Great job! It looks fantastic.
Managed to get 6 of the 7 music sounds, but couldn't find the last one.

Hello! I am looking for an artist to team up with. I am a Unity Generalist/Coder in the CET timezone. I recently have participated in a GameJam as a Programmer & Level-Designer and produced a 2D Side-Scroller: https://jakayne.itch.io/. As for Game-Genre I am open for anything! DM me, if you are interested!
Now I know I never want to be stuck in a maze! Seriously though, the art is lovely, the levels each have a different feel. As others have said, the core gameplay feels a bit lacking. I could imagine if you had a timer, had to run away from something, or just simply had to do more, the game would feel more rewarding. Still a very good entry!
This is an interesting one! I actually read the "Post Mortem" before playing. It really shows how much effort you put into creating this. While the story, art and music make the game very pleasing to interact with the gameplay of the minigames are lacking. They feel more like chores and don't provide the player with much sense of accomplishment or enjoyment. My suggestion would be, to stick to only one and try to improve that one as much as you can.
Thank you for your kind words! For the mythological side we tried to introduce it from the crusaders side of view: Discovering a heathen, "devilish" people, with their own myths & legends. But with the time constraint we couldn't introduce as much as we had hoped for. Great you recognized Hermann von Salza! :)
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, in retrospect using this font especially for the longer texts was a questionable decision.
The mythological side is actually pretty interesting. The target of the Prussian Crusade were the Old Prussians, a Balto-Slavic people, who later got assimilated / germanized. The had a polytheistic religion closely related to other Baltic faiths. Most of the sources about the Old Prussians were written at a much later date and introduced several major legends. The Temple of Romuva is one of them and was never actually found, neither in the real world or in the legends. It was supposed to be a holy tree with eternal sacred fire. As the name suggests it is derived of Rome and may have been a propaganda lie by the catholic church to gather support for the crusade.
