Didn't get to far, but I liked the shadow mechanic. Because I was stuck didn't see any alchemy mechanic. Got the blue crystal, but after getting back to the second gate I somehow activate an elevator with the shadow and thats it.

Music has a tranquil vibe, style is ok (no animation :/). Controls are a bit wonky (arrows left/right for movement, enter for interacting with objects and furthering dialog, Shift for activating the shadow, space for jumping and supposedly Alt for something I couldn't use yet).
I liked how Alt and Shift functionallity was introduced and explained, should have been made for character movement aswell.
