Wow, I could've never expected a dungeon crawler! I like to voxel art and the relatable story (well, the beginning of the story). The labyrinth was pretty disorienting though, because of the textures and there were some visual bugs caused by overlapping 3D-models. The inventory system suggests that you had even bigger plans for the game. Overall this is a great enrty for the jam!

I really love the concept of getting sent to this netherworld, and I think the difficulty of traversing the dark maze is a strong gameplay concept. I wish the game got to that part sooner, especially since most of the things you do in the 'real world' don't really impact the story. For example, going out to get the eggs seemed like an unnecessary scene. I enjoyed it though, and thanks for making the game! :D

I actually recorded my playthrough. If you want to see my impressions as I played, you can see it below (timestamp for your game in the description). Hope that can be useful!

I don't think the dialogue is that bad but may be slightly offensive to some people
