I felt that the game was really hard to play due to how the controls are configured. Intuitively I expect WASD to be Up, Left, Down, and Right but making them diagonal is really distracting. I found that pushing multiple keys allows the player to move Up, Left, Down, and Right and the game handles it just fine. I think it would be best to keep WASD for the Up, Left, Down, and Right and let them use that to traverse diagonally by pressing multiple keys since that occurs often in other games. Also, while the sword animation looks good, it moves too slowly. Combined with the slow recharge time it makes it impossible to fight the enemies since there are just so many of them. I would advocate for making both the attack animation and the recharge time faster, or even ditch the recharge time altogether. Aside from those issues I though the art style and the level design was pretty well done. I can tell you put a lot of effort into this game. Good work!

Had to rename a file in order to get it to work, but other than that well done! the controls were a bit hard to manage with the attacking and hologram and ended up getting a bit stuck on the last level because i was only ever able to find two orange squares, and then the faster cockroaches got me before i could react.
But regardless, still not a bad game and definitely challenging! fits the theme well, and props for going 3D!
When I downloaded your game here: https://messerhawke.itch.io/lost-in-truth, to be able to play I had to rename the folder to LostInTruth_data
The game view, from above, up close, surrounded by darkness, everything in monochrome shades, gives the player a really claustrophobic feeling. That worked really well with the haunting music and the title of the game. The controls feel really wonky at first (because of the 45 degree angle), but maybe feeling a bit out of control is fitting as well. I could imagine a more narrative being provided by a voice over or something.
Thanks for creating this!
I received the 'lose game screen' while I had reading a title, hm
Control is a bit clumsy, but after some fix, it could be solid unique controls, like it!
At 3d level after death, I need to wait a couple of seconds before OK is working. Little thing but annoys me a little.
At this point, this game started to be very difficult for me.
But still, solid game design, like it!
Fun game and fits the theme, the movement was a bit tricky at the beginning but I got the hang of it after a while, well done :)
Very well cured in the details, the arts is neat and enjoyable. Game play is easy to understand and funny. Well done!
Good luck!

The game has a good creepy atmosphere!
The controls felt quite strange, Im guessing my input is translated to a direction on map. But as a player I feel confused when the i input left and the character does not move left, but diagonally left. Felt sort of like I was drunk.
Also, not sure if I'm the only one, but I had to rename the folder Yokoso_Data to LostInTruth_Data for the game to run.
