The pixel art was really well done! I really loved how the world was slowly being consumed it really gave a sense of urgency! I think the whole idea of being poisoned by the entity is really cool and how it messes with your controllers. The sound was also used effectively with the music overall really good!

Note: 

Some suggestions that I think would elevate the game. Add a reset button where the player maybe decides to end his run and start again that way he can go back and find more clues.

Another way that this could be achieved is by adding a mechanic so that when he's outside of the influence of the entity he regenerates and doesn't die, that way the player can strategize a bit better. 

And maybe add an item that can give the player a longer duration of time inside the entity is territory. 

Overall, really cool ideas!

The art and the music were certainly a highlight. While I'm not a big fan of timed games, I do think it works pretty well here. You generally have enough time to find one or two clues for your next run after getting cursed, plus technically getting to decide when you start the curse, is a very cool decision for the player. 

Nice work!

A very cool short game! I love the graphic style and how well thought out the level is, leaving just enough space to move around and activate the stones. As others have said the movement can be a bit frustrating, but that's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it encourages you to try harder to finish the whole thing!

really awesome concept, the stone stuff wasn't really clear at the start but once i understood it was really cool

Very frustrating but in a good way. Great concept. Just initially had trouble figuring out that the stones are not on/off.

I really like the controls being all messed up when you are dealing with the effects of the cosmic horror.

Great balance of challenge without the frustration. Music well done too!
