Great art and vibe, love the UI as well and the theme. But I couldn't really figure out what I'm doing wrong. The first run with Luna I was doing 1 damage per hit and taking 1 damage per hit, so killing skellies took a while. On the second and third runs with the other chars, I would deal and take 8-9 damage so combat would be over in three rounds. The third run I died at the first skellie with no chance to pass it.
So, if you sort out that lil' problem with combat, it'd be a really good experience!
Love the old school art style of the game. The art in the cutscenes, textures, UI everything looks wonderful. Movement is also very smooth. Combat is straightforward and tough. I lost most of my HP to a single skeleton. There are no spells or abilites , you just bash it with your sword by spamming lmb. Sanity goes down too fast and i haven't seen anything in the game which restores sanity which makes the game a race against time. Not sure it's a good idea in a dungeon crawler game.
Overall it's a pretty solid game. Nice job!
