I really like the hook that you're on the heels of an epic hero, and therefore there's not much left to find. But I was hoping to find more signs of the hero. Maybe solve dangerous puzzles by looking at his tracks. Learn what his quest is; his purpose in this dungeon. Maybe you're no hero yourself, but a foe trying to get his own back. The game has great atmosphere, but I wished it did more with it...

Thank you for the feed back!
We had intended to show him leaving each boss room just as you enter it. And we do plan on adding more content (more floors, added puzzles, ect.) once the rating process has been completed.
There is a small story being told with the shop keeper from floor 1 to floor 2, that we wish to embellish on. And the second set of bosses (randomized between two different characters), and the hero himself make reference to Beowulf. In the content we plan to add, we hope to make this more clear, from the players perspective.
And like with the other posts: Just out of curiosity, how far did you get? And how many attempts did you give it?
Again thank you for the feedback, and have a wonderful day.
If I remember correctly, I got to the third level, mostly ignoring enemies unless they got in the way.
Glad to hear you're going to build further on the idea ! I still think it's a great hook, to not play the hero but follow in his/her footsteps. You could take that in many directions. Curious to see where you will end up. :-)
