Amazing!

I love the magical atmosphere of the game! However, I found it difficult to navigate since there wasn't much guidance for the player. While the green lights worked well to attract attention, there was no interaction with them, making it hard to determine if that was where the player should be going. Nonetheless, the visuals and audio were excellent, and overall it was a good experience. Well done!

The scene was beautiful, but after playing for a while, my computer crashed

Thanks for your review. Yeh, we really ran out of time to optimise the build so it definitely runs a bit heavy.
