I echo other's comments. This game has really interesting atmosphere. I wish it wasn't so devastatingly difficult to explore, because it is really intriguing! Nice work! I would love to play an update that addresses some of the concerns listed here.
Catchy graphics, music, overall atmosphere, should be run in fullscreen by default because of dark colors.
Very hard and at the same time has movement bugs which make it even harder:
Other notes:
Also maybe it's just me, but battles are unbalanced. It's nearly impossible to kill evil box or slime creature using knife without loosing life. And killing it with light is very expensive in term of energy.
Due to very scarced resources and tough battles, the game is rather puzzle than action. Player mostly should find his path to avoid enemies, and not trying to defeat them.
In general, I liked the atmosphere, the world, the idea. I think the game can benefit from giving a player a bit higher chance in battles and/or more resources.
Very nice submittion!
i am very grateful for your comment, i will take it into consideration for next updates for next projects
It was a little dark, can't see what was happing, Sound was good
You can add some info to the inventory items, combat felt very one sided
Hope you work on the improvements after JAM
I couldn't open nor extract the game, says the zip is invalid.
i think now is fixed
Yeah, works now! Quite hard game though, it's hard to avoid hazards and you die very fast. I always enjoy looting random items, but the game should explain better what they're good for. You can also fall off the map by walking past some doorways.
