Even in a world with Gods, dragons and Deamons...there is always a bigger fish...

really liked the 'troll mirror magic' was very cool and a little creepy, well done.

that little shade demon thing sounds really creepy...

Developer

Thanks! I honestly thought it would be annoying, may I be forgiven for it, but surprisingly few people have picked up on the real shape of it.

Submitted

Very compelling! The way the risk increases with each realization, leaving you wondering by the end whether anything is safe at all... Well done.

I'm sure the nature of the writing jam affected your editing process, but the layout of the piece and various technical issues were a little distracting. If you were to clean up the missing (or extra) punctuation, and other typos, you'd have a story to be reckoned with!

But great job overall. The ending was really punchy!

Developer

Thanks man! Yeah, got a bit rushed at the end, and I can see where I made some errors. I should have kept everything aligned along the left side throughout the whole piece. It was tricky to write, but fun. I honestly probably won't fix it since this kind of thing only works once, but like I said, it was fun, and surprisingly few people noticed it anyway, or if they did, they're keeping it to themselves.

...you sneaky son of a gun

Congrats! You’re the first person to catch it.

I really liked what you did with the reflection theme, delving into the idea of images as information and blending that with magic in a very intriguing way. The action was also quite good. The ending could have been stronger, though - I would personally have gone with a sentence or two of the narrator worrying about the potential dangers to the city caused by the escaped cognito hazard.

Developer

Thanks man! I was actually trying to do something a little different with the ending. May you forgive me for it.

The magic was great.

The beyond Havok was interesting.

Don't be afraid to use names with dialogue, it got a bit confusing with who was talking.

I liked it. The balance of narration, dialogue, and action was great and the magic was very creative and neat. :0)
