- The concept of the game is good. You can definitley play the game, everything is working. The Theme was adopted, though I wish "Shadow" wasn't relegated to just some vague lore concept. The game works well, but is hindered by some of the artistic styles, that were made. Kudos for making everything on your own. But some things could have been better delineated, so some of the clues are easier to read not not unnecessarily burdensome to deal with. The challenge should be deciphering the clues, not obtaining it due to difficult optics.

The story and mechanics are simple, the main focus is to solve steganographic ciphers in order to unlock more elements, the game has 7 ciphers in total.

Well done! The volcano cipher is a bit hard to read & led to making a few mistakes but was still fun.
Thanks, yeah most of the development time the ciphers vere very simple, only later did i come up with the designs. I agree, that the lava was not as good as the other ones (but i think it was too late to change it), glad that you enjoyed it and that its possible :D
