- For playability, the controls made sense, simplistic approach and execution when playing. For the themes, I found shadow to be interesting when it came to traversing the areas provided and delivering items to various people, all the while avoiding whatever highlighted entity that shows up and chases you down. As for alchemy, I cannot fully speak to this from the time I spent playing, as I'm not sure how you interpreted it into your game. If the selling products to those people was alchemy, then I don't find that all too compelling as a result. Not sure if there's a more creative way to present it while keeping the selling potions aspect, but I'd like to see if it is possible. For artistic style, I definitely found the characters and environment to be done well, and, the music and sound effects were an added plus due to how the aesthetic of the game felt a bit creepy while I kept to the shadows. Overall, I'm curious how else things could be expanded upon in terms of the themes, while not having to fully switch up the core mechanics you already put in place. All in all, keep up the good work.
- the idea is good, but I would have liked to see you lean more into the themes.
