The art was done very nicely. I was also a fan of how catchy the music sounded while playing. The combat was straightforward for me as well. In regards to the themes and their implementation, I could only say that the way the enemies changed in their 'form' after attacking is where alchemy comes into play for me (i.e.-transformation). My interpretation of shadow may just be the environment for the game. Along with this, and looking over your GDD, I didn't fully understand what the light source was for until I got to the boss fight either. Overall, what you presented was nice, but I'd like to have seen a more unique approach to the ways the themes were incorporated with the story you presented as well. Keep up the hard work, all the same

Extra Notes
I was very inspired by your videos, assembled a team with almost no experience in game dev. Was a very cool experience.

cool game, I thought the art was nice. Only critique is the attack animation stops movement which feels awkward
