- The game is interesting and fun, but the 3rd level is very laggy (on this machine). The theme of shadow can be seen in multiple ways but alchemy is not very well implemented. Poitions are generally not counted into this. The gameplay is nothing new but still implemented fairly nicely with abilities. The Art takes the crown in this game. The clever implementation of cryptography and animations paired with a simple but fitting soundtrack is very cool. The figures themselves are sadly a bit hard to see in the dark spots of the maps. Good game, just needs a bit more work.

Visually the game is really impressive. I really like how you use the fantasy language that turns into english, although it hurts UI readability a little.
Now, the gameplay… Well, the game is definitely too difficult as I didn’t manage to beat the first mission. But more importantly, it’s too frontloaded with information. You need to choose from 8 characters and it’s not clear how they differ from another. Then you have all the potions, and no way to check what potions each character has without starting a level.
Also the game froze on me after a couple of restarts.
But I think it’s fun, will definitely try to finish it later.
