Game Crashed for me, but up to that point was pretty enjoyable, text is a bit small, probably good to have a bit of quick dialogue after each level to show the progression of story, has the elden ring bread crumbs which is nice

- Creepy music, creepy art style; characters, environment, and whatever that dark figure was that ran off screen almost too quicky--all of this, very well done. I found the controls easy to grasp, and traversing through each room while solving the puzzles laid out to be considerably well thought out. I was also intrigued by the journal entries that were scattered around to read while you were working towards gathering items to complete each puzzle. In regards to the themes, I found solving puzzles to be a bit more creative in terms of how alchemy was used here, while for shadow my interpretation was towards the story you were trying to tell; in the sense of there being a sort of secret society or secret entity you had to uncover throughout the game. This definitely kept my interest, especially due to the music. Overall, I would likely come back to play more of this, so do keep up the good work!

Loved the music (gave me og doom vibes, I was almost expecting a boomer shooter from the sounds) and the visuals are really nice. I also encountered a crash at the white potion door; I did not open all of the gates to get to the end, does that make a difference? Only other thing I’d like is some sort of visual in the centre of the potion making screen to show what potion you made once you brew it, as it looks like there’s a spot for it but I never saw it while brewing. None the less, I had fun playing :)
