Yo! I streamed the game, and I really enjoyed it! 
The art is on point, fits the theme perfectly and was coherent the whole journey.
The gameplay is nice, a "relaxing" exploration where you gather the objects or information you need. Very fun to be able to make choices based on the run you want to play. Even if I had to get my hands dirty since I didn't manage to complete the sacrificial dagger mission, even if I think I looked everywhere in that map.
Also the battle system is way too basic, where you barely withstand an enemy attack, and kill them with the second hit (and I don't think there was a use for the item that gave the speed buff - since I think you always act first). but at least the resource management makes up for it, making battles more of a choice and less of a gameplay section.

Overall I felt really engaged by the game, all the atmosphere, story and characters made me curious to continue. So I would say you did a pretty good job, congratulations!
If you're interested, here's the VOD: 

Impressive stuff put together in a month! The atmosphere and presentation is great. The area is just the right size between large and not tedious. Some good writing too. Gameplay/combat is basic though, but that's not the point of the game.

This was impressively compelling! Initially, I was worried the game's default walking speed and lack of combat gameplay would slow the experience into a slog, but the areas were condensed enough to largely prevent that issue. Moreover, the writing and artwork were genuinely immersive and made good on the "Dark Souls" portion of the "Dark Souls meets Disco Elysium."

I do think the gameplay around character discussions doesn't truly reach Disco Elysium's standard since the game lacks dice rolls and meaningful character customization, but it does fit well as a standard adventure game with interesting dialogue trees.

Ultimately, I was taken aback by how effective the foreboding atmosphere and ambiguous writing were! They largely plastered over some of the lacking elements such as the simplistic combat and the standard UI and battle animations. I'll also add that the ending twist felt somewhat silly as a "gotcha!" moment, since the rest of the writing felt so ominous and dense by contrast. It did match the theme of the jam well though, which proved important since until that point I was unsure how exactly the game would fit into the jam's theme requirement.

This was a beautiful little adventure game with a great, Souls-like atmosphere! Great work!

The ambiance and presentation of the game are truly incredible. The Fear and Hunger vibe really hooked me. You did a great job—GG! ❤

I have to agree that this game looks absolutely beautiful and it has the most amazingly oppressive atmosphere.

Fantastic heavy atmosphere that hangs over your head like the Sword of Damocles or another moody metaphor. Everything is purposely poignant and intricately designed that encourages critical thinking and engaging with the world and story. 

Wonderous artwork all throughout as well, prefect for the tone you are aiming for.  Great job on it all, such a clear and concise vision executed excellently. 

Amazing art and atmosphere! It was a pleasure to just walk around and take it in. The positives of this game are pretty obvious, but I'll offer a few critiques, in case you decide to develop this further (and I think you should):

Minor things you probably just ran out of time on: Some sort of ambience/music during battle (it seemed a little silent); at least one of the combats used default assets, which really stuck out compared to the beautiful hand-drawn art; the black orb doesn't seem to do anything?

I'm completely stunned! What a game, the art is great, the level design is well made and the ambiance is amazing. I can't believe this was made in a month! This is a game I would pay for. A few tiny flaws if any, getting from a point A to B is a little slow, especially when the map is so big, not being able to sprint is good for the immersion in the beginning but in the long term becomes tedious. Another thing would be that there isn't a battle background in the executioner's fight. The beginning intro when you lauch the game is also a little too dark, I couldn't tell that I could move and that the game started. But what's 3 flaws to a 100 top notch features, I mean it, what an amazing game!

you Gotta love the illustrations, each character is unique and the environment does so much for this story, I was delightfully suprised with the amount of things in the environment I could actually interact with. same with the clipping, every path on the map felt clear and the collision felt incredibly smooth. I did find myself getting lost at some points and combat did feel basic but overall I love what this game is and can't wait to see where the creator take this and/or their next project
