I really like the visuals! Unfortunately the game seems to crash every few minutes (seems to happen when I click a character then click on a tile to move) and I'm not able to see how it plays out to the end. In any case, I could see the strategic gameplay elements being fleshed out to make a compelling, atmospheric thinking game!

Game looks incredibly good and audio fits well! That's a lot of work here done in 10 days, congrats. Just a bit sad cuz I got multiple game breaking bugs (crashing it) after a few seconds of gameplay, when interacting with things.
Graphics and overall style is what captures your attention right away. Unfortunately, crashes happen often :(
But for 10 days with just two people — solid result!
Suggestion: maybe highlight a charachter in UI who's turn it is? I can't right away recognise what character this is comparing with the description page. Really hope you plan on to apply some polish, as I'd love to return to it later!

Very cool game! Ended up getting a crash on both my playthroughs:

Got a second error on my second playthrough:

Overall though, I love the atmosphere and the graphics, especially for the storm, look incredible. Unfortuantely I was never able to get further than 1 or 2 full rounds without the game crashing so I feel like I'm missing out on some of the really good parts of the game. But overall I really dig it and would love to play another version once the bugs are patched.
This is so clean, and the aesthetic is beautiful. It’s pretty fun too once you get the hang of it. Awesome work!
