I really appreciate you playing and giving all this feedback, thank you :D To your questions:
- There's a small bug with ending names, "Ending" is supposed to be "Goddess Ending." There are a total of 4, the first you got (High Witch) is a bit of an outlier where the player performs the regular Hearth Ritual but in the mirrored state
- I'm glad you caught on to some of the hints we laid out for Conception (the cube), and I agree there could be some more clear feedback when a sense is finished.
- I severely underestimated point-and-click players, I had supposed no one would find the mirror world, let alone find it accidentally. But now that I've seen it happen a few times, I totally agree, I would like to figure something out there. Maybe "gate" it until the mirror scroll is read / used.
I would have liked to have more mirror interactions, but its only use is for getting the alternate endings. The wizard explains some of the mirror stuff, but most lore I have written for it didn't make it into the game for different reasons. Happy to explain more if you're curious. - It would be nice to have more split paths like that with the Wizard, but time didn't allow, so don't sweat trying with others. The main reasoning for including this specific split path is wanting to reward players who were suspicious of the shadow / or the given "authority" like the creature in the cells, since blindly trusting them leads the player towards a "doomed" ending
