i really like the aesthetics.
ran into a bug pretty quick though. i drew the sword and approached the first enemy without light. i couldnt attack. i turned into a few directions and then advanced towards the enemy. the light went on and the fight started. i had just figured out how to block when the enemy stopped attacking. maybe i was a bit quick on the buttons. holding esc didnt work. the only key that seemed to still work was the clock.
the second time i went there with light, but didnt draw the sword. the enemy started attacking me, but i didnt seem to die.
third time i left my sword behind at the stone and ran into the fool. i walked a different direction and when the fool alerted the master i heard a sound and the screen shaked. after that i could not move.
fourth: tried to reproduce 1, then 3. i could move after the sound, but ran into the axe guy. instead of killing me as i had no sword, i landed in bed after the attack.
looking forward for updates.
