That was great! The character portraits and their variety of expressions lent some real gravitas to the story. I also enjoyed how the game managed to involve horror and a heavy emphasis on storytelling, while still being a genuine rpg with combat mechanics and varied dungeon designs.
I also enjoyed being able to grind out a few encounters early on to receive the magic spells. By the end, I was leveled and equipped enough to take out the final boss with relative ease, which was a nice payoff to that earlier preparing. The narrative being about Lyra's growth in ability and skill matched that rise to power well.
Great entry all around!
