There’s definitely something special here and I could feel the emotional weight behind the design choices. I was a bit confused about how the light system worked as it seemed like sometimes I had positive light but I would still get to the lose screen, but I was still definitely curious to find out the game’s deeper meaning and kept trying! Would love love to see how you evolves this, seen how much thoughtfulness has been put into this entry.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate your encouragement 🙏
I will add the math of the light here and in the instructions as I think I should have made that more clear to the player through ingame feedback which I will add too in the next version.
Basically there is an initial loss from living the memory and as long as the memory is not resolved, the initial loss will be repeated on scene entry. For scenes that require praying (the harder ones), praying decrease initial loss by a certain amount and as you continue praying each time the initial decreases until it reaches zero. Also, doing actions to resolve a bad memory requires some light. The amounts are different depending on the level of pain attached to the memory.
On the other side you gain light from good memories, from resolving bad memories, and praying.
I will continue working on this one the soonest in sha' Allah and hopefully you will be playing a more refined and more enjoyable version soon :)
Thanks again :)
