I want to start by saying the visuals intrigued me and liked how you use default assets but feel like they fit, plus the sprites are really nice. The characters got very cool designs and I think the only thing I would add is that the npcs had varied different body expressions, but the protagonist only changed her facial expressions, so she felt very stoic compared to the others (tho Im aware it could be because a limited time thing).
I was curious about where the story was going, and some of the deaths actually made me jump, like the necklace bust, which reminded me of classic horror RPG games deaths.
I honest didn't manage to finish because I got eventually tired of running around, it is hard to tell where to go next and most of the time I found myself spamming the enter key to find what I could interact with. I managed to get several items and move forward but most of it was me using all the items in every spot I thought could be used and hoped for the best (and often I wasn't sure why I was doing certain things).
Spoilers:
For items I got, rope, glass shard, brush, the phoenix seed, and I think that's it. I also managed to get the strange man to go to the stage but I got stuck after that, not sure what to do next. I got a message in the mirrored room that "Something downstairs changed" or something along those lines but couldn't figure what downstairs was.
I planted the phoenix seed on the pot nearby the horse and brushed it's mane, but not sure what I accomplished with that.
