Hey man, I just tried out your game and I must say, you have a really cool concept in hands. I don’t have much to say about it since all the bug reports I planned on doing were already found (looks like the others beat me to it), but it really brought back the vibes I got from The Egyptian by Mika Waltari — that divine unluckiness, ancient mysticism kind of feel. I loved that, and your game nails it.

The only things that were a bit frustrating during my playthrough were that the dialog is in world instead of screen space, so you have to be in front of people to talk to them. Otherwise the text clips into the capsules and you can’t read much.

Another thing - it caught me off guard : is that when the game gets dark, it gets REALLY dark. Like I almost couldn't see anything. It was almost pitch black inside the house, I even fought the game froze for at least 15 seconds lol.

And the last one is that there wasn’t - or at least didn’t find it - a way to access the settings menu after starting the game. I know it’s still very early but being able to tweak things mid-game would definitely help down the line.

— btw the movement feels great, especially the jump and landing animations. Extremely smooth and satisfying.

Overall, I’m really excited to see how this prototype will evolve - I hope - into a finished game. I subscribed so I’ll be following along at future updates.

Best of luck on your development journey — I’m rooting for you!

Thanks for the feedback! Good to know about the darkness, I'll be sure to put a slider menu for gamma or something (which will also become a pause menu lol.) 

That bit about dialogue in world space is a good note too. I plan on having those as subtitles with animated scenes, but obviously not there yet. I can start that transition sooner though since dialogue feedback is going to be important soon, which means I need to make it readable lol. 

Thanks for playing! I love your note about the Egyptian since that was a piece I used for research. Glad the vibe is coming through!

No waaaaaay!!! Must be one of the reasons you're nailing it, I just love this saga. There's something about it that makes it really special, I could never put my finger on what but it's one of my favourite books of all time. It's a shame it didn't go for longer than two volumes.
