That was a really good game !
The art and the ambiance are just: beautiful, love that !
I really liked the cycle mechanic, it really forced me to change my playstyle to make the most out of each phase.
And I really enjoyed the more calm, methodical approach of the combat system. Its not slow by any means, but you don't feel like you're in a rush.
I really liked how the UI was integrated into the game ! Really inspiring stuff.
If I had critiques, I would say that to me the game feels a bit dull, and would probably use some more player feedback or some juice, even though the austerity that comes out of not having too much player feedback serves the atmosphere, I think a middle ground could be found.
And also, I often felt like the game was too punishing. The hitboxes felt like they were a tiny bit too big, like I kept getting damaged for scraping by enemies.
But that's just me nitpicking !
I really enjoyed playing through all of the game !
