It took me a bit to figure out I needed to do an arrow key combination to cast a spell, but I figured it out. Personally, I am not a really big fan of the Lostwood-style level design. It always feels a bit too much trial and error. Maybe give visual hints or something on your mini-map that indicates the direction you need to go. The casting of spells was fun frost was my go to spell!

Thanks, glad you liked the spellcasting mechanic! The mimimap highlights where the current room leads and “fills” the visited rooms. The idea was that you figure out that you need to collect 4 spells and look for them in the rooms you haven’t visited yet. I can totally see how there could be more guidance in this system!
