loved the style and world building with the snow and darkness vs the fire spirit!The walking in the cold animation was nice! (I got tired of it after the 6+ time, but I assume if you had more time you could have had some other ones. Yet even tired, I kept trying to analyse it, and feel the cold, so I guess it worked as intented in world building.)
I found interesting the narrative path you went for, the cryptic symbols and later rewarding your training for choosing beneficial paths, but after 2 "next areas" I kept spamming the "click next" button without reading much (thank you for including the quick option! I would have given up way earlier!)
