another time loop game like cavernous has been something ive wanted for years! this is a really good game, but feels a little too slow in terms of actual progress. and its a shame the echos dont do anything. i still havent figured out how to leave the house. but ive been just about everywhere. and discovered as much of the map as i can find. this game really would be so fun once its a full game. the gameplay loop is really enjoyable.
a few more information would also be nice. it wasnt clear to me what focus did. since i felt its effects werent worth using. the cooldown underneath the mana made me think that the focus lasted that long, and i was upset when i upgraded it and it reduced how long it lasted. but of course that was the cooldown instead.
still not entirely sure how to use focus though. it seeminly only gives you a small boost in speed when interacting with things.
while its really cool to add lots of things in the game when its not finished yet. played it can be quite frustrating when some things dont do anything. i would delay adding the echos until theyre actually usable. just saying "purpose unclear" is really unsatisfying, after spending time to find a path to them.
really cool game though!" cant wait to see what you do with it!
