Super cool visuals, love the old school look, the style reminds me a bit of an upcoming Steam game called Cavern by Dogma Quest if you've heard of it. You nailed the lighting and eerie world feel of the terrain, great job with the overall aesthetic. Even the bare bones inventory fits in very nicely in the world. I struggled a bit to understand what to do in terms of gameplay, and I think a bit of player on-boarding would go a long way. That being said, the art and presentation were excellent to me. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks,
Yeah, a little tutorial would have been nice, I would take some times to do it next time.
I have checked Cavern by Dogma Quest and I don't see the parallel others that it's old, Cavern is in the graphical style of The Legend of Zelda (1986) and Ebb&Burden is in the graphical style of Diablo II (1997) and Populous: The Beginning (1998), it's a decade apart in a period of market's explosion.
I was near to remove the inventory and items from the released version, players doesn't see their own stats (mainly movement speeds on different terrain) and the influence of items on stats.
