It's a fun game, but losing all my Darkness Essence every time I get defeated makes the game feel a bit punishing for my tastes. If you could make there be two difficulties, and what is currently normal gameplay be hardcore mode, I would find it to be...less stressful to play. I'm still going to try to progress a bit further, but the unpredictability makes it harder. On another subject, the artwork is really good, and I like the skill tree so far. Thanks for making the game.
