Every aspect of this game can get a five star on its own, you cannot emphasize enough how amazing each individual part is when put together in this game. The puzzle part alone is perfectly planned and executed, the NPC is very cool, and the light effects fit perfectly with the scenery. Had to quit after the puzzle because I am on a time crunch to rate all of these, but this one defiantly stood out above the rest of them, and deserves the upmost rating.

I really liked the eerie, yet friendly atmosphere in the first part of the game (up to and including the portal), with its helpful floating-hologram-lit path through the dark and crow-filled environment. Great to see all the effort you put into the interactivity as well!

Desert TempleFrom the first moment you arrive you already feel a proper ambiance of home nostalgia that is really suitable for the moment. After it, all that comes with the addition of the hologram, the scenery, dialogue and the easily overseen but fundamental echo that the ghost produces as you talk with him makes it a truly wonderful experience. But ufff, I did not expect to have one of these puzzles in this contest to be honest hahaha (maybe I made it harder than it was :P) . I had to go pen and paper to do it; not to mention that the first time going through it I just closed the game out of soft frustration after 10 minutes of random playfulness. Reaaaally cool :D
Wow, you did it? :D I was kinda worried that noone will even see the Underworld, because of how hard it is! I added the puzzle too late in the process and didn't have time to properly play around with the difficulty - it would probably be okay if the player was prepared for this by a few earlier, easier versions, though I'm not sure if I would be able to give the portal a proper meaning then. The second half was also kinda rushed, especially the ending cutscence, that I've done last night before the deadline, falling asleep on the keyboard :D
It was a really fun moment to play this game ! It was maybe a bit too dark at the beginning.
