Very nice work on the animation and graphics. Good cohesive feel to the world and characters which I think comes from it not being tiled on a grid and the subtle use of parallax scrolling as well as keeping the animations from being too large. I particularly liked the style of the buildings and was a little disappointed I couldn't go in them.
It would be nice if the game paused whilst showing the scrolls... I couldn't read them without being savaged by a zombie horde ;) Though it did mean I had to go and find the original poem which in turn led to others so... mission accomplished?
Also, the camera lets Sappho get ahead so I'm sending her running into the unknown. It's not a big problem since it's not so fast paced that I get into trouble or miss things but it feels a little off.
Am I a bad person for expecting Aphrodite to arrive and cast Turn Undead?
