Thanks for giving it a go, Wuppos. You're right: the controls aren't as evident as they should be, particularly as the current state makes it difficult for players to restore their health (X on Xbox, Shift on PC). Thankfully, it seems like you were capable enough to manage without it, haha; be sure I'll look into it.
Furthermore, we're still working on the game, so hopefully, the rest of the story will not remain a secret for much longer. And yeah, Archvale was a big inspiration, maybe too big an inspiration, haha. Hopefully, the finished game will stray away from it a little.
I appreciate your comprehensive feedback, Wuppos. Thanks again for checking it out. :)
