Here is my opinion about the game so far. I do love the retro style to me cause the less crazy graphics are easier to process and not get overwhelming to look at and it is more of a classic style game feel the images when picking up the artifacts were really creepy and I kind of got some cool creepy haunted vibes of an unknown abounded society.
Some things I think could use some fixing was first I felt like the vision was zoomed in too much and in the tight spaces, it was too hard to see where to go for a bit. I also think the book with the symbols using them to say things were a bit confusing to open those gates and I felt like I just clicked and figured it out in the future try adding more like a feel of that the sounds combine together a lot more. There also were some cracks where I could see out of the boundaries of the game so maybe seal them up with a wall or something else the locations were when getting the second artifact and when you left the temple after getting both of the artifacts.
Other than that I'm trying to not be negative about this project and was giving you ideas for fixing and helping the overall project and I could see some good effort made into this game and felt like a good small title to try out a great job.
