I loved the graphics and sound. Very nice - especially if you built all the assets from scratch. The controls were a bit wierd, but I got used to it. I didn't quite get the game mechanic, though. What was I supposed to do? I tried running around exploring to the sides and found som blue souls (seemingly in random locations?), but then I died. I tried just walking forward slowly. That way I got much further, but it was not so much fun, and I didn't find any souls, so I died anyway. When I died I had to rewalk the whoooole way, just with a bit different path. In the end, I gave up. Perhaps I missed something? Otherwise, my suggestions would be:
- Add some kind of clues or ways to figure out where you should go.
- Add some kind of saving points.
Right now, I didn't feel I have any agency or way to improve, except perhaps slowly trail and error. With all that said, the mood, environment and sound design are among the best I've seen yet in this game! Good work!
