Also (very positively) I noticed an allegory in the gameplay. You can not advance your powers if you only run away from the monsters (You have to collect power from ovwepowering them)– Mirroring the idea that you can not always run away from your problems and inner demons (you have to glean wisdom from overcoming them).

Holy shit... :D I might steal your take offs from this game and tell them onwards!! Like we wanted to portrait fighting the inner demons and overcoming yourself (the boss level) in the end, but I did not even think about that angle, but now that you say it, it's obvious and SO true!
Thank you for your review! You opened my eyes :D :)
