Very cool game! I was able to get the crossbow, and loved getting through the enemies you had set up in the area. The art design of this is really great, and gives serious Another World/Heart of Darkness vibes. There were some accessibility issues - taking such radical fall damage prevented me from getting much further than the crossbow, and the lack of health regen (other than the sparse healing spells) made it extra punishing.
Seeing more of the world would be excellent! It was so easy to get sucked in, despite the challenge. Thanks so much for putting this together!
