Lovely take on the theme! It took me a while to find the key-hole aberration, but once I did everything fell neatly into place! I especially liked the visuals in the portal dimension and the voice lines for the scared townsfolk.
I almost quit the game after just a few minutes because I wasn't sure what was going on or what I was supposed to do, but the pause menu revealed the objective. I think the text used in the pause menu would be better used as the text at the beginning that gives a bit of a tutorial, it felt like it gave a bit more clear direction. Regardless, this was fun to play! Great job!
