I really appreciate you playing and giving all this feedback, thank you :D To your questions:
There's a small bug with ending names, "Ending" is supposed to be "Goddess Ending." There are a total of 4, the first you got (High Witch) is a bit of an outlier where the player performs the regular Hearth Ritual but in the mirrored state
I'm glad you caught on to some of the hints we laid out for Conception (the cube), and I agree there could be some more clear feedback when a sense is finished.
I severely underestimated point-and-click players, I had supposed no one would find the mirror world, let alone find it accidentally. But now that I've seen it happen a few times, I totally agree, I would like to figure something out there. Maybe "gate" it until the mirror scroll is read / used. I would have liked to have more mirror interactions, but its only use is for getting the alternate endings. The wizard explains some of the mirror stuff, but most lore I have written for it didn't make it into the game for different reasons. Happy to explain more if you're curious.
It would be nice to have more split paths like that with the Wizard, but time didn't allow, so don't sweat trying with others. The main reasoning for including this specific split path is wanting to reward players who were suspicious of the shadow / or the given "authority" like the creature in the cells, since blindly trusting them leads the player towards a "doomed" ending
Really like the theme and artwork in this game, great work! The first level was a bit confusing, it would have been nice if there was an earlier room with less followers to more outright teach the mechanics.
The mirror scroll is a hint towards the high witch ending and the other mirror ending. Seems like you figured it out :) Maybe you can get the wizard to talk with you about in more detail…
The shrine indeed refers to the cube, and the spirals do match. I would try to make it happy and go back to the shrine
Wow - sub 1:20!! Really nice job, thanks for playing and seeing WR through. I hear you about the spikes, in my own run i was getting pretty frustrated too lol
omgg thank you!! i do wish we had the time to fix spikes, i totally agree that some are too mean. but i’m happy to hear you played so long and had fun!! :D we wanted “routing” to be encouraged and there’s definitely better ways of doing it, cool to hear it’s something you experienced
Kaizo was a big inspo, particularly in the “punish” moments of the levels. Thank you for saying all that! And the clip is super helpful, there is definitely some buggy geometry there. We’ll get that fixed :)
