Hey, so just wanted to mention that when playing the itch.io DEMO, there seems to be a lot of place holder text. Doesn't affect the game play, just noticed it.

Hello Roboto
I have already uploaded a corrected version.
Thank you very much for letting me know!

Awesome...keep up the good work, brother...

Some observations, brother.

1. Should the narration match the popup dialogs?
2. The instructions are telling me to use the "Right" button to keep rhythm, but the graphic appears to have the left button highlighted. (Once I get the section about the shield, the opposite happens)
   
3. I'm not clear on how to "keep rhythm" with the right button. Is the idea to watch for the circle highlighting the staff orb when praying, then press the right button as the circle collapses onto the orb of the staff?
4. Noticed that on the "Controls" menu, there are some images not showing correctly, seems like.
5. How do I recover "Faith"?

Hi Roboto
First of all, thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it ;)

I'll answer your questions.

The voices summarise the text that appears, but they are not identical so that they don't go on too long... but they say the same thing.

You're right, the voice says RIGHT but it's LEFT. Sorry for the mistake, I'll change it as soon as I can.

Regarding the rhythm, it is as you say: if you click on the outer circle, it is a hit, and if you click near the inner circle, it is a perfect.

The arrow icons are not displaying correctly. I will send you a screenshot.

Regarding faith... there are objects that purify... and Perfects give you faith.
Thanks!!

Hey brother, so I did get a little farther, but I got to a point where I couldn't do anything else to progress. I made it to the RED tree, but with no more FAITH and no way to increase it.

So I assume I just have to start the game over, right?

Hello Roboto

How did you lose faith so quickly? 
Perhaps the solution is for the character to gain faith instead of losing it little by little, so at least you can hope to regain faith...
But if that doesn't work, you'll just have to restart (press M).

Thanks again for testing it.
If you have any questions, let me know.

How did you lose faith so quickly? Haha!!!! Guess I'm not very good at the game yet.

I did make it to the second stage. So far the faith system works, just if it fails off completely before you reach a way to regain it, just have to restart.

Hello,

Sorry for not responding sooner, I've been busy with the end-of-year closing.

I need a few days to upload the demo with the first four complete phases.

I'll let you know when it's ready.

And keep chasing your dreams ;)

I understand, brother. I'm taking this last week of 2025 off from work mess. Gonna look at some platforms and try to start building something. Have no idea what that something will be, but gonna get started anyway.

Good luck with your project.

If you have any questions, feel free to share them and I will help you in any way I can.

I probably missed it somewhere in the description of the game, but which game engine are you using? Unity, Unreal, Godot, or something other one?

Hello Roboto,

I use Godot

for 2D games, and with no prior experience, I think it's the best option.

Best regards,

So I've seen a couple of things that might be something to check.

1. When I defeat an enemy, the particle's and health bar are still visible
2. There is a place where I stop to read, but the skeleton in the ground spawns right where I'm standing to hear the dialog and read the message

Also, for some reason, the key control examples in the menu screen and other places are not always showing. Just these placeholder images instead

Game still plays fine though, but sometimes there are there and other times not.

Hi Roboto

I will answer your questions.

1. That's how it's defined. While they're alive, the particles are red (guilt), but when they disappear, they're black.

2. Enemies never rest :)

It's set up this way so you don't get plowed over if there's an enemy nearby (you don't need to stop to read and hear the message).
The character errors are related to the HTML5 version. I recommend downloading the PC/MAC versions (they are identical) as they do not contain these errors.

Thanks for your contributions ;)

I've removed the health bar from objects and specters, both guilty ones and purifiers.

Good catch ;)
