• With the time I spent playing, I found the controls to be easy to follow. I also found the way the sound effects were used for the environment to help accent the kind of story that was being told as well. In regards to the way the themes were used, I could only grasp how shadow was implemented here, due to the obvious use of shadow to traverse and platform around. I found how this was used to be quite unique. Though, for alchemy, I struggled to comprehend where this fit into the overall game or gameplay. I will say that the art for the character and environment were done quite well, too. The audio for the game (sound effects) were also done nicely; from the eerie feeling when you finally entered the forest area, and even the sounds of rain in the beginning part of the game. Overall, I think you did a nice job putting everything together, though I would like to see the themes expanded upon a bit more with the story that you were trying to tell. Do keep up the good work, all the same.
• GDD The GDD seems good. I like how it has an brainstorming section. Good idea with having the GDD as development timeline, but GDD is also about talking about art design, game mechanics design. Think of this way, it is like an elevator pitch. It has to be fast and impressive to sell the idea while keep transparency of ya work. Game The game feels good. interesting mechanics with the shadow, but I think the jump button may be improved by using space button than shadow button. Perhaps remapping implementation would do wonder for those with disabilities? Or pick up torches so ya cant hide in shadow while holding light? That being said, I dont feel much alchemy-ish theme from this than text that said the person who drink the potion...
