I love the way the light and shadows look! The sound design kinda reminds me of Animal well (which is a good thing). The text boxes are an aspect that could be improved in my opinion. First of all, they can block your view so you can't see where you're jumping to(this happened to me.). Maybe the textboxes could be semitransparent using dithering so you can still see the level? Also, I stopped reading a lot of the text because you are constantly under a time limit, which is a shame since I liked the writing quite a bit. The controls feel good, and the platforming, while simple, is a lot of fun!

Thank you for such a nice review! Making text boxes semitransparent using dithering is actually a great idea, might add that in the next update! The initial idea was that you kinda had to fail on your quest while learning the lore, but the new knowledge wold help you to move forward. But the story is optional in the final version for now :P
