I really, really liked it—especially the story!
Just came here from your comment, and you were right! Loved this idea and the music really sets the tone for the game, very atmospheric, well done!
The music and art was great. I also liked that you went for a story based game. Very ambitious!
I would have liked the levels to be a bit shorter to make the story and the interesting sacrificing of skill system to take a bigger part of the game.
Good job!
Thanks for playing our game. If we end up fleshing this game into a proper game, we will definitely make the losing skills part more gradual and impactful and put more effort into the story of the main character.
What a great entry! The music and art were both really well done and the gameplay was also very unique! I like how it's kind of a reverse roguelike where you have to lose your skills as you go on, it's both challenging and also very impactful on the story (which is also great)! Very well done!
Thanks for taking the time to try it! Haha yeah we tried an interesting concept that didn't turn out so well (since I realised that people just enjoy getting stronger over time).
idk if it was supposed to be emotional but i had fun
