Very complete and polished for a game made in 2 weeks! A tutorial seems like it would have been useful. I like the face-building mechanic. The music and art was excellent!

- First impression started off with fantastic music. I spent a bit just vibing out at the main menu. The UI layout is very intuitive. It was easy to understand how combat was going to work and what the different rolls would accomplish. The mouse-over tooltips are a great way to ensure the player always knows what's going on with the different enemy types. The drag-and-drop of the shop abilities worked really well, I didn't encounter any issues swapping any of the abilities. Swapping between languages was a similarly seamless experience. I did encounter an issue when actually using the 'confusion' power. After using confusion, the game would end up hard locked as though the game was waiting to apply the confusion but didn't actually finish. Meant the enemies didn't take their turn and I couldn't roll for the next turn. I was able to use the ability a couple of times, but it also froze a couple times. Good choice on the rest of the abilities, good variety to mix up each run. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it all the way to the end in the play time I had, so I can't speak to any boss mechanics, but the setup for one is well done. The paths through the overworld were balanced and all paths felt fair. There's a lot of room in the story and the design for additional levels as the player tries to rescue all the villagers. Really great job!
