Triumph of balanced gameplay over fancy animation. I love a good survival game. But there's more; the northern area is tough in new ways. It feels a little too hard, but intentionally so.

This is a amazing game for 36 hours, though it would be nice if the tutorial was in the game rather than in the post

Developer

I totally agree 110%! I really wanted to add a tutorial. I put a really slow ghost at the start and a healing fire to help players get the hang of things.

Nice graphics, but I am wondering what to do. I didnt know where to go.

Developer(+1)

There is a lot of info in comments and the game page.

You need to head north (up) and you will find the game boss. <3

Excellent game, but without the comment section, i couldn't have found the goal, because i headed south...

Maybe you should make something to make the direction to take more obvious, like maybe some walls preventing you from going in your wrong direction, a panel, or even some talk from the character...

Despite that, this a great and very original work ! Loved the idea !

Liked the Idea! With the mirror it felt really spooky. But I couldn't hit the ghost. Idk if i did something wrong.

The ghost is not where it is positioned in the mirror world. It is positioned in the real world, relatively to you, at the same position the mirror ghost is positioned relative to the mirrored player.

So if this is what you see

   MIRROR   
     
         G
     P
------------
     P
        (G`)
     
    REAL
 M     |     
 I   G |(G`) R
 R     |     E
 R   P | P   A
 O     |     L
 R     |    

You’ll need to hit the invisible ghost in the real world. Where P is the player and G is the Ghost. Of course, you can’t actually see (G`). You can estimate it’s position based on G.

Ahhh! Got it thanks! so its behaving like a real mirror ok :D

The art style is really cool but tbh I'm a little confused with the gameplay... I went north but just kept dying because I couldn't get enough warmth from  the campfire

Developer (1 edit)

Did you use the mirror (hold space) to detect ghosts and destroy them? They drop spirit flames that give warmth.

They will quickly drain your warmth if they aren’t defeated.

When you see a ghost in the cursed mirror, that's a reflection! Meaning, the ghost is being reflected. It's position in the real world is relative to the real you, the same way the reflected ghost is positioned relative to your reflection. Hope that made sense (you can't attack the reflection). Hint

Ohhh, I see, I got it now, so that's where the flames where dropping from

I like the mirror and reverse vampire concept. 
I only saw one enemy tho, maybe I did something wrong and would be nice to have say a clear end goal in mind

Developer (2 edits)

The goal is to complete the level and defeat the boss. :) There are more enemies.

spoiler Head north and make sure to check the mirror.

Would you mind checking it again?
