The art style is stunning, and the setting has incredible tension/atmosphere.

However, I struggled with the gameplay mechanics. The biggest issue for me was the lack of movement—items at the screen edges were impossible to collect.

Also, there seems to be a conflict between the fast-paced survival gameplay and the slow inventory management. Trying to read, delete, or synthesize items while dodging bullets felt overwhelming and made the controls feel clumsy. I also couldn't quite figure out the synthesis logic or how to unlock more grid slots.

That said, the idea of the out-of-game progression system looks promising. I look forward to seeing it fully implemented!

I did feel like I miss soemthing, although aesthetically this game was neat-- on that basis I won't rate it. I was not able to combine items as the description implied as far as I could tell? 

I loved the art style! I wasn't super sure what to do all the time, but it was fun to play. 

Really cool aesthetic, and honestly I'm amazed at the depth of the world and art style you were able to create within the time limit.

Really great art style! I love the cohesive cutscene images and UI assets that drive the feeling of the game. I think clearer in-game UI on where and how to combine items would really help. Maybe changing the outline color of specific assets as a tutorial to get players used to the mechanic.

Very cool art and music, gameplay could work a little more!

love the art and music, gameplay needs some work but otherwise great job!

Couldn't understand how to combine items, so could only get the bad ending. Great atmosphere and feel, enjoyed the art.

Cool art and premise!!
