How did you choose to implement the Theme: Witching Hour in your game?
In my game, the “Witching Hour” theme is represented through the Hexennacht, an ancient and terrifying night during which a witch comes to the region to abduct innocent people for a dark ritual sacrifice.
The entire adventure takes place during this tragic night, while the protagonist races against time to gather magical ingredients and stop the ritual before dawn.
The final confrontation takes place at an ancient dolmen known as the Cairn of Kings.

I found the graphics and the story charming and I like the metroidvania elements for gathering items and magic for the final encounter.
I felt that issues I had were that the firing mechanics were off-center when facing up and down, which made combat encounters in those situations difficult because I would attack just to the left of the enemy instead of hitting the enemy from the center.
The biggest problem was that the maps keep resetting. Each time you leave a map and come back, all dialogue, all items, including important items and the barriers reset. Which can prevent the player from progressing. I ended up skipping the well map and just grabbing the earth spell which already spawned to progress.
I think a tighter version of this game will work well. I would enjoy a game about a little girl adventuring with her mother as she learns to take her role as the towns healer. I'm excited to see a continuation of the story if there is one.
Cheers!
Thank's a lot for your return.
Seems I forgot to manage these things. I will work on it to avoid these and to upgrade the game. I think I will add new levels that I imagined, but I didn't add before the submission time ended.
bugs fixed. Please enjoy your travel in country of Verdamntstadt :)
I just discover a bug at the beginning of the game. Please, I'll fix it when I go back home. Many apalogizes for the annoyance I didn't see before submit.
