Interesting game, nice lore and platforming. Good work! Did had some issues where when i got captured, I couldn't skip the message scene and continue playing no matter what key I pressed, having to restart the game a couple of times.
Thank you!
Awesome vibe, enjoyable mechanics, and a nice bit of challenge. Easy to get hooked.
Thank you!
Really cool theming! I loved the visuals, the environment, and the narration. Good work!
Thank you!
This game was right up my street. The Egyptian setting and the Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider vibe was very cool. They Shadow mechanic is fabulous. I've never seen that in a game before. Cool, puzzling and booby traps. A real atmosphere to this game. Lack of a reset or menu at present but I was happy to force quit and load the game again because it was really fun and I wanted to explore other areas. If this were developed into a full game, I would totally buy it. Thanks for making the game.
Bug report:
Speaking to Anubis. C button does not close the chat box and return to game. It was stuck.
Visiting the scales after collecting the heart, the chat box didn't close as well
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and your feedback means a lot. I really appreciate the detailed bug report, too. I'll definitely look into these after the jam. :)
Great atmosphere and sound design! I really liked the opening escape and the Shadow Walk mechanic. I got a bit stuck because I wasn't sure how to talk to Osiris, and after getting caught the game didn't seem to reset, but the core idea is really cool. Nice work!
Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, do you remember which area you got stuck at?
Sure! After I escaped the starting cell, I reached the area with Osiris, but I couldn't figure out how to interact with him. I then walked toward the open gate/door, got caught by an enemy, and after that the level didn't reset—I was still in the game instead of respawning back in the starting cell. Hope that helps!
Very nice I like the theme and gameplay, good job!
Thank you!
