Pretty cool, I liked the art, the atmosphere and the audio.  Got a little tired of running around in the dark trying to find stuff. The little touches like the comments when running and swinging the weapon was nice.

First of all, thanks a lot for making a Linux build, and sorry I gave you extra work!

You can tell that a lot of work went into the art direction. The atmosphere is creepy, heavy, and uneasing. The colour palette enhances this perfectly, as well as the sound design, even though I felt the music was maybe a bit too “action oriented”. The lighting in the first level (outside) really gave that “bloody eclipse” vibe. If you do continue the game, I hope there’ll be more time in exterior!

The combat was reactive and I never got hurt because of the controls or the camera. It was quite simple but polished. Even though the attacks were limited, the fights were not boring, thanks to a good moveset including the dash and the sprinting, that gave a tactical aspect about how to approach combat.

There is a lot of lore to find here and there to understand better what’s going on in the story, and it’s a good way to let the player discover it gradually and as a reward, instead of info dumping the story. The notes were interesting and well written, and added a lot to the immersion.

The Doom 3 style mechanic of picking between a light and a weapon in the castle was a nice touch, that I haven’t seen in a while =)

As suggestions for improvements:

• the last boss arena looked super cool, it might be worth adding a bit of light in it, to be able to enjoy it more.
• the thoughts/dialogues of the character are a big too big, in terms of font size and vertical space, and are sometimes distracting. I would either reduce them and put them on a clear color background, or simply in a dialogue frame at the bottom of the screen.

Nice game, the level design and models are great, thought I think there is some room for improved with the controls, my first impulse was trying to move with point and click (like Diablo) as the game reminds me that, I think that kind of controls fits better for the game, but it can also be a personal preference (configurable maybe?). The only negative thing (personally) is the usage of GenAI, I don’t support it, even for code.

I liked the game, it was fun also remembers me Diablo 1, good job. One thing that I dint liked was the controls and I have to say that personally I don't like any kind of GenIA in video games, thanks to mentioned in the submission.

Really liked this one, extremely intrigued by the screenshots, although not really resembling the actual gameplay - given me the vibe of those old school games, doing exactly the same - screenshots kinda showing more there is, which fires up the imagnation nicely!

Would love some low-end pc mode or something, I was running it on a laptop, and needed to use some Windows based trickery to play it in lower resolution, to actually be able to play. Liked the writing, some of it very gruesome, but I would cut on the protagonist yapping, or at least place the text UI somewhere else, as it was obstructing a lot of stuff in the gameplay portion, being directly in the center.

Awesome work on the assets, and the overall difficulty and checkpoint handling was amazing, really nice I wasn't forced to repeat same moments all over again if dead, kinda got cheesy with the bosses, but in the end, the constant flow of things, was worth it (we all now, we sometimes don't have a lot of patience, thinking about how many games there are ahead of us playing on itch).

Level design wise, it flowed nicely, made it right to the end easily. Very nice introduction, and the switch to darkness with the light, was an amazing thing, made a nice moment. I would personally, light up boss spaces more, just to make them more readable, and add variety as well. Also basic gate introduction, before you find the key, was not always on point, but that's just total nitpicking, and a totally minor thing for a jam game. The game was just short and sweet enough, to not overstay it's welcome.

Very on point with the theme, and even the sub-theme was nicely addressed. Would love, the light special ability to regen faster, to give variety in combat.

Yeah, overall an amazing experience ! 🫀🫀🫀

I really enjoyed it! Although the combat could use a bit more impact, the boss fights are well-executed. Throughout my entire playthrough, I never once had to spend 20 minutes wandering around locations just to find a key, which was a nice touch.

It looks really cool, unfortunately it seems it doesn’t run in on Linux, even through Proton, so I won’t be able to play it or rate it :/ If you’ll consider making a Linux build please let me know!

Sometimes the game doesn't recognize left clicks
