Nice game! Fun puzzles with clear instructions and slowly increasing difficulty. Demo is fairly ok length and make you want to come back for more.
Good Job!

Thanks for the comment!
I've made some adjustments to the combat for the post jam release, but it actually makes it more fluent and easier. I also increased the power of the powerups to slice through stuff faster. I think my intention for the combat was more to make it an enjoyful experience rather than tough.
I did also open up the path to the altar so its the first thing the player see when exiting the room. I have not added any better map though, and I'm not sure I want to. Have to think some more about that. I did make it so the minerals you pick up are collected and fills up a meter, which when full makes one crystal visible through the walls as a new feature. This will make sure the player does not have to play forever to find them and complete the game.
The game consists of four main areas which is not that much different, these are now made in to distinguishable biomes which I hope will make it more interesting to play. I'm not sure the game is more fun to play, but its funny how organic the game dev process is. Some changes you make into the project is easy to reject and remove, and some of them becomes like concrete and becomes like a foundation that defines it.
Thanks again for the nice comment!
Yeah I locked the door at 18:14 and went back. Was stuck in the circle loop.
There is no end, it just loops round and round. I think you are thinking of another hidden door/wall. I have run around 5 loops checking all walls.
Well, it was not saved after reloading browser, but during one play.
Got lost after a while. I think I locked myself into the long surrounding corridor by interacting with a switch and going inside.
Yeah, that seems to work without issues.
EDIT: Save and Load seems to work in webbuild as well. Was the first thing I tried.... :)
Found another bug. If you click the weapon to fight an enemy but has a dead sailor interactable behind it will activate him and that UI.
Thanks for playing and liking the game!
In post jam version combat has been made more fluent and easier to move without colliding with enemies and easier to hit them. Enemy skeleton animations have been made a bit slower with more visuals showing them starting to hit player as well as getting staggered by player hitting them.
Thanks for the comment.
I did not make it procedural generated this year. I think that is a bit overrated and hard to get right. So I think I will only go for that for games that need more variety and many playthroughs of same level, Which should only be a certain types of games.
I take your input on the speech into consideration. I do like how it turned out, and I have had comments about people that liked it. There were some other games in the jam that use voice acting with various results and I think it can work. The genre might be coming from the retro world, but far from all games in this category fits into the retro genre I think.
I've started to work on the post jam update and the collecting of minerals now fills up a bar that eventually unlocks the ability to find the crystals through the walls.
Thanks for playing!
I got a "Radeon Vega 56" and run 4 screens with it.
Yeah, no luck there. I have played all games in the jam now. One game I had to restart because it was black, but then it worked. Your game sadly nothing seems to work.
Game looks great, but was very buggy. Enemies kept dying over and over and even hit me after dying a few times. The level seemed to unload so I could walk into areas that were totally black, and then they re-appeared. One enmy ended up in a loop where he was walking towards me but I could not attack him and not enter that square so had to take another way forward.
Nice experience. The main game could have been a bit longer. The parts that were done was nice but mostly in graphical terms which are exceptional. Lots of special effects and nice cinematics.
It was nice with objectives which helped in knowing what to do next. Lockpicking mechanics also a nice addon.
Spamming on the space bar was an unusual mechanic which was interesting.
It would be nice to get to a pause screen or main menu with esc. Had to Alt+f4 myself out for the game.
The game also has a nice new take on flying down the stairs.
Game is kinda lacking in combat, but is still a nice experience!
Well done!

Nice little game!
I got off the grid after a while, so I walked around halfway into the walls. Combat was a bit slow and it was a lot of just waiting for it to resolve. The game has several promising touches. I like the pistol and knife variations, and the floor puzzle in the beginning. More of those and some more decorations and we got something really good!
Nice entry! It sure have a good feeling to it. Welcoming and warm, like you want to be a part of it.
I liked that the replay ability does not force you to read all logs again. Not sure how many endings there were but I got 2 of them. Not much combat but lots of other stuff. Graphics is awesome and UI is simple enough. There is so few items used so it could have just been visible all the time instead. Sound is engulfing and spooky. I like it. The run through icky corridor so your heart don't blow up was a neat touch. And you did not over do it. The game could have been a bit larger and had some more objectives maybe, but over all very nice!
I saved her! Yay!
his game had some different combat, and it totally works. It takes a while to understand it but once you do it is a nice type of combat. It is some skill based but mostly timing. It got a lot easier once you get a health regen gem. Lot of things looks AI generated but it works. I liked the different biomes you go through, it gives some variety to the gameplay. The enemies are a bit to alike though, would like to have some difference in tactics for them. Into is almost overworked :) There was some bug where holding the space bar to change level opened up the inventory instead.
Changing the settings in the menu does only change the volume in the menu that instance, when going into the main game it is reset and when returning to the menu also. Worst part might be the How To Play screen, needs some love to get up to same standard as the rest of the game!
Very well done!

Interesting "take". The story leads up to the game in a nice way. However I don't think it really incorporated the dungeon in a deep way. Would be nice if the action in the dungeon was more closely related to an actual scenery than a normal dungeon combat. Anyway, graphics looks nice and it was kinda fun to play. I do think the combat was a bit to hard though or un-ballanced. Used up all my health items but still died.
I liked the characters portraits, they feel nice. Movement felt a bit unresponsive time to time, think its because a fast tap on a direction does not trigger a movement. Combat was a bit slow imo I think the waiting time between attacks takes to long and rendering the player unable to do anything and just wait.
The reset of the game to the beginning was a nice touch, bit it also meant you had to do same stuff over and.
Anyway, it is a decent game and submission!
