The panic is real haha this game is def a step up from the short game 'Woven Shadows'. Maybe that's because this game feels completed from beginning to end, and the latter was just an early access. That makes me curious if WS has an update . I love the spookiness of the environment, and the soundscape def compliments that! Awesome intro in the beginning of the game as well. That set it off for me as soon as I started! Looking forward to more chapters!

Great work!

nice screenshots

Gave it a go, could use more monsters? Less repetition. Collect gold coins, then more gold coins, small tiny area opens up but you have to collect coins in the same area just put in different spots in the same area while many other gated-off areas remain closed the entire time for other chapters? It makes for 1-2 hours to be isolated in one closed off circular-region to collect gold coins while avoiding a monster that, isn't scary but semi-cute for people who like lizards - and isn't too big of a threat to delay the time of completion.

Thanks for your input! Always love the critiques you give us and we'll take all of this into consideration as we fix up Chapter 1 and work on Chapter 2!! The last dream was actually a bug that got missed :( it's not supposed to let you back in haha. We plan on adding plenty more monsters of different varieties and we can break up the monotony of the coin collecting in the next build thanks to your input! Again, always appreciate your playthroughs!

Any demo version for testing?

We're looking into adding a demo of sorts!

Nice to hear that :)
