I don't know how big the map is, but it felt huuuuuge... I died (ironically) the first time, but I was able to collect 30something souls afterward~\nThe idea of being possessed or immobilized for collecting more souls was cool!  I'm unsure if there were other debuffs besides those two, but it was cool~  \nReally great job :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Amir Bayareh","author_uid":"1000616","time":"2017-12-05T05:44:20Z","epoch":1512452660,"modified":1512452660,"text":"I was looking for something eerie and your game has it.

I didn't feel like the game wanted me to keep playing it, there was nothing to expect by completing the game.\n\nThe artwork was nice but I think a 16-bit or 8-bit style would fit the game better considering its simple mechanics.

The game made me panic at times when the spirits would start fighting and wanting to go jump off a ledge, so that interaction was real fun for me.\n\nI do wish the game was a little zoomed out. Because of the camera being so close, it tend to jump side to side rapidly and trigger my motion sickness a little. I also felt the neon fluorescent lights were a little out of place considering it's a dark gloomy dungeon.

Surprised to see a door animation but no movement animation from the character. Also with such beautiful composition I was surprised there were no sound effects as well.
