A nice little roguelike-esque adventure game. The stamina mechanic didn't seem to add much, since enemies didn't move or attack when you rested. It just forced you to stop and press R a lot. Also, the screen centering needs to adjust when you have claustophobia, otherwise you can't see where you are going. A stylish entry overall. Nice work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":739280,"author_name":"enderswype","author_uid":"enderswype","epoch":1633526159,"text":"either i'm dumb or you have to guess the controls yourself xD managed to finish the game tho ahah :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":739283,"author_name":"swiney","author_uid":"swiney","epoch":1633526176,"text":"Quite a different game and a nice take on the theme.

Replaying it, I love the variety in the effects of the ailments, how some of them change aesthetic elements and others actively affect gameplay. With a procedural element to the levels and more engaging enemy design, this could actually be quite a fun little coffee break roguelike.
