Double post! Sighhhh

"The only good thing is that you may find healing items here and there, and even a shop in one level, but with outrageous prices, considering that money is scarce, normal enemies do not give you gold and even if they did you cannot grind!"

Actually you can grind gold in this game since you can replay through the various maps to grind gold by defeating the bosses multiple times. The problem with this is you have to defeat all of the regular enemies again as well which means it takes way longer then it should to earn 70 gold pieces.

So while grinding is possible. It's not particularly practical.

Yes, you are right of course I meant to grind in the sense of doing that inside the same level. Technically money is shared among characters because in the end the player is always Seth...

" And yes, there are no levels no upgrades, no equipment, nothing... it's unfortunately so sad and bad!"

That isn't entirely true. You can purchase HP upgrades from the one shop in the game, but there so expensive for what they do that they aren't worth buying.

Uhm I missed that anyway it's more like a sort of consumables with permanent effect. I was hoping of some upgraded found or gained through playing.

"Especially in the ship it's possible to be locked between various combatants, meaning defeat, and with the presence of rare save points (that are just use to save and they do not heal the characters of a single hitpoint) means that the player will surely hate those parts!"

My best advice on the ship is to try and take advantage of the narrow passage ways so your always engaging enemies in one on one fights in those areas. And while save points don't heal you on the ship. You can sleep in the bed to restore your health after you clear out the enemies in that room. And you can backtrack to it afterwards to heal multiple times if you need it. Albeit you need to finish off every enemy in a room before you can do that backtracking.

In fact, I'd say abusing the bed mechanic is pretty much a necessity to get through the third mission.

The funny thing is that this is never explained or highlighted. The use of the bed, I mean, and if you see the saves included in the game it looks like that even those who recorded them weren't aware since the character is really low on health.
I remember using that in the third mission, but there is more evident and clear.

Anyway I saw that the best tactic is waiting for the enemy to arrive and hit him, then when he comes back hit him again. Often works well, but not always.

And I'm not sure if you played through the final mission or not. This review doesn't give me enough information to figure that out. Though, I suppose the ending upon finishing that mission makes the game feel entirely pointless since were told our actions won't ultimately change the result of the war in any meaningful way.

Yes, I finished it. Well I did not want to spoil the ending since I never touch this issue (spoilers!) and it is also a bit of a downer, even if ultimately this is a demo, but yeah a demo that is considered more or less complete.

Wait, why there is no download here! :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I really enjoyed reading it and your criticism was very fair and helpful and I appreciate the nice words so much. It means the world to me that people play my games and find something positive in them, so this was quite touching. c:

I sincerely liked this game anyway I did not want to spoil what happens, for obvious reasons! I was constantly surprised.

By the way, the 1bit faces are not based on real people, it is just very easy to make things look "real" with the low 1bit resolution and the style I used lol, but I'm very happy to hear it looks convincing. Only the room shots were made with photo references.

Really? I was totally fooled, I believe these were edited/downgraded.
The two "look into the eyes" parts were really unnerving by the way. Heh.

Hey! thanks for the reply... yeah this game was pretty cool, good concept and idea! I loved combat, but also the story was really captivating.
