The game is amazingly polished for 72 hours. I especially liked the more slow paced combat system.

It's fun, good mechanical and very good graphics, the combat is quite difficult and even the atmosphere is terrifying

Fantastic atmosphere! The combat seems a little too tricky, but I guess it probably just takes a while to get used to. The audio and graphics are the best part, they really help to create a really good mood.

A very impressive quantity and quality of content for a 3 day game. I got lost a lot though and really didn't care for the combat, since even the spiders take like five hits (or roughly a minute).

Then I discovered that you can just walk slowly around enemies, and finished the game with 100% health and six enemies trailing me. Sort of a game breaker, but I'm super glad I didn't have to spend ten minutes slowly whacking and backing away. Also I don't really see how the theme applies.

Low marks for fun, super high marks for content.

Very solid Jam Entry, nice, almost "Oblivion" visuals. You, people, must publish it on Steam or Desura, no jokes. It's awesome game, mood deserve more than 5 stars.

Impressive! There were many areas of polish that I'd never expect from a jam game! Those creatures spooked me haha.
