Info: Sadly we had a wide range of technical issues during the jam so we did run out of time. Related to that a big amount of content we have already created hasn't made it into the final game like mostly all collectable items, spells and the planed animal races🐴. But at least we have to show "something" and we have lerned a lot!

What are the controls? I tried playing it but couldn't interact with any of the things that looked like items or the enemies.

Had a bit of trubble figuring out that you need to click to attack.. The Trees and animated Falme looked realy nice.

I had a very hard time understanding what I should do and how to do it. It'd be great if the controls were shown somewhere so I could understand how to play. I liked the atmosphere of the game and how it progressed but without a clear goal or way to lose it quickly got confusing and dull.

I think some kind of tutorial would be really nice, since I couldn't figure out what to do... I figured out I attack by clicking, but nothing attacked me, jsut some princes were following me :D And then, there were some other characters, but they didn't do anything... And I couldn't figure out how to collect stuff, I think I tried pressing almost every key on my keyboard and mouse, but nothing worked...
The graphics and the mood on the other hand are nice :)

Thanks for the feedback so far, yes we was running out of time (as usual ^^), we will deploy a fix for some of the issues soon.

Same here. A little instruction on the start screen would help
