good game look good for a game did in 3 days, good sound design, the map is giant it's very cool, system of dialogue is good, continue like this to do what you love.

This has so much going on for a jam game, an inventory and quest system a pretty big world to run around in and multiple enemy types. Super impressed. But it wasn't very clear when I was attacking or what was getting hit when I attacked.

I don't know... It's hard to control a character because the camera always goes away, it's not locked and I can't see straight. So when I try to walk forward, character goes anywhere but not forward...

Nice game, but it could be more fresh if add some innovation to don't look like game from old times. Good luck!

Really impressive amount of content here! Surprised how big the world was and how much you could interact with, as well as the leveling system. Only problem is that the combat is a bit buggy, but still manageable.

The map is large, which is impressive for a jam game!
But personally I would have liked it to be smaller but a little more polish (it takes time to go from point A to point B). Otherwise great job, well done to you!

This has a great action RPG feel to it (and some of the most dangerous rats I've ever encountered in a game) and surprisingly rich content. I think the most important thing to improve would be the controls, especially when picking up stuff and in combat. It was quite hard to figure out the right moment to push the attack key in order to not be hit by the enemy. For single enemies it mostly worked out well and I got the key in the cavern, but the bandits on the road were too much for me.

I have enjoyed the moment when you first explore the world which is quite big :) The feedback from the fight could be more apparent. Also if there would be some blocking system the fight loop would be more pleasant. But its a game alright!

Great scale game. Can't imagine how long did developers slept for three days. But need more systems like various enemies, more patterns of boss, more swords and magics.

And first of all, don't let player can just steal and run away with those keys.

@nshbae wizard security was really lacking in the portal rooms. they didn't have a good budget!

Four people in 3 days, and you made pretty good RPG game :D Some kind of minimap or arrow will be great.

It not reminde me much of the theme. Really ?! That game is really fun, good job. I like atmosphere of this game. Good art design, maybe next time will be better, but in that scope I think it is still very good. Overall I think this game is good, and I think, next time you will create as good game as this is, or maybe better, so good job.

One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will aperceite very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)

map is large and shows promise, i got the firt key in the cave but then i kept getting overrun when entering the next section were all the bandits would accumulate at the entrance and i'd immediatly go back to spawn

Very ambitious game with a detailed world the aim sensitivity made it a bit hard to control but it was fun to explore the cave.

It looks like a good indie RPG, but I do not understand the idea. Maybe I didn't get to the right point, but what is the theme of the jam?
