You cannot die until you've found your brother.

Great game overall, I had a great time playing it :) One question though... -- Spoiler allert --- Why are we ringing these bells in 4 towers? I figured that you don't need to do it to pass game (actually it is enough to go straight fight Bell and then go to his room; it is possible and after learning his patterns I am comfortable to beat him multiple times without extra items). I would love to see some extra hidden ending, but after searching a while i could not find any :(
Fun little game, liked it more than I thought I would. So much so that I proceeded to spend another hour after getting the ending trying to see if there was something that I missed and possibly a different ending. There were certainly things that I missed, like puzzle solutions I had just correctly guessed before (like the east wing bell tower, also I am not quite sure what the bell towers are for, since I just beat the game without activating them all) and the lunar charms and the double damage boost. Those would have been very nice to have as I just beat the game without any of those (except the first lunar charm you get by defeating the first guard in the beginning og the game). The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is the treasure chest, so I will continue to try.
Edit: I had to download the guide to figure that one out, but atleast now I also know what the bell towers are for. Would have made my life easier as well if I’d known that lol
Gameplay and a touch (touche? :P ) of critique ;)
The only bad thing about this is that it ends.
Absolute banger
great game
I don't know if there is multiple endings but this was a lovely game, i really appreciated the option to lessen the difficulty if needed! Props to the creator!!
This was so good! The fencing was hard to pick up but got really fun after learning it! Excited to see what you do next!
nah i think you just suck
the text gives clues about what the enemy's going to do
also if you don't advance, I think it gives you a chance to change your action
(or maybe it's if you have advantage?)
(also don't forget the enemy can also change their action in response to you, so use that wisely)
its based offa advantage
Awesome game. Sad I couldn't put down my sword to deal with the red spirit
Hi! I don't know how well I can put into words how thrilled I was, seeing that you made another game, but I am!! It's a pretty solemn one, from my perspective, but I really like it... It's an interesting change seeing the story told mainly from the environment than from like characters! Wondering what caused the ruins to happen, wondering where our brother is... Needless to say, I enjoyed it! The combat was pretty fun too, though I did find it tricky to get the hang of! I only realized after checking the walkthrough after I beat the game I could've made it lots easier for myself haha.
Thanks for the game! :)
This might be one of my favorite games of all time
Can't wait!
Oh this is so hype
Woah this looks cool as hell, looking forward to it.
