I really, really enjoyed this demo. You nailed the aesthetic -- the itty bit graphics, unnerving sound effects, and the dirge looping in the background all hit me straight in the nostalgia. The atmosphere was tense (I shrieked the first time the ghost threatened me) and it was satisfying to streamline and retry my runs until I found the best ending. I would absolutely buy a full-length game. 👍

Positive: I love the concept and visual direction of the game.

Improvements:  Cannot beat this game, or even move beyond just collecting the first orb. Even with going ham on the huts and farms (I can fit four) I can't produce enough warriors to reclaim overtaken spaces. Soldiers tend to ignore the closest Purants and choose less concerning targets. I'm going crazy trying to make it work.

Lost a dear friend last year. I'm terrified I'll soon forget the sound of her voice.
