It's a top-down horror game that's about 2 hours long. It takes place in the ancient ruins of Boatmurdered.

Please let me know what you think!
Welp, just finished this. It was pretty frickin' terrifying 0_o Music and sound effects were excellent, pacing and atmosphere were spot-on. What really got me though was
the child's death. It was wrenching.
Oh my god, run! RUN!!! ..Sweet Armok, why?! He was just a wee bairn! He dinnae stand a chance! What'd he ever do tae deserve that?! ;_;
More than worth the playthrough! Thanks to you and your team for making this, Eldiran!
Just finished it, those boss fights were awesome, and the atmosphere was great. I would've liked to see more of was
the kid. Even just a short chat with him. If he was explained somewhere, I missed it.
Also, is it normal that certain enemies rarely aggro you?
Where do you find the key for the locked door where the worm boss chase you? Am I supposed to have a key?

There is a path South of the door. To the right of where my character is. Easy to miss while being chased, but it is there. It's those two gray tiles.
I especially liked the first follower monster that just appeared out of nowhere. Freaked me out and nearly got me killed right there.
Also, I actually tried shooting the kid when he first started following me. I figured that since this is a horror game he was some sort of monster. Kinda felt guilty after he got roasted. And betrayed by the fire which had been so helpful before.
the kid. Even just a short chat with him. If he was explained somewhere, I missed it.
I'm pretty sure the kid was a hallucination of some sort. A memory of the protagonist's son, who burned in his sleep after the protagonist accidentally set the house on fire.
In fact, I'm pretty sure most of it was a big hallucination on the protagonist's part, literally fighting his demons. That's why the spirit of fire looks like a palette swap, and why all the dwarves with crossbows in the second-to-last segment are mirroring his movements. It's also why fire destroying everthing and being a main enemy kept happening; the protagonist viewed it as an enemy because it got out of control and burned down his house.
...Or I could just be reading way too heavily into it, and he really just exorcised a ghostfiredemonmonsterrawr. All I know for sure is that the whole thing could have been avoided if the protagonist had just raised his fires with a firm sense of rules and boundaries.

Oh, believe me, I tried to play Dwarf Fortress. I really respect it, but I eventually found making my own game was easier than properly learning to play : P
I hope you don't if I sig this.
