sacrificed a lovely 1.5h and got my own urja (irl🤫hehe puzzles and combat are just the socalled ~gameplay~ woven into their breathtaking pixel art Luckily its simple enough that it doesnt distract me from the art hhh NICE

Pixel art with lots of southeast Asian-style temples.

If you exit to the main menu during the final boss fight and then select "Continue," the game gets stuck on a black loading screen indefinitely. I tried pressing Esc and moving the mouse around; I could hear the sound effects triggered by hovering over menu options, but the screen remained black, showing only the character running in the bottom-right corner.

A lovely, short, free game. The artwork is beautiful, and the mechanics were fun and unique. The story left a lot to player imagination, which worked out pretty well I think. You get to kind of come up with your own ideas about who you're playing as, even though the game is over in about 45 minutes. My two complaints: One, the walk speed is pretty slow. That wouldn't have been a main complaint, however, except for Two, the final "event" bugged out on me where the creatures stopped moving in a location where I couldn't attack them. Reloading the game resulted in an infinite black screen, so I had to start over and do the entire thing a second time. I was going to already play it a second time to see if there was a second ending, but after that situation, I am uninterested in a third playthrough. BUT don't let that discourage you. It's definitely worth at least one playthrough, and quite possibly two.

What a beautiful game! The character designs and landscapes are so colorful and stunning. I enjoyed the unique mechanics featured in the mantras, and the temple was challenging without being over-the-top. Overall, a delightful way to spend an hour of free time.
