I think there's a small problem with the game. This is all I see whenever I launch it (Windows 10): explorer_2019-04-30_18-10-57.png I'd love to play this but I can't figure out how to resize it, so any help would be appreciated!
I coudn't find all the soul shards and it was difficult to move in front of the houses because of the colliders. Maybe the map is too big or not clear enough, you should use some elements to show where to go, like paved ways for example.

Nice little game. Movement is a bit slow for how big and empty the map is. Somehow I managed to miss Rakriel's stall at first by going right. Some paths to act as directional hints would be useful.

First thing I noticed were some tile issues when you move. Very nice gate animation, though :-)
Wow, what a nice screen-shake to the west.
This is a really well told story. Even though I kind of knew what was up when the first piece involving my brother came up, it is still a story that gets to me. You know something has happened to him and that you probably traded your soul for his life or something along those lines. Very good setting, the music only adds to the dark and mysterious mood. The start is very light-hearted with a hell secretary but then the real story unfolds. Very good job.
I love the programmer art, the graphics are really cool. I find it charming that - I guess due to time issues - Jessica has no run animation, yet turns around to four sides when you move. Really nice graphics!
Overall this is a very good game for an LD entry, I wonder why not more people have played it yet. You should continue rating others' games to get to your 20 ratings. You will definietly get some good ratings for this, I am very sure!
Great job, keep up the good work!

The game was great fun but it would randomly freeze and not respond at times and the audio had these weird pop sounds... maybe it was intentional?
@whynotyt Not at all intentional. Maybe it is about unity since I never heard of such bugs with none of my little games before.

yea sorry about that. it was a issue with my speakers.
This game is boring. Too story based.

I enjoyed this game. But I will say several problems I find.
1.the dialogs are great. But as a player, it can be tired and impatient to press the "space" bar to let them out cause there are too many dialogs. I suggest you use a better way to let player intercact with the NPC while using dialogs.
2.when I need to look round for soul pieces, I think it'd be better to tell me how many pieces there are in total.
3.I anticipate the following story. Go head!
