Whew! Beat it! Fun Game! Thanks for building it!

I thought for sure I missed something because I couldn't find the last of the 4 relics.  After building a map and retracing every step multiple times just to be sure, I decided to level grind until I could beat everything (trying to avoid spoilers).  Once I got to a high enough level and beat all the things I got the final relic.  

I enjoyed the game.  It's a bit of a grind.  Maybe more options during combat would help give the player a greater feeling of control, but might also slow the pace of the game down. 

Map feels big and unpredictable. I loved that element of it.  Truly felt lost and having to explore and re-explore as I went.  A map system of some kind might be a good addition, but may detract from the feel of the game you're going for.  

Overall, good bare bones game.  Not hard per se, but requires a bit of a commitment to finish if that makes sense.  I'm glad I did!  Thanks again for making it.  I enjoyed playing.
