The Shadow of Shadows
My submission for Mystery Game Jam April 2024.
You are Lilith, a young shadow that wants to become a light. You decide to go to the Sun Palace to ask the Sun Queen how light is made.
As you enter the Palace you find some little creatures named Photons, They are really playful and like to fly around as fast as they can. You play with them a little before proceeding to the Throne Room. There, the Sun Queen tells you that light uses Protons as carriers but their final fate is either to be killed by some object they hit or be consumed by the Iris King. Lilith cannot believe such a cruel fate awaits these happy creatures. Will you help her find a solution?

I like it so far, I think I'm hitting some bugs that make me start over. The first time after meeting the Light Queen, I used a mirror key item and it disappeared from my inventory forever after that. The second time, when I went back to the shadow area, the game went into a Loading... screen but nothing loads. I will try again soon.
I like the characters and their world. There seems to be an epic conclusion coming up that will change everything, and there seems to be a lot of history to the world as well. I'd be interested in seeing custom sprites for the main character. Some guidance in a few places to point the player to the right direction would help. The puzzles are fun, though!
Thank you so much! Bugs should be fixed, uploading right now. I also added some more hints! Again, thank you so much for trying it out! :)
Yeah it's fun! The puzzles weren't too hard, the confusion came while trying to figuring out what to do after meeting the queen of light. There didn't seem to be explanation about why I was going into the eyes of mortals rather than just speaking to them. Or how to pass into the iris, sorry I wasn't more specific before.
Awesome! I will fix that now, thanks so much for the feedback!
