Turn around to the opposite direction to attck following enemies isn't easy.

I got killed by the flying corpse. He was too strong & fast than I thought.

But I really like the mood of this game!

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Seeing that you are not the only one who talked to me about a percieved difficulty on turning and attacking, I'm working on a little fix to smooth out this mechanic, so that when the attack key is pressed you can do a last minute turn in any direction. This should help to soften the controls :)

Great! Did you make all the graphic assets yourself? I really love it.. It reminds me 90s adventures...

I did all the sprites and many of the tiles and splash screens. Some assets are made by https://www.instagram.com/2dipixel/ , and others are just CC or public domain photos which where digitalized :)

The style I was working on was on a retro Game Boy Color look alike.

Getting to properly hit my opponent is rather hard as other people already pointed out.
The premise is simply great! As a fellow Italian who inhabited Lombardy for some years I can't but feel exhilarated by the mood of this game and the way you "bent" history to craft your lore!

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Combat is hard as a design choice, even after the tweaks I made. I wanted it to be more like a survival horror than an action game.

I'm glad you liked the setting and the story! It is based on the pen and paper RPG "Langobardia Horribilis", which you can find here => https://www.langobardiahorribilis.com/
