The objective of the game is to solve puzzles by catching souls that try to escape from The Underworld to another dimension through various portals. Catching some of the souls will grant you temporary bonuses that will help you with hunting the other ones before they escape

Hello there, this little puzzle game as a nice vibe et some cool level. There's **ideas** and it looks **really good** (I don't know if you made the models and animations yourself but in anycase it's great).

Great work, rest well and good luck for the futur !

This game is really good, puzzles are cool and the main mechanics works well. All the animations are gorgeous and the game looks sick ! Very good job!

Great atmoshpere and visuals, and the puzzles feel like there was some thought behind them, which is kinda hard. Great effort

The game looks very moody. I love the atmosphere. The puzzle is built around the theme and still remains unique. Aside from a bit of polish and qol here and there this is an amazing submission!
