Hi HN!

I’ve been building a 2D game using a custom engine I wrote from scratch – no Unity, no frameworks. It’s fully self-funded and will be released commercially on Steam.

Engine source code (MIT): http://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo

I’d love feedback on the gameplay, visuals, performance, or anything else. Thanks!

The art is neat, but I can't seem to get past the second screen, after exiting the bedroom. It's just black, a skull or something appears, and it says "They said that light is the path of the eye" and "Then darkness comes and erases such a pat" [sic]. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I have no clue how to progress (using Firefox on Linux).

Also the game begins with the phrase "I was born to disrespect", which in this case I guess means you don't use periods at the end of sentences, but, well, you should use periods at the end sentences.

I have added the periods, thank you!

I forgot to say, the game finishes at this point, we are working on more scenes.
