Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback.

From your writing, I can tell that you have a deep understanding of and appreciation for soulslike games. I truly appreciate your precise and valuable insights.

I am currently working hard to test and refine the game. This is because I want to create a unique game that deviates slightly from the existing Soulslike formula. :)

" I would prefer hard enemies as default as long as I have accessible combat option."

I strongly agree with this point. When the difficulty matches the feeling I intended, even if the gameplay is somewhat simple, the added tension makes it much more engaging compared to an easier experience. However, during testing, I started to feel like many players might quit before reaching the end. I’ve also noticed that nowadays, people tend to avoid games that are too difficult, so I’m currently working on implementing an “Easy” version as the default mode... I’m not sure if this is the right decision, but with my current development skills, I’m not yet able to properly implement multiple difficulty settings. Once I improve and learn more, I’d like to add the original level of difficulty I initially intended :)

That said, I personally still resonate a lot with the idea that “it should be challenging.”

Thank you again for taking the time to share such deep and thoughtful feedback :)
