The Hand of Truth
CAUTION: May take a while to load, it's loading in the background the game will show up!
Known bugs:
The last area with the boss is really buggy, I had to rush programming this the last couple of hours. If you made it to the boss and got stuck this is the ending:
Story Blip
In a world where an insidious curse known as the Hand of Truth is spreading, twisting minds and corrupting bodies, Kayn, a young monk, discovers he has the rare gift to see and combat this evil. As darkness encroaches on his village and hidden secrets emerge within the walls of his church, Kayn must uncover the truth behind the curse and battle those who worship it as a divine blessing. Armed with ancient powers, he embarks on a dangerous quest to stop the curse before it consumes everything.

Great visuals, as always and pretty nice music!
I don't know if it's itch issue or something else, but if you press outside the game, you can't do anything anymore (even after clicking on the game) unless you tab out and come back.
More important - you can't interact while moving. It seems that if you press and release movement button and press z immediately, it doesn't work too, presumably because moving state hasn't finished yet.
This may lead to confusing situations and getting stuck. We think we checked something, but in fact we were still moving or just about to finish moving. Especially near the pentagram where it's not very clear what is interact-able and what isn't. (I love hands reaching for us though!)
Very very much agree with everything you said. I only allow interacting while the player is at a complete stop (or idle phase) I tried to recreate how a gameboy would feel but could have probably left that out.
Not 100% sure what clicking outside the box does to the actual game, this is an experimental Assembly Build (which you can't natively do in Gamemaker yet). Might be causing some minor issues as well.
Thanks so much for your feedback/review it is much appreciated! I hope you enjoyed the story :)
