Ok, I'm going to try to be as critical as I can, constructively of course.
First of all, I'm going to tell you that overall it's a great game. It kept me enjoyably busy, with a determination to finish for several hours. With that being said, you have some bugs to work out.
The first that comes to mind are your spelling errors throughout the game. Some are in the Merchant's Menus, and others are just visible through dialogue with the characters. It's obviously not a huge deal, but it makes it seem like you're either ignorant, or careless.
The next issue I noticed was that occasionally when targeting enemies, you wouldn't be able to attack them. I would have to reposition my character several times (even when I was right next to the enemy) to allow myself to be able to attack them. It happened primarily against Archers but occasionally it would occur against other foes as well.
Thirdly, as others have previously mentioned, the use of an overview map of your currently positioned level would be EXTREMELY handy. It is very difficult to explore blindly several different levels especially while being required to search for specific items hidden throughout.
Lastly, I was not able to find the Candle, therefore I also was not able to finish the game, which was rather frustrating. So I would also suggest the option of a walkthrough. Though, this could have just been incompetence on my part (though I searched every level available to me VERY thoroughly several times), so I won't take points away for this last issue.
All in all, nice job. Take care of the matters listed above, and you'll have an absolutely excellent game. 9/10, 4/5
