[WIP] Prisoner of Bleakhall - I need testers!

[LocalFire]

Alright so this thing ain't finished yet but it can be run from one end to another so it testing time!

After the hash I made of testing my own projects in the past this time I'm looking for help. I fully expect this to be buggy and horrible, I've played through myself and found many bugs to fix so the less obivous one are whats left.

I'm looking for: Bug finding, feedback on balancing, story (doe's it make sense?) puzzles (any good? enough clues, too many clues, suggestions for improvement) and to see if a certain thing I put in will be found without me needing to give anything more than this lackluster hint.

Finally what you can expect from this dungeon, to encourage you to volunteer or get you hyped for when its finished, it features:

SpoilerShow

-15 main levels plus 1 level (spell forge) that acts as a hub for rapid travel between areas (in case you forgot something), provided of course you can find the hidden entrances

-Variable party: Start off alone as master assassin Evante Morecari and seek out other prisoners scattered about the cells to join you, or climb alone from the depths.

-Discover the secret of Bleakhall and the terrible events that led to the ascension of Thade, the Knight of Shadows to godhood in times long pas, as well as the purpose of mysterious kidnappings in the modern day.

-Find the spell forge hidden within the halls and use it to craft powerful items to aid your quest. (I've left hints on scrolls and notes, will need to know if these are clear)

-Journal expands on the story giving the main character some personality (I hope, feedback on this too would be great).

-Engage in combat with multiple bosses.

-New spells, items and monsters!

-Branching item progression: By which I mean no longer do you upgrade machete to long sword to cutlass etc. but now have various paths, standard balanced weapons, heavy high damage low accuracy/speed weapons, light fast low damage weapons and special stat boosters, all giving you more choices in how you gear up.

-Scattered life crystals: not one on every floor but few and far apart or even hidden (I'll want feedback on that too, more or less crystals?)

All this and more await you in: THE PRISONER OF BLEAKHALL!
