Traversal, Puzzles, and Combat in a Heroic-Fantasy Setting

An adventurer with a yearning to explore the inaccessible, misty world of magic hears a tale of a door that opens onto that world, located in a lost city; she embarks on a journey to discover the city and its door, and enter the mist-world. In her journey she will climb, explore, discover, and fight through desolate and dangerous places, seeking out the threads that might lead her to A Door to the Mists.

Core features:

• Traversal and exploration, with universal mantling
• Puzzle-solving, both in-level and via minigame puzzles
• Combat, sparse and one-on-one

Usability features:
 (All found in the options menu)

• Key-rebinding
  • You could even, theoretically, play the game with just a keyboard. I really don't recommend it, but you could do it.
• Various difficulty settings, for both minigame-puzzles and combat
  • Includes a mode in which combat is automated
• Text-speed controls
• Field-of-view slider
• And a variety of other such options!

Recommended Minimum System Requirements:

• Core i7-5500U 4-Core CPU @ 2.40GHz
• 8GB of RAM
• GeForce 840M, with 2GB VRAM
• 64-bit OS

The above is based on my own machine; the game may work on less-powerful devices, but it may not, too.

Known issues:

• Undocumented feature: press "m" to toggle whether the mouse is confined to the window or not. (By default it is confined.)
• Undocumented feature: press "f" to toggle the frame-rate meter.
• On first run, the game starts in windowed mode with a default resolution--the resolution can be changed and fullscreen toggle via the options menu.
• To use a gamepad, select the "Gamepad" key-binding profile from the options menu--or, with the gamepad connected, bind the inputs individually as you prefer.
• Music sometimes doesn't play from the start of a cutscene, instead picking up shortly into it.
• Occasional speed-hitches have been observed, especially at the start of a level.
• Graphical glitches (in particular missing foliage) have been observed under Windows. These might be rectified upon saving and reloading the level.
• In level one, if one saves after defeating the first mummy and reloads, said mummy will be placed slightly above the ground
