[Spoiler] Just finished the game - my thoughts

First of all: I've really liked the game. I'm 100 % convinced it was worth the 20 €. I played it the last few days, basically every free minute I didn't have to do Uni stuff (and some minutes I should have ^^'). I definitely enjoyed the story the most. The gameplay was good, but I have a few points:

1. Some sort of map would have been a great addition. There where times where I got lost, especially in the garden, the fortress and the alchemists section. I get that the sewer is supposed to be a maze, but it was just annoying at some points

2. More interactions (context clues) would have benefited the game. I knew most of the glyphs of the devotees already, so I got through there fairly quickly. I think the warriors language was just right regarding difficulty. I really struggled through the bard's language

3. I'm not sure if I would have wanted more streamlining. But I missed interactions and glyphs at some points, and went through levels another order as guides I had to check regarding the first two points. Also at some point I advanced into a new section without having the meaning of the runes I needed to translate runes from the new language.

4. More shortcuts. Having to run stairs up and down was really annoying, especially because, for some, you couldn't click at the stair exit immediately. Also the hitboxes were weird in a few screens.

But as I said, all in all, I enjoyed the game. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the story was really great. I can definitely understand why it's nominated for the Steam Game Awards.
