I really enjoyed 9 Years of Shadows and I recommend it if you're a fan of this genre and you're looking for a short game. The art is beautiful, and the overall concept is quite interesting. That said, the game does have some questionable design choices—like the backward dodge, which I used at the beginning and never touched again. I also need to warn you, as I mentioned in the title, the game has quite a few bugs. The screen can freeze at times, and in my case, after defeating the final boss, the game froze because I skipped the ending text too quickly. I had to restart the game and fight the boss again. Still, if you can overlook those technical issues, I think it's worth playing.
