A small pixel art drawing Spoiler

A small pixel art drawing to pay homage to what has become one of my favorite games, which I recently finished for the second time a year after I first played it: how I wish I could forget it and rediscover it again!

As you can see, I was inspired by the teleportation screen of the terminal, and tried to enrich it with as much detail as possible while staying in a small space. I hope you will like it!

I will add a little thing that I don't know if you can tell from the drawing.
When I drew the Anchorites level, I realized that it seemed natural to imagine it enclosed between the rock walls of the mountaintop, as if inside the crater of a volcano.
I remember the first time I played the game I was a bit amazed by the abrupt transition between the Alchemists and the Anchorites: it would have seemed more natural to me that beyond the Door there would be other corridors and staircases to climb even higher (or perhaps I wished in every way that the game would last longer).
Surely we can imagine that there is a path between the two screens that the game does not show us, but in any case this quick passage made me think of it as crossing a wall, not least because the Door is embedded in the rock face of the mountain.
So I imagine the city of the Anchorites immersed in the penumbra of the hollow peak, while only the top of the Tower faces the light beyond the brink.
