Great game! The story telling was awesome!
Thank you very much!
Really cool! I love the story and the storytelling. Got ending 8 the first time around. Seems about right.
I consider that one the canon ending so congratulations.
Honestly, good game. Odd to see it at the bottom in popularity at trijam, also didnt have time to play it to the end, but despite that this is clearly high-effort with the writing and art. Well done. Not out of the question that I one day come back to this game when I happen to look in my collection.
Thank you for your feedback! If you get to chapters 3 and 4 I'd love to hear your full thoughts!
