The gameplay itself is okay. There are moments of tension, but as soon as you understand that there are no real threat from anything, the tension dissolves and you're just kinda trying to get through menial activities to get to the next bit of animation.
Really cool art, kudos for that.
Mood was also pretty good.

( BTW ): We also have an entry if you want to play it and rate it. Really appreciated! :heart:
Great illustrations and atmosphere. I love the way the story is told , you really want to know the end while you are playing.
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!

I also like how you leave the player the impression of choosing the type they'd want to play, only to force them to be something else! And I guess there are several endings as well?
Overall good job!
I didn't kill it, you made it too cute :cry:
