Review
Sadly I have made the mistake everyone has done at one of their earlier Jams. I ditched Unity in favor of writing an custom engine on top of the HTML5 canvas. This worked surprisingly well, but ended up taking to much time. In the end it would have been better to simply stick to unity and better use my time. (In the end I did not even spellchecker the dialog, resulting in an enormous amount of errors... 😅) - I didn't find the time I will maybe fix this...

I'm guessing the combined genres were "adventure game" and "incomprehensible game". Was the broken English was supposed to represent Irish accents? All it managed to do was be confusing.
Unfortunately, the game is very short and ends quite abruptly, right after the plot starts to pick up. Alas. I would've liked seeing what happens next, despite the fact it felt like some sort of a fever dream.
