Overall, a great experience.
The use of 2D sprites in a 3D environment is something I haven't seen before, and it looks fantastic.
The story was a perfect fit for a short game.
I always enjoy endings that take me a couple of minutes to realize the true implications of what they are saying.
The music is a real standout.
I had the music playing while I was talking to someone.
Normally I would have muted it, but it sits in the background so well that I left it playing.
At the same time it comes to the foreground to accentuate the key story moments quite nicely.
Overall this game is a hidden gem that I am happy to have played.
The gameplay has nothing fancy but the controls are pleasant and there are not too much back and forth in the fetch quests.
Thanks a lot I had a good time 💕
