Hello,

My name is Daniel Serrano Robles, and I'm a master's student from Mexico participating in an academic research project on video games and history. We've noticed the existence of some game jams focused on historical themes, and have selected some games to include in our study. We're interested in gathering the perspectives of some of their participants, and have created a survey to do so.

It would be extremely helpful to our research if the creators of this video game could complete the prepared survey. You can find the survey at the following Google Forms link:

We hope we can count on your support. Have a nice day!

I couldn’t play the game somehow! The game wouldn’t take my WASD/number input. Tried clicking around as well. It looks nice though! Thanks for making it.

I have become part of the circle of life. Cool text adventure, your incorporation of the map is very cool. I think your entry could have been improved if you had a few more sound affects or maybe some background music. Cool entry.  

Also in future, web builds are a good idea for game jams. It's pretty simple to make a web build in godot 4.
