Intriguing opening, with an excellent atmosphere with a setting and mechanic I haven’t seen like this before. Very fun world building and well drawn characters.

Wonderful art really adds to the text being displayed and I really enjoyed the subtle way their mouths open when it is their turn to do the talking.

I found the colored words to be a nice and subtle way to show new options without having to have it outright explained

Thank you for the kind words! I was worried about a number of issues with the keyword system, and I still think it has some flaws with the way it’s implemented, but it’s good to hear that the concept itself isn’t bad.

i played this on stream! i did not finish it as it is late but will be sure to revisit! the gameplay was amazing, the art was amazing, the sound design was amazing! while i didn't beat it i didn't find anything to complain about! this is an amazing work and full stars all around. YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD!

Thank you so much! I always worry about sound design so it’s reassuring to hear that it’s good! Lykancense definitely went crazy on the art. Glad you enjoyed!
