Omg, your fey and my raccoons would get along swimmingly! :)
I've always loved Changeling: the Dreaming, and Changeling: the Lost, so this game's concepts feel very lovely and familiar to me. I especially like the party choosing an over-arching goal, and that it can be Epic or just workplace chatting, That really represents how strange and fascinating our "ordinary" life is as humans.
This is magnificently fleshed out for such a time limited jam. So many details that make the world and game both feel playable, from character beats to scenario suggestions to the built in game timer driving towards failure.
Can't decide which of the three fey types I'd most like to play!
I love the fey character options, and the example scenarios made me want to write a oneshot for my own game group about doctoring performance reviews, hahaha. Very cute and fairy-tale-esque setting for a game. I think trying to fit in is something a lot of people can relate to, but getting to approach it through various means of misschief and madness sounds like the recipe for a lot of fun. I also really like the writing, and the clean layout makes it very pleasant to read.
“They will tell you that you’re not supposed to be here. You will prove them wrong.” That’s such a powerful set of lines, and a perfect homage to the theme!
The overall vibe set at the beginning reminded me a lot of the video game Octodad, which I haven’t played, and is about an octopus acting like a human? I like your version much more, though: the idea of a greater being putting itself through the agony of acting human is somehow funnier than an octopus “elevating” itself to life as a human.
There’s such a great blend of whimsy and absurd humor here, I love it. Everything from the layout to the writing and even the font fit the theme perfectly, and I really appreciate the characters and scenarios given.

Ah, this game is so charming and high-spirited . I love the scenarios and different types of creature you can be, they all have their own identity and that's such a accomplishment in 72 hours :)
This feels really user friendly for someone who has never GM’d before or as an introduction to TTRPG for the players. I like the simple character sheets, they give a nice starting point for a casual game. The overall premise is really cute and sounds like a fun scenario.
