How does your game fit the theme?
You count down to the day of the player chatacter's death. Each daay is on a countdown (he's sick, poor him). Typing minigames are on a countdown

What to do at the beginning?
Wow. Didnt expected to find a game like this. I am gonna be honest i didnt progress a lot, it got me sad. BUT. DAMN the music, the art, the minigames, the atmosphere ...... the feelings this game created were soooooo intense (in a good way). I never expected a gamejam game to make me feel that way, wow Congrats!!
Somehow this game feels really big in a good way. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and piecing their history together. I'm also impressed by how many tracks your composer churned out, respect.
wow ABSURDLY UNDERRATED it’s absolutely criminal I’m the first comment here. There’s so much characterization fit into these brief conversations and the aesthetic is insanely good. Whoever designed the OS and whoever worked on the music needs an award NOW!!
The typing minigame felt really thought provoking with the choice of words and the coloring choice. There was one day I noticed that there were repeat words in the word cloud - honestly no idea if that was intentional but it felt poignant regardless.
BTW There’s 2 bugs I noticed on like day 4? Ophelia’s portrait is replaced with Julian’s for a couple of her lines. Also Camilla’s dialogue repeats near the start.
Also hilarious that you sneaked “counting down” into Ophelia’s dialogue lol. I’m a sucker for melancholy but I think you guys made something very very special. Congrats!
