A lovely story with wonderful prose. It flowed really nicely, with the different areas, or character scenes, seamlessly going from one to the next no matter their order. The little map of the island was a great idea, with handy little icons showing who I've swayed so far. I’d love to see this map revisited, with little rivers, hills, towers etc maybe? Lastly, very on-theme. Really enjoyed this!

Wow. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the weight of this game. It's not easy to portray the weight and history of a culture and civilization in a short work, but it felt very real, especially in how different people had different opinions. Makes me feel very bittersweet. I'd like to circle back and play for more endings later. Thank you for sharing.

I really like the atmosphere in your game and the presentation suited the plot perfectly.

This is a lovely game with a really compelling world and beautiful prose. Thank you for sharing it! I played through twice to get two endings and I appreciated both of them. I think having Keelah come along as a companion character was really smart. It lets the player feel like we have someone on our side and also gives us insight into some of the interpersonal relationships on the island and the tension between those who like magic and those who don't.

Do Shepherd's Dream of Silver Sheep? I felt like a leader and I felt like I was making hard decisions. I also felt kind of ridiculous, because I started switching preferences based on who I was talking to and then felt like that showed poor leadership. I should be confident in my choice and deal with the consequences. It worked out. What has magic really done for us?
