I absolutely adored the prose for this game, there’s something so satisfying about the way it began with such a soft love story between the king and queen and the progressive dread when it came to the involvement of the princess, and then a jump cut to almost horror. That horror spin for the narrative was especially great, which I think is a theme that was so under utilized for this jam and this game has definitely filled the niche.
The two window format was such a neat take even if it took me a bit of fiddling to be comfortable with how it was set up, but I think it really helped the game stand out even more. A lot felt very experimental for this submission in particular, but to see that the leap was taken to head in those directions is so refreshing and satisfying, especially with such an enthralling writing style.
