I actually really liked the 3D 2D combo you did. Has an interesting feel to it. I think you did what I was trying to pull off, but you kept the scope much smaller, which let you do it more successfully than I did. I was expecting a much creepier game, but it was more... cozy? than I expected. The characters were strange and creepy for sure, but with all endings none of them turned out to be some human devouring monster (at least not that we can confirm). I would have liked to know more about the bones in the western part of the map, but I assume that was something not fully implemented before the deadline.

answering to this since you were wondering (thank you so much for playing and commenting!!), so major SPOILERS for this game..!

in the ending you get by following the wisps, it turns out that the character you're playing as is heating up the sauna to burn it and eat everyone :D it might not have been clear, so that's our fault, but it's what we were going for! the bones were meant as a clue along with the old burnt sauna. so, every winter solstice the main character prepares a feast out of the sauna visitors by burning them in the sauna and then eating the flesh from their bones...
but we accept any interpretation of this game's story!
