Oh wow, I love your storytelling! It creates a great Cozy Horror work. At first I thought this was a cozy fishing game, until I reeled up a finger and the art tone completely shifted. It has that cozy-turned-horror narrative vibe. I really love the music, visuals and atmosphere you’ve built. If you expand on it, you could go for an even warmer art style to amp up the contrast. I’d be really excited to see that! Great work! I have to praise your concise yet effective storytelling again. It’s really well done and immediately hooked me on the game’s plot!

Wow, not what I expected, but pretty interesting! I'm not sure if there's a way to avoid damage; if there is, I wasn't able to figure it out. All in all, I thought this was a fun game with a dark twist. Congrats on your entry!
