Fantastic performances from the voice actors! The art was gorgeous and the sound and music fit very well. I could easily picture this being performed on a stage.
They're both so wrong for that, I love them so much. Take all my stars.
There's a bewitching and bittersweet feeling I couldn't escape as I watched and listened. The soundscape alongside the beautiful watercolor art were so easy to get immersed in. Loved every detail. Really nice work!
What an enchanting, painfully beautiful story this is! It carries all the bittersweet magic of an old fairytale, both utterly unique while at the same time feeling familiar and intimate. The artwork is exquisite, expressive and almost tactile in texture and color; the writing is dreamy and lyrical; the music holds the gentle melancholy of a lullaby; and the voice acting is stellar. One of my favorite entries in the jam; thank you for sharing such a lovely, powerful short story!
Gripping, thrilling and bone chilling! Amazing story, best 20 min I've had all week
