I did not expect such a well done intro right away! And wow, the UI was incredible. I loved the whole notebook aesthetic and that you could actually follow the notes and everything while you played, it really helped keeping track of everything. Also the animations and way you moved around all the sprites was also super great!
I didn't think the UI and rest of the art clashed but I do think the story would've been a lot harder to follow WITHOUT the notes. So again, smart move to include it!
All of you on the team really put together a solid and wonderful looking entry. Nice work!
Nice game! I really liked the title card and the fact that the game actually starts when you open the game and THEN you get the menu.
The art was overall good, but I did feel the ui did not mix together with the rest of the art as well as the other parts mix together. Still, the notebook idea was very nice!
The story was interesting, but sometimes it felt a bit hard to keep track of, good idea to have the notes be available to the player.
Overall, it was a nice experience!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
