ESaF was pretty enjoyable: easy to read from start to finish and it did have its little comical moments (I appreciate the shoutout to the previous year's game jam entries).
The story didn't leave much of an impression on me though: I am definitely more of a fan of Night | Time Dreading | Fever by the same dev, it felt more adventurous! The story can summarized in a single sentence and there aren't really any "twists" to spice up the simple premise.
The presentation does suffer a bit too. The positioning of the sprites is pretty odd in relation to the backgrounds. More importantly, I don't feel like the size change that is the main plot point of the story really comes across visually. It would have probably required to experiment with the sprites a bit more: as it is, Nico at the end comes across as just being a bit closer to the reader.
