Really enjoyed my first playthrough. I'm not at all familiar with filipino folklore so this was a fascinating glimpse into a different culture (definitely going to hunt down the book recommended).

I was a bit uncertain at first how to narrate parts of the game - whether I should just talk aloud to myself, write it down, or just mentally figure things out - but decided to write small entries for each test and enjoyed the experience of discreet writing prompts.

My favorite aspect is definitely how underpowered I felt at every junction. There are not enough games that leverage helplessness in interesting thematic ways and I like that my character feels small and fragile compared to the forest around them.

Definitely going to have to play through again. Maybe I'll make it out this time.
