It's about two months later after I initially beat this game and my feelings remain the same after beating it a bit before writing this. Cloudbird, you have made something truly special that has stuck with me and I will forever be perpetually in awe that this was all you (yes, I know things like the music and font are free use, but you understand what I mean).
All aspects of Cold Vessel coalesce wonderfully together to make me want to gush about this game when I seldom speak online. The writing, atmosphere, characterization, art, gameplay design—it's just all so great to me and more than anything I wish to see more of your talents even if the world is heading in the direction that it is. You genuinely have a gift and while it is in your right to decide what you want to do, I sincerely hope that this is far from the last we see of you in the community. Godspeed, brother, and may all go your way.
