Fantastic! So much effort put into making the rhymes and poems :')
Graphics & Movement
Very picturesque! The peaceful hills and rooms were gorgeous throughout, I wished I could be there myself. The running aspect of the character at both stages was helpful too, in getting from place to place. I found myself running whenever I could. Each scene was so beautiful, it could have been used as wallpaper.
Storyline & Puzzles
Straightforward gameplay & plot. The constant use of rhymes were calming and helped me to stay calm when things got scary (the noises at night, when the queen gave me her "gift" for the first time).
Suggestions for Improvement
- Would have been nice to see changes to the storyline with different conversation choices.
- While I appreciate the thought put into making the poems, perhaps there were too many, and I ended up not touching the book after I opened it once. The need for instructions for making skim milk/butter was also slightly unnecessary because the protagonist would also give similar instructions, outside of the book.
Bugs
- After the first night, I had gone up to the cairn on the mountain and found more logs sitting in the sun to dry.
- My computer kept changing resolution every time I started the game.
