the game is really good. i love the way the pixel filter obscures what's in the distance, and how the nuances of movement and grappling have to be understood. the only thing i feel is lacking is the story--it couldve been a lot better, because it really only gives it to you in vague bursts at each save and wraps it up with a cutscene at the end. the end cutscene is fantastic save for some verbosity. i would really just like, if there ever were another update, a rounding out of the story to more gradually ease the player into its themes. dont get me wrong, i really do like how the themes of the story pair with the gameplay and visuals, it makes sense. i like it! i just wish it were more cohesive. overall great game especially for the low price tag. i like the slight narrative implications that come with the extra first kiln mode.

game has some issues with saves, mine got randomly corrupted + somehow got recovered after i deleted its godot appdata folder.
