Nice story game. Cute illustrations and well done environments.

The witty dialogue choices at some point of the story were funny.

I wish I could've seen what happened after I helped Winter, but the boat never came and I just got stuck with a pile of axes in my inventory.

Some suggestions for improvement:

- I got stuck between a tree and a bush and had to close the game. Literally the first tree I see in the game. Maybe consider moving that bush a bit away from the tree.

- The menu doesn't play nice with ultrawide aspect ratio. I had to force the game to run windowed to be able to see some buttons on my monitor.

- The furniture in "my house" was huge, probably needs resizing. Also in this room the camera clipping felt weird.

- The funny hat I picked up from the garden turned into a blue cube in the inventory.

- I could pick up multiple copies of the items in Winter's house by entering and exiting the room.

- Some of Winter's dialogue lines were overlapping and were unreadable. I don't know if it was intended to symbolize her mental instability or if it was a bug.

- As mentioned above, I got stuck at the part when the second boat is supposed to come in. Should I have used the axe to chop down some trees and make her a boat? XD

Good game!

I got stuck when I had to return the tulip. The story was intriguing and well written. Good job!

A really lovely story game. The graphics are cute and the music is really relaxing.

Unfortunately I got stuck at the end. I seem to be unable to progress any further and I'm only acquiring more and more "Test Axe" items :D
I'm curious to know how the game is supposed to end.
