i think the story improved a lot and i like the new conversations with the light. i do with you had maybe shaken up the morality a bit more and had more than too endings. the theme the light brings up of compassion contrasted with being forced to choose between to horrible people is really interesting and i wish it was reflected more in the results of the game.
I like the (I think?) expanded backstory behind The Light, and the circular nature of the game. I do wish the choices you made had more impact on the final endings. From what I can tell, so long as you always feed the hunger, you'll get the more lore intensive endings, while the variety of different possibilities amoung who you decide to keep alive don't have that much impact on the "neutral" endings.
If I'm remembering correctly, the Light did not speak to you as much as it does in this version. If so, I think that was a great addition, as it helps me to understand the world you've created better. Still love how uncomfortable these choices make me feel as a player, you did a great job at challenging our moral compass.
My only constructive comment, I almost wish I was "punished" or had more negative consequences as a player (I chose to feed two people to the Hunger.) It seems like a bit of a cop out to just free the people that, only moments ago, I was playing god with.
The expanded conversation with the light was nice and I felt like it added some more enjoyable lore to the situation.
I feel like the changes were successful in adding to the story without changing the overall feel or point of it. I think
there is still some weight missing from the decisions in terms of overall game impact but I still liked the choices.
I really enjoyed the changes to the beginning that you made from the first submission. The way the light talks to you in the beginning is more immersive and grounded me in the space. I would have liked to have seen something else to represent the light until it reveals it's true form to you. I think the reveal would have been more impactful if we thought it was something else and then, BAM, "Here is my true form." ( Love all the text color btw. )
This was a great story and I really liked the fact that you could choose both to sacrifice someone and to just feed it. I also really liked how the light was basically just half of the hunger, where the light was the last person this happened to. The only thing is, I was not expecting the image of the hunger as the thumbnail for the game so that startled me just a bit when I went into the jam page lol

Positive: Enjoyed having more conversations with the Light, Like how you called out my choices more, enjoyed having more reactions to being bad.
Constructive: I do still wish there was more consequences for my player character for the choices I made.
