Thanks for joining the jam my friend. So, spot on in terms of matching the theme. The core mechanic is clear and simple and has the challenge of trying to determine the best course of action and dealing with the consequences, although it seems like you often have an opportunity to just go back a page or two and no longer be dead. Game feel gets a bonus for the atmosphere and the animations that I think are build into the engine? Not sure but it adds a nice touch, but some audio and general feedback of the visuals would've added to that. Sound of course didn't quite make the cut.
So yeah solid stuff for a first completed game and narratively, it is definitely intriguing and makes you want to try more paths.
Oh I like this one. Still not out of the woods, yet. Got eaten and what not, told some creatures I'll help them with some tasks so they help me, then got lost... I'm gonna come back to this for sure, once my brain heals from not sleeping for almost 40hours thanks to this jam.
But this dream like storytelling, I like that. Real shame there is no audio to support the armosphere, but hen again, I'm getting a hint of that feeling I got when I read adventure books as a kid.
