Very well written. I included it in a compilation video series of all of the Mystic Western Game Jam games, if you'd like to take a look :)

Very introspective!

I updated my game, now it works - Luminous Cactus.

Superb writing here, really very impressed by it. Perfect size and scope. Sits just right (uneasily).
