I am the sole dev of this game. This is my second game jam, my first being the Cozy Winter Jam 2023 hosted by Virtual Turtle Games two weeks ago. I only have ~2 months of total game development experience.

How does your game relate to the theme?
The sound effects are satisfying/pleasing, therefore "charming," the story behind the game is that you (unknowingly) cast charms and/or curses on your home village using runes (which could maybe count as charms themselves), and I consider the visual style to be charming as well.
