ooh, this was really intriguing!!
(SPOILERS)
i really liked how the story was told! in this and beckoning (the other game from you i've played) there's a really cool sense of not knowing where the plot's going until it's too late haha. i loved walking throught the forest helping all the animals, made me feel like i was in a fairytale. and when i left the house and looked at the consequences of helping them my stomach DROPPED with dread. such a cool moment! and the story is really helped by the fact the game's so short and you can't save; it really gave me a sense of "you have to try again" instead of just "you have to load a previous file", if that makes sense. it was really neat!
the way to win was really cool too, i loved how instead of having to figure out what combination of things to do or something like that, you just have to ignore everything lol. it was unique, and fit the story really well with the "finding your sense of reality" angle! took me a few tries to figure it out but it was so satisfying. and while the true ending is a bit confusing, i'm guessing it'll be explained in the other games of the series so it's not a problem (and if it doesn't that's fine, it's still a neat ending!).
i had a few issues with some events; some scripted waits let you move around and it made me get stuck without being able to move the first time i reached the true ending. and in the house, the places where the random objects appear don't let you go through them even if the objects aren't there. but that's about it, i had no real problems with anything else.
(also i didn't know where to put this but i LOVE the cat and wolf drawings, they're so cute-)
overall this was a really intriguing and well made game! and i was left feeling super interested in checking out the rest of the series! :D
