thank you so much for the feedback!
Thistle is what in our time might be called genderfluid, but as the setting is early medieval fantasy, we felt it more natural to show the ambiguity and fluctuation specific to them rather than fall back on a label. we're glad you appreciated that!
as for the ending, we were maybe a little too cruel. but the full release will definitely extend the story past that little cliffhanger ;)
and lastly, content warning added to the page and soon the demo itself. thanks for catching that!
