Ooh I liked this a lot! The writing is lovely and lyrical, the pacing is nice and fast, and the characters feel very well-developed despite the story being on the shorter side. It was a gripping and evocative story from start to finish, I love the vibes and the lovely lyricism it was written with. Thank you so much for making this!!!
I really like the UI too, the scrolling textbox which takes up half the screen works well for the longer prose and the more lush paragraphs. It was a really good design choice (also the speaking sprites that change with the speaker name; another geat idea).
I do wish the preferences and save/load menus had been customised since the stock Ren'py doesn't really match the general aesthetic of the game (+ there's a few instances where Ilse is described wearing clothes which are different from her default outfit, but her outfit doens't change), but since this was made in a short timeframe I don't mind it too much. It would be nice to see an updated version of this in the future with a bit more polish re: the visuals, but the writing is incredibly strong as-is and I really did like it a lot!
