this was so incredible i had to go out of my way to log in and comment! ive been playing a lot of itch.io games, especially visual novels, for inspiration (and for fun!) and this one stands out! theres so much love and care put into this story and this world, and it truly is a story worth telling!
i love the interaction with being able to play the card game. if you ever expand upon this game even more (though it is amazing as is) i would love more opportunities for interaction in the world.
but man oh man this story touched my heart :) pls keep creating and doing what you love!! its very inspiring.
