To start, the art and music are fantastic. So far the best I have seen in the jam. It feels unreasonably well polished, which is great, but it also puts high expectation on the gameplay to follow up, which I think fails to do so.
The game at its core seems to be a dark interactive Visual Novel, however it feels at some key parts. Most importantly, the game's hook feels weak. At the very beginning of the game, you are greeted by far too much text explaining things about the game project. That can be put after the game. Once you start the game itself, it is far too much "telling not showing". There is too much expose, which I skipped. I would rather be hooked by visual story telling. The vibe of the game is thankfully very well done, which helped me understand what the theme was overall. Further on that note, even for people following the story, it would be easy to forget stuff. Something like a journal or a notebook or anything visual that the main character keeps with them would be very nice. Furthermore, the game wants me to feel bad for the main character, which it tries to do by telling us about the bad events that have happened to the character, but at least for me, that fails to do it. It's a very nice touch that as the character interacts with the world we learn more about them, however I would've also liked it if I could skip faster. If I feel like reading more, I will take my time, and if I don't feel interested by a certain part, I'd rather skip it whole to get to the gameplay faster.
Finally, gameplay is king, and while this game is extremely polished in almost all direction, In my experience this is where it is weakest. Simply walking around trying to find what to do is not very appealing, especially for a game jam.
To conclude, this is very promising and a great amount of effort has obviously been put into the game. Lean more in visual story telling, both in the game and outside the game, and I believe that this game could be great.

Thank you so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me! If I manage to win, I will definitely add more gameplay sections and a bunch of new features to make the game feel like a little adventure. 😊 Thank you so much for playing my game—I truly appreciate it!
