Congrats on submitting your game to the jam!
This is definitely... an experience, that's for sure. I found it one of those games where I didn't want to miss anything, since every little detail was so well written and interesting.
I was chuckling throughout - there are many Lion King references and also I loved 'Maybe I'm a Lion!" from Final Fantasy VIII. I have very fond memories of that game - I just hit puberty when the game came out and I wanted to be Squall SO badly so I grew my hair and tried to style it like his. There was this girl who looked like Rinoa in my history class who I had a HUGE crush on but I never found the courage to ask her out XD
I really did like the game it was short but oh so sweet. I think you could have had mom say a line like "No, I will not awake. Maybe I'mma lie in." Or something like that it would have been funny.
Thanks for making the game (and also appealing to my personal nostalgia about FFVIII) and sharing!
