Boo! Late to the party, but finally got to play, and I enjoyed it ๐
You captured that fairy tale vibe with your writing and imagery without shying away from some violence and bloodiness, which I feel adds a dash of realism to the story.
I won't go into 'societal expectations for women suck' because the game illustrated that pretty well but I felt so bad for Amaia and hated every second of Azaiah on the screen lol. I DID like Happho, though, even though I was worried about her intention thanks to your trollposting (tsk tsk). The scenes at the tower with just Amaia and Happho were very cozy (and even silly at times) and felt like an escape from the oppressive world outside. I also liked how you integrated Happho's backstory into her character! It makes perfect sense and I love it when things make sense, especially in magical settings djskjdflsdjfls
The story went some places I didn't expect, and that was very neat! I was fully expecting Amaia and Caleb to run off into the distance holding hands, but I like the actual ending much better (even tho Caleb is a sweetheart). It fits the themes of the story and it's genuinely so heartwarming that's where Amaia's story ends (or starts!) (maybe there is hope for this world lol).
Overall, a lot of cool ideas in this one! I liked it a lot ๐
