£15,000!? That's awesome! It's exactly 1/2 of the maximum (unless I screwed something up) and you got one of the all-time best endings. Well done! I'm glad you liked the art, it was where I spent most of my effort this year.
I'm glad you liked the game speed and the art! I leaned into just playing with my favorite bits of nostalgia - instant step, 2D graphics, text-based gameplay, text-based UI, etc and it makes me feel very good that it was enjoyed by you too.
