An outstanding expression of creativity. The artistic skill on display here is obvious, but the game certainly does not try to sail on that merit alone. Everything we see is used to support the complex thematic and philosophical explorations in ways where merely writing could not take them - nor would merely the visuals. Knowing how to combine these aspects, for a work of art this abstract, is very impressive and you did it so well. Not only that, the jam's theme is present in so many ways that any attempt at the folly of pinning down the implementation would make one combust into flames.

The few less good things:

-The default Ren'py menu gave me whiplash.

--The textbox is functional enough, but it does feel so basic it's almost out of place in this game. (To me at least. Maybe there's an intent behind it I just didn't think of.)

---I was not planning on providing my actual numerical ratings for any entry, but I'll make an exception for this game's Presentation. While the visual presentation is well worth a 5 on its own in this category, I take audio into consideration for all submissions. So, [unintentional] lack of audio cruelly makes it a 4 :(  But, I have full faith you'll deliver something exquisite on that front too, and understand its current absence :)

The best thing: One doesn't even need media literacy for this actually, because the bat is really hot <3
