Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! We're super glad you enjoyed the game! As the member who really wanted to give lore and meaning to out world, it makes me super happy that you have such thoughtful questions! We actually had quite a few worldbuilding sessions during the jam and have answers to the majority of the questions you asked! That dialogue option was a nod to the full lore behind our project as we didn't quite have enough time to implement all of the lore and worldbuilding in the way we wanted to for this jam, but if you (or anyone else who stumbles upon this thread) wants to know more about the world we've created, I would be more than happy to answer anyone's questions here or on discord! (my user is the same as my itch user.)
