Wow this was a good one. I thought the Wolf in the Wardrobe exceled at the exploration of identity and coming of age, and Ilmari's viewpoint is very grounded yet profound as he navigates his traditional upbringing and relationship with Sampo. It was a little hard to get into because of the MASSIVE walls of text at the start, but it picked up once the narrative got going. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but I think that made the overall story hit much harder, much to my chagrin.

In terms of the presentation, the sprites and backgrounds are wonderful. I love the hand painted effects on the backgrounds, and I was surprised to see multiple characters with expressive sprites and the CG art. The music was also well utilized, and the overall experience was powerful (albeit depressing). Honestly, I'd love to see more content in this world. It kind of reminded me of Adrasta with the more Roman influence, and we love the C.S. Lewis metaphors.

Excellent work, team!
