Thank you for your detailed feedback!
It’s true that with a bit more polish, the game could better convey the emotion I had in mind. I probably should have added a calmer, more emotional soundtrack to help set the mood — I admit that’s something that’s missing.
As for the visual style, I see what you mean. Even though I liked the minimalist approach, something more expressive could definitely help create a stronger emotional connection with the player. That said, this is actually the style I had in mind, and personally, I really like it.
Thanks again!
