This was such an interesting game!
I am not super familiar with the 2.5 RPG style so i found it very visually striking. I love the character art and the designs, they manage to be both very appealing but ordinary feeling in a wonderful relatable sense. The lighting on the beach was also particularly gorgeous.
The success of the game lies in the quality of writing and I really do believe that's where it shines. The dialogue felt natural but managed to leave room for a bit of mystery, incentivizing you to progress the story. I immediately felt quite attached to Mateo and wanted to see through his story as well!
Unfortunately I did run into a couple major bugs like my character getting stuck or just clipping through the floor. I did have to restart a few times but managed to get to the part where you encounter the turtle.
I am greatly intrigued by the story told thus far and hope that you continue polishing the game so that we can see it to the end! Wonderful work.
