How. The Heck. Is this a JAM GAME?! Genuinely an amazing experience. I love the way the narrative is told through text that exists in the scene (though it can make it a bit difficult to read in more cramped spaces), and I was engaged throughout. I've never played Obra-Din, so I'm not sure if this is common to these types of games or not, but I also really enjoyed exploring the memory by interacting with different clues to find more information. Plus the artstyle, the creepy audio track in the background... Unbelievable job on this one!!

Ah, so happy to hear! It's incredibly heartwarming to see people enjoy the story that we told here. Answering the "How the heck?" - Experience + passion. Regarding in-world text, it is not a new idea, but it isn't a common thing either; I personally only remember such a trick in "What Remains of Edith Finch". For this game, it was indeed a perfect storytelling tool: easy to make, stylish, and powerful.
