I really liked this game. The combination of pre-rendered animated backgrounds and the 2D sprites went so hard. The worldbuilding was great as well—visually as well as writing-wise.
I loved the dynamic between the two. Their back-and-forth made them feel very much on par with each other. Each of them gaining the upperhand at some point, and willingly submissing at another.
How you integrated the sieve into the story, was really really cool.
