thank you so much for your detailed comment! I'm really happy to hear that the tileset, map and artwork came together in a soothing, relaxing way; that's exactly what I wanted to achieve! so it seems it ties well with the dialogue.
I hear you with the text box size; I actually got another comment on that yesterday, so that's something to work on.
the final picture is indeed a good idea! I wanted the final sentence ("we just wouldn't") to pack a punch before the game wraps up, but that could be put after the photograph.
thanks again for playing!
