wow, the scope of this one was crazy! where aliferous had a touch of fantasy, HMB (i hope you don’t mind me abbreviating it without permission!) went full on surreal-dreamy-fantastical and i honestly do love it. the cuts between our protagonist + her lovely tagalong and the announcer are well timed and paced out, which is a skill i feel like few truly master. of course, everyone’s already talked about the visuals, but they really do lend to that fever-dream quality. also does the announcer remind anyone of their goal to crack tenna? cuz i’m cracking the announcer.
i just love how MUCH you were able to do in 10 days, while battling food poisoning at first, and with 11k words. i’ve never seen 11k words convey so much! the winding plot, the twists and turns of it all, the subtle worldbuilding, and even three endings. also how FIRE is the idea of riding into the heart of the city? i just feel like the concept as a whole was a beautiful thing and you truly brought it to life. i still need to go back and decode your secret language once i get the time, but the fact that you have one in the first place is so cool. this game is the full package!
also, i just want thank you so much for rating our entry 🙇♀️ and sorry it took me until now to get to yours! knowing it was 11k words, i wanted to set aside the proper amount of time to play. happy to see you again!!
