Ohhhh fighting the monsters in the final dungeon heals you afterwards... I wish I had known that since I just phased past them because I was so low on HP xD Thanks for letting me know, I was able to finish the game after a few tries! Being able to save during the dialogue really helped me too, though I'm not sure if that was intended since saving was disabled in the menu. The ending was great! I won't get into it to avoid spoiling too much for others, but I was expecting a multiple ending thing based on whether you finished the costume and other factors. Now I think this game is more of a prequel for a future game, which I hope to see!
Regarding the puzzle, looks like I completely misunderstood it and thought it was something like the number of people in the stories, and the order would be smaller > largest number of people... which now that I looked again, wouldn't be right anyways xD A line like "following the life of this young woman" would help clear things up I think.
Once again, great work! Hope to see more of your work!
