i really wanted to play our cinderella first, but then i looked at this game and saw the screenshots and kinda just. blacked out. and now i am here.
the atmosphere is so bittersweet and heavy and so so good. and there are a lot of tiny visual things that i like. the start screen animations (the way there is no music anymore and just bloodied genzo standing there after you get ending 2?????) and the approach to showing the textbox, the dancing, the text animation, Orlam's sprites, also Orlam's sprites, also did I mention Orlam's sprites? also the AHHHHHHH when he has a breakdown in first ending. The second ending is particularly heartbreaking, and also feels like the "true" one (Genzou crying while stabbing Orlam to death... i am going to suffocate....)
Really effective work around the strict limitations of the original jam! Also did I mention I very much like Orlam sprites? I very much like Orlam's sprites. God do I love Orlam's sprites. Only a normal amount though, please trust me.
