I loved this game! I'm a moth to the fantasy genre in general. You're writing is immersive and enjoyable. I was very impressed with the worldbuilding you achieved and I was attached to both characters by the end. Also the gameplay was very fun. I was not expecting the time consequence when taking too long to choose a spell but I really enjoyed the limitation! I think the only thing that lost me a bit was the amount of mages introduced near the end. Think in a longer format I wouldn't have minded but I felt a little overwhelmed trying to remember which mage was on what side and their purpose. They all served a similar purpose for the story progression and in that case I think it would've been easier to follow along with less characters to focus on in that moment. I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't played but the way Maelor was used I think worked really well. Having a character on Kael's side to mirror that could have been an interesting contrast. However that's just my interpretation. The cover art is very beautiful too!

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! It makes me really happy to know you enjoyed the story, the characters, and the gameplay.
It’s true that several new characters appear near the end. In the original idea, that part was meant to be developed through more scenes and even a few additional chapters, but due to the time limitations of the jam I had to condense everything. Even so, I tried to keep the essence of what I wanted to tell.
My intention is to continue expanding the project, give more depth to those moments, and bring the early-game mechanics into the final section as well, with more routes and possible endings.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support! I hope more people can enjoy it too.
