I'm really glad it left an impression on you, thanks for playing and the detailed comment, I appreciate it a lot :) The past bunch of jams that I entered I tried to make a game (i.e. a platformer but you can do X, or a mini rpg with Y as a hook) and this time I just made something that I wanted to make without it trying to be anything else. It's the game I'm most proud of and it's really cool too see it resonating with people who have played it.
