What a long and insightful review of the game! Thank you so much for checking it out! Tho, I think you didn't play the final build cause I did fix a few things with the map, platforms and other QOL. As stated in other comments we sadly started 2 weeks in and had to rush through a lot of things. I wish we had more time to test things and really work on the movement but such is life, and game jams lol.
The narrative is quite extensive, and was there before we even started working on the game. We might revisit this idea in the future to truly do it justice!
