Thanks so much for the positive review!
I'll admit, I have more than a few tweaks i'd like to make before I'd even consider selling the game on Steam, but it's still flattering to hear such high praise for the game!
Glad you were able to find & enjoy the game's "true" ending, too. 😋 Given the target audience for the game jam (and the personality of the OC I based the protagonist on) it felt fitting to add something like that as a 'reward' of sorts for those willing to go out of their way to reach it.
Navigation was probably the one thing I've received the most consistent criticism about, so it's reassuring to hear that there were still those who had a positive experience with it. Same with the writing; I haven't heard anyone say they didn't like it yet, but I'll admit I was a little concerned that the fact I focussed moreso on the gameplay & aesthetics during the game jam period would make it weaker by comparison, so thanks for giving me feedback on that as well!
