Thanks for playing! I'm so happy that everything felt unexplainably of, as that is the exact feeling I was going for! I am also happy you liked the story fragments. I was a bit worried that some people would skip over that stuff, so I'm glad to hear you found it interesting. If you decide to go for the other ending and get stuck, feel free to shoot me a message!
Sorry about the loud volume. I came back to the game with a fresh pair of ears after the holidays and I definitely see what you mean by the intro being a lot louder than everything else. I'll check some of the other areas and see if there are a few other sounds I can fix aside from the intro.
Thank you very much for your feedback and thank you for playing!
