This was a really enjoyable watch, great entry! I really liked how you handled the theme. Many entries I've seen explicitly say/show "5 seconds too late" in the scene which I find a bit immersion-breaking, but I really liked the subtle twist with the wizard NPC popping out just a few seconds too late. It was a cool choice to have the audience (but not the wizard) be aware of the hero's fate. There are some great sfx like the player jump at beginning, wizard pulling out sword, slime emerging. But there are also a few places where I wish sfx had been added like player footsteps (in house, on grass) and maybe some kind of button mashing sfx for when Dude chooses to play Car Stealer 5 instead of adventure. The visuals do a solid job of conveying the story but don't stand out as particularly interesting or stylish; I think there is room for improvement there. The story itself was funny and I enjoyed how there were 3 distinct characters with different motivations and personalities, not an easy thing for a 3 day jam. Fun watch, keep up the good work!!
