Very intriguing demo. The art and atmosphere are fantastic. An offset bookmark as the menu is cute. I appreciate being able to toggle lighting and font. The real horror for me was Bulan being wrapped up in a dress and shipped off to be a bride, being forced to speak his false name. He's not the first nor the last man to experience that.
I think the original tale was meant to comfort brides of arranged marriages. I see this iteration comforting those that need to "die" to live. You may lose your home, your father, your reputation, but on the other side of death there's light: transformation and belonging. Bulan's false name is used so effectively it made my heart sink. I'm quite excited to follow this project.
Also the Forsaken One is hot. What them wings do, big dawg? Bro wants Bulan in his guts so bad; they're literally spilling out to meet him lmao
