Thank you so much for the feedback!
To answer your question about the orbs: I intentionally designed them that way because I wanted to express that connection doesn't always result in positive feedback. Just like in life, some interactions restore you, while others might not.
And yeah, you are totally right about the text! I realized it was hard to read, but it was already too late to fix it before the deadline, haha.
I’m especially happy that you liked the ending journey. It feels like you really understood what I was trying to convey. That means a lot to me.
P.S. I just played your game and left a comment! I absolutely loved the concept and the warm feeling it gave me.
