Words can't describe how much I love this comment (however, this will not stop me from writing a novel-length response). I am so, so glad that you enjoyed it, but I'm even more glad that you realized what the intention was here. While I don't think I'm quite capable of a 10/10 game just yet, I was definitely trying to make this seem like a small slice of something much larger. To hear you say you loved it means the world to me, because the main reason I make games is to try against all odds to give people the same type of experiences that made me fall in love with games in the first place.
Also, very glad to hear you liked the dialogue (shoutout to my GOAT Wally). That was definitely a major focus, along with controls and SFX to create the type of atmosphere I was going for. I hope to eventually expand out from this little slice into something much more substantial, so if you still find yourself wanting more, there may be something to look forward to in the future (no timeline yet though).
...okay I did say I was going to write a novel but this is getting ridiculous so I'll just end it and say thank you so much for this comment and for playing my game!!
