Thank you so much! I’m glad my writing style resonated with you, it’s something I take a lot of pride in. Care was definitely taken to make each block of text at least roughly fit, but making it exactly fit was a polish thing that I didn’t want to prioritise in the jam over the actual content itself. Definitely paid off if it feels like everything has its place and the world has narrative scale!
I did have some background music and sound effects bookmarked, but just couldn’t quite get them in on deadline. Agree on the skipping seen text thing as well; it’ll require a bit of overhaul of the dialogue system, but it would make for a better play experience.
