Ah! Thank you so much for your comment and for your time!! I'm thrilled that it resonated with you.
Absolutely, I agree, the time jump is a tricky one to balance. I think if I had more time, I would love to tease things out (especially now since the jam was over). My hesitancy during the jam was that it was already hitting between 20 - 30 minutes for playtesters, and for a jam, I was a bit concerned BUT definitely feel like an update could add more.
I'll have a mull :)) Would love to know what ending(s) you reached? (There are 3 in total)
