Hello, LJEphr! First, I just wanted to say that is totally normal, sometimes I don't receive notifications from Itch.io either. And i also apologize for the late reply! I was very busy these days. But I read what you commented days ago and thought about it. I had some thoughts in mind, I just didn't have the time to actually type full replies, unfortunately, ahah. At least we have time until the next update, but again, I'm sorry for the late replies! I hope we can still share theories after each update and so on.
And please, do share the link to the video! I'm very curious and i would like to see more of your vision. I managed to get into the files of the game per your recommendation and also managed to get some other thoughts of my own,
I'm curious to know yours. I will answer your comments one by one below, I believe it will be more organized that way.
