Awesome game, loved the concept and execution. Had a lot of fun, really scratched an itch in my brain that used to be scratched by text adventures, room escape games, CYOAs, point-and-click mystery games, and the like. Would definitely play more games in this style.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the lore, but I am intrigued by the implication "The Gate Opener" did more than just 'open a gate' (that their betrothed's death wasn't strictly an accident).
"May you find a [partner] that mixes and rises with you, like the smoke of a candle." Lovely!
