i loved this! it was really well done. looking forward to the updates, i can tell a lot of love was put into this.

i love the idea of it not exactly being Scary:tm:, but instead playing with the element of anxiety and overstimulation for its inducement of fear. super unique!

the colours were so tasty too, and they work well for the setting. the dithering was also a fun way to do backgrounds. i loved that it shifted every few seconds too, it's subtle, but it adds so much!

tarot is so fun to explore, especially in a setting like this. i loved the way the readings were described. spot on and well-informed. and of course, haunting! great choice of cards for this.

it's great when things are otherworldly but not to the point of it seeming outlandish to apply the meaning to real life. zoomorphism has a very special feeling of bordering on reality and supernatural topics. it's the kind of feeling i get when i go on a ghost tour.
but aside from that, it's about the themes of displacement and change that really stick out to me... it raises such interesting food for thought. the sense of belonging should be something one discovers on their own. the sense of self, is something only you can decide for yourself. being forced to change will backfire. but sometimes change still happens whether we want it to or not (due to disasters/accidents/etc). change isn't always good. and sometimes it means that the things we love will be left behind and buried in the past.
the writing nails the handling of change and what it means (both the good and bad aspect, with a leaning towards the bad/forced). it doesn't feel forced upon the reader either.

anyway. 10/10 superb work everyone! thank you for sharing this with the world. it took me about 15 minutes to read, which isn't bad at all and i feel that update you've spoken of will hit the sweet spot, so to speak.

thank you so much for enjoying our game! I was really inspired by "a midsummer night's dream" when conceptualising, and the ideas of forced "transformation" and nothing being as it seems. 
the protagonist also dehumanises everyone around them, whether out of stress or predjudice... they're definitely a very unreliable narrator and they were super fun to write!

i hope that you enjoy the final chapter when it releases!
