This was a beautiful experience. I thought the hidden object part of the game would be very easy to get through but I was pleasantly surprised it increased in challenge as I progressed. The images were really pretty and detailed, which made looking for things all the more satisfying! The music was pleasant and paired well with the gameplay.
About the message, I didn’t really understand it at first but after reading your post about game design it added a lot more insight to what you were trying to convey. I thought you did a great job capturing the player’s attention through what limited gameplay mechanics there were. It’s a really nice feeling to learn something and to think/reflect after playing a game. I hope if you make a more mechanically complicated game someday, you’ll be able to continue to convey the same sort of ideas and feelings effectively through gameplay.
Made a video with my experiences. Keep up the great work!
