(Tim) This makes for quite an effective fairy tale! It kind of reminds me of looking up different versions of traditional stories and imagine what-ifs.
There are essentially two main endings, and each of them works fairly well as a standalone story. I think I prefer the "pacifist" ending more than the other one, but both have a lot of merit.
I hope to see more work in this style! The music and art direction really came together in this one.
