Hey!
It for sure took a bit to realize that. But I don't think that it detracted from the game at all. I think it was a little bit hard to introduce given the story of the game, but it was super well put together.
Sign me up to be a play tester in the future. This was a super charming game that had a lot of heart to it. I am really excited to see where you go to from here :)
Keep up the awesome work!
