Aw man, I wish this was longer! You're such a good storyteller, drew me in with your writing instantly and you didn't even need a bunch of background visuals to do it. You really know how to set a scene with a smaller amount of resources and that takes talent. Even so, the game feels polished and put together nicely. Love the character art as well!
As a side note, I think it's wonderful how as a game dev you take the time to update people as you work and be openly communicative. It's very nice to see that with game devs nowadays.
I'm actually starving for more of your work! I'll be adding your other games to my queue. Do you have any projects in production atm? Do you make all this by yourself? You certainly have a way of writing that's magnetic and I just know if you created a full-length game, it would be a masterpiece. I hope you consider it one day!
