It's a really nice intro and the art is just gorgeous! I'd love to make maps like these in the future^^
Though unfortunately I wasn't able to come far. After getting stranded, the player just kept spinning the entire time. I couldn't move at all. And it seemed like the guy who had joined your party in the flashback was still following you, despite being somewhere else.
Anyway, the art is great and I would love to see more of it^^
