This is super charming! I've played quite a lot of O2A2 VN Jam games and I haven't seen the character sprite used in the way you did with the dress-up doll vibe, so that was super cool! It makes you keep guessing what is going to happen next, because at first I thought the NPC-like strangers are the same person, but it turns out to be a stylistic choice which reminds me of fairy tales that tend to have repeating events with abstract characters. The MC reveal in one ending was a pleasant surprise.
