I really liked the way this game looks. I think this could be a really cool way to tell a story. I don't fully know what your original plan was for the story and I'm kind of intrigued from the vibe alone (which is a really good thing :) ). 

It looks really promising, it's a shame you weren't able to finish it the way you wanted. I would really consider finishing this after the jam.  Good job!

Quite a innovative way to do environmental storytelling! Encourage player to click around, both for story as well as for progression. The art is amazing.

so cool! i loved the animations, the graphics, and the point and click concept.  Great work !I got stuck at a certain point, but I think that's what you were referring to in the description, right? https://gyazo.com/0d7f30f4bf2c47dc81538ca30d36a40c

Hi Nielisson! Thanks for the kind words! And yes we had to "wrap things up" pretty quickly so there isn´t a "proper" ending. Your image is the ending haha
