that's really cool!! nii was the one who had the original story idea & we just developed off of it so i personally haven't seen any stories on this :0 but yes, i was expecting the twist to be rather obvious LOL the point of the story is not in the twist but rather its connection to our current society/the social commentary it makes (on corruption, the theme of the jam) :D all of the characters are strikingly imperfect, hypocritical, and even naive based on which ending you go through and what words you notice. there are also a bunch of references to stories we all know about, like fairytales/etc., that i hoped would help unravel some commentaries in the story !!
could you link the reddit story though? i'm kinda curious to see it hahah
by skip mode, did you mean fast-forwarding dialogue? if so, it was with the escape key before, but we removed it due to wanting to add a pause menu instead (we never did). :') there's an easter egg to skip all the minigames though!
