This was such a lovely game. The music, art, and writing really tied everything together. The best way to describe it was so truly poetic and sweet. This had a very meaningful message I think could be interpreted in a few different and wonderful ways. I am not familiar with the original greek tale, but even without that background I still felt connected with this game. Amazing work for the jam!
I'm glad you took the time to play it and that you felt it was poetic (this was what I was going for, but I have to admit it is not my comfort zone) so I am glad I succeeded, even if only a little bit! Yes! The message kind of works in two ways, and no interpretation is wrong honestly, cause even I am split on which one I feel is 'canon' and ambiguity was also sort of the point- also 1k words is brutal for me.
I'm surprised not many people are familiar with the Narcissus tale, I thought it was fairly common, but I am happy to introduce you to it? (Though this take of the tale is a lot more light hearted lol) I'm glad you connected with it, and that you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the kind words! ;_;
