I am loving the use of time in this game! Really teaches you to be patient and goes nicely with the writing! In some parts it's almost too long and can be a bit annoying, but i am loving the execution otherwise. Great use of environment through text and transitions, definitely changes the tone of the story.
I would love to see what illustrations you incorporate. I almost wonder if it will lessen the effect of the timed text. Perhaps playing with transition times for the images will be useful.
Super excited to see how this ends up!
