Really outstanding job. Thank you for sharing this ambitious project. I thought the storytelling and pacing were handled really so well throughout the majority of the game, even if the ending felt a bit abrupt. It felt open-ended but tragic and left quite an impact. I appreciated the way the story escalated with each interaction with the journal pages. I also liked the way you implemented some mechanical elements with the slingshot. They felt in-line with the tone of the game.
This would be a good project to polish up (working out the technical issues, perhaps the pacing at towards the end, and adding some sound.) Please let me know if you revisit it!
