Thank you so much for the kind words, Joy!! fdgdfgd You saying that my works feel like a "puzzle/sandbox" brings me so much joy, you have no idea (no pun intended)! I really appreciate "full," well-rounded stories and worlds in fiction so I'm glad that's something that comes across in my work (even though it wasn't something that I planned in particular)!
(minor spoilers)
Haha, I think that you really caught onto the essence of each character! Ramil and Tala are opposites, but they're also two sides of the same coin - Ramil is the jaded guy with hard edges who's secretly a romantic at heart (with a cereal box toy around his neck), and Tala is a girl who looks and sounds like she lives in the clouds but has a much more grounded, mature perspective on the world than she lets on.
I'M GLAD THAT YOU LIKED THE DREAMS! Not going to lie, while it's not the main purpose behind them, I also wanted to add them in simply as an escape from the moldy apocalypse. Even though I love dystopian/apocalyptic fiction, it can get a little TOO dreary for me, sometimes!
Questions, mysteries and FEARS is a pretty accurate way of putting it! I'm really looking forward to answering those questions/mysteries...and, well, we'll see about the fears...
Thank you so much for playing!! I loved watching the playthrough! :)
