This is definitely a lot different than most entries, quite a unique submission!
I didn't really get what I was doing until the end, but once I saw that I thought it was quite a nice idea, a short description of what the end goal is before the start could be of great help. I'll ay this was not quite my cup of tea, but the concept is quite unique, and I can see how the theme and gameplay could appeal to plenty others.
The art and music used was really lovely, and it's always great to see historical themes of any kind!
