Really fun use of an unreliable narrator! It's a little rough in the beginning when it slammed me with a large number of characters, but once it got going it was cool how the mystery narrative developed.

Really enjoyed the way it dropped hints at the plurality reveal. The way Polly was done was awesome (being a child, but into games that sound a little suspicious for a child to be into, but also there's a real child in the game). Luci was really interesting as well because at first the way they (forgot pronouns sorry) would just randomly appear in scenes felt like bad writing, but then the "bad writing" ended up being the biggest hint that multiple characters in the cast are sharing the same brainspace. Anyway, nice work.

exquisite vibes, good stuff

That was a lot of fun. Trying to understand how the themes tie together and what really happened made my brain go really fast. 

Absolutely crazy layered concepts going on in here, like the Shinto shrine turned into a Buddhist temple turned into a Christian school... Unreliable narrator and unreliable meta-narrator and unreliable narrative... Patchwork doll and the patchwork human.... The anti-mystery bit is really fun too. 

That was great! It felt like playing Animal Well again. The moss sticking slightly to walls is very satisfying. 

What a fantastic, well-polished little game! Love the graphics and enemy designs. Honestly this feels like it's made by a professional game studio instead of approximately 2 people. This is my first time playing bump combat, and it was fun learning the positioning and movement - the combat balance felt a bit like playing Undertale in the later regions. Took me 4.5 hours to beat because I'm rather mediocre at video games. I turned on all the easy mode options (the existence of which is very much appreciated). 

Really awesome work. Thanks for putting this out into the world. 

What an incredible little game. I played it when it first came out years ago and I'm still thinking about it even now.

Oh, what a lovely little story! It really captures the feeling of meeting with someone you can't see often because they live far away.
