I was a bit worried I'd come off too critical, if anything I liked it enough to have my perfectionism surface and think hard on how could it be even better, happy you took it as such. Solo dev alone can be difficult, but to have all the other areas, design and writing, it's impressive. Hope to continue seeing your work!

I came with no expectations, and I got here wanting more. Thanks for making this!
It's surely not the high-profile kind of premium-indie game, but certainly has character. Not a whole lot of art but what's there is decent, though backgrounds are mostly rather low res, Timber is nice and fairly consistent. Story is captivating and quite down to earth in a good sense, I like how it's not super predictable, like when it takes a few dialog screens to realize what's really happening. Dialogue is enjoyable, a bit on the repetative side at times, playing it in a few sittings to the current end feels like the "you're weird", "but I can eat you" comes up quite concentrated. Sure it's the elephant in the room, but maybe I'd have liked a bit more variety early on, I still enjoyed it in the end. I also found the joke-bickering quips a bit much at the start, it either grew on me or it got funnier over time, it can be penty hilarious, and turn to be the game's thing. MC and Timber are both enjoyable with some reasonable development as chapters come.
I feel like there's a lot more to explore here, like if we ever find out what they are, what's the hunters' game is. Maybe get more context on what's in characters' head, morality of Timber killing, but also liking it, what makes them so interested in us, just how much of a relationship could unfold with all the differences, etc. So I guess I'm interested in the world :D
Oh yeah, haven't checked a setup other than male MC female Timber but kudos for doubling some effort to make it as much of everyone's thing as you can.
All in all, I would totally crash my car to date IRL Timber.
