Yup definitely nothing weird happening :)
Nice to know what you thought of it and I'm glad you liked the artwork too!
Creating the right music to convey the atmosphere I wanted took some time because I was struggling to find inspiration for my part of the tracks but I'm really proud of the results. Thanks for the feedback too, the minigames aren't as polished as we'd like them to be mainly due to the time constraint and I hope the rest of the game made up for it! We made sure to build little hints into the game so the endings don't feel forced. I looked up In Stars and Time and it definitely looks interesting!
Thank you for playing!!! We cooked up lots of ideas for a story during Campfire for the them 'Beneath the Surface' and eventually settled on Maria's and Canary's story. Visual Novels tend to have a lot of artwork to do </3 so it was hard to get all the scenes and assets we wanted done in the time we had. We did the best we could to make the game enjoyable and we're glad you found it interesting!
