Excellent prose! I thought the way you did the worldbuilding was very cool, it paints a detailed picture of the culture and concepts while still being succinct. The portraits were very gestural and expressive as well!

Just wondering, is this the end of the game? “Continue…” leads to a game over.

This was really cool, although I feel like I understood very little of the story lol. Thanks for using dendry!

yes - technically it's bouncing you back to the hub scene, and running out of scenes at that point. I think there's an ending tag that would kill that Continue... prompt, but I forgot.

haha, I'm good with oops all vibes. thanks for the jam!
