 I dig the atmosphere and artstyle a lot. Good job.

I think the artstyle is wonderful in this one. The mechanics are on the lighter side, but complement the theme, both of the game and the jam, really well, and leave enough space for all the visual flair.

I have to say I totally agree with my teammate on the quality of the game. The use of the theme is amazing. The art style is beautiful. I like the music, but I think the sound and music weren't high enough. I had to crank up my volume to hear anything. Gameplay is on the easy side, but is very fun none the less.

And I just love game that does "Risk vs Rewards" mechanics, and you did it so well.

I loved the art and the concept of this game. And it definatly is fun. It just felt like the human character didn't have enough things to do, besides recharging your sanity. But it was nonetheless fun :)
