I like the overall style - it appears you might've run out of time (or I'm not understanding the objective) but I hope you keep going :) Some recommendations from the snippet I saw: 1) adjusting the UI so that there is enough padding for the dialogue text 2) a little controls tutorial might be nice - with these jams, swapping between WASD, arrow keys, and mouse is a mind boggle, 3) polishing the narrative so that it hand-holds the player less and there is more mystery and depth. Keen to see how you develop this!

How does your game fit the theme?
Our game 'Embrace Yourself' embodies the theme 'Diving Deeper' on multiple levels. Players are immersed in the emotional depths of the protagonist's psyche, unraveling layers of their identity and emotions. As the story progresses, players delve deeper into the character's inner turmoil, making choices that lead to profound self-discovery.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
While we did not create all the assets from scratch, we carefully curated and modified freely available visual assets, including tilesets and sprites, to suit the unique visual style of our game. These assets have been properly credited in both the read-me file and the game's description. Our team focused on crafting a compelling narrative, designing intricate puzzles (which we weren't able to implement yet), and fine-tuning the gameplay mechanics to deliver a memorable and immersive experience.
