It's a very good fit for the theme, I was missing a couple of quality of life features, such as speeding up the typewriter speed on the text and finishing the current text when clicking. It was a bit hard to get too invested in the story and the ending felt very abrupt. I was actually mid jump when the screen froze me and the credits began to scroll across the screen, which was unintentionally hilarious.

The game is small, enjoyable and has a story. I agree with the suggestions for improving the game below. I would like to add a small suggestion to randomly change the pitch of the sound of the continue button, which is pressed frequently and the same sound gets boring. Good job!

An atmospheric story-telling game.  It was nice although it felt that there was a plan for the "storm part", since there is a jumping mechanic present.

Suggestion:
- All of what MrJackphil mentioned.
- Maybe an alternative sound for Continue button?
     - And, possibly conversation sounds? (Dont Starve pipe sounds or Animal Crossing chatter).  Although it can be an impossible thing to do in a short amount of time

I enjoyed the game, the story . Atmosphere was nicely presented. The feeling of calm before the violence is greatly shown. Visually game is looking appealing and music is helps to set the tone.

Some feedback from me:
- didn't understand why platforming mechanic was presented, I feel what it would be nicely played as a VN
- it's hard to tell when you have a collision wall and where you can walk through... the wall you need to jump at first... I thought there was a bug and I can't walk further... for whatever reason I wasn't able to jump on it right away
- pixel size inconsistency in art... it wasn't that bad as it happens sometimes but it's noticable by some
- the text revealing can be faster or allowing player to reveal it immediatly would be great. Animation makes dialogs a little bit tedious to watch.
- I had a feeling what there were some filler texts which had no impact on the dialogue meaning. Those could be excluded without harming the experiece and even improve it by focusing player on some concrete phrases and ideas.

I've enjoyed the game and this large feedback block was made because I want ideas and games like this to improve upon themselves  :)

Man, was that a moving bit. You definitely feel the impending feeling of violence and bloodshed coming up just by walking around and conversing with the locals. I really like how you present various fantasy archetypes and their supposed array of feelings they have before an actual war starts. It also feels grounded and impactful with both exposition, story, and emotion intertwined together when conversing with the NPCs until the end, where the outcome of the war is left ambiguous with only the dreary cries of battle to be left with. The choice of audio was stellar for this game, really feeling the weight of mournful dread whilst also seeing a slimmer of hope that they can make out of this alive.

The only two things I found off was the scaling of the sprites and the lack of clarity of the environment in terms of platforming. Using pixel art, the NPCs' sprites are pretty obvious that they were scaled, leading to mismatching pixel sizes, especially the prince who was shrunk in order to look smaller than the King. Outside of the art style, the environment often doesn't communicate well what's a wall, what's a platform, and what's foreground. The most prominent example is the first building the player needs to jump over to meet the second NPC. It's not a full building segment that blocks you but instead a balcony with many boxes underneath, which are the same boxes used for the foreground with no color changes. This led to many struggling attempts of platforming when the edges of the platforms are hard to identify.
