A very nice calming experience, I quite enjoyed the game. I agree with Tharuka about iteration with map elements, if you do work on if after the rating. It would be a very pleasant touch. Great entry! I look forward to seeing what you make next!

Great game, really interesting concept. Since this is a narrative focused game, I think the plot could be a little more "dynamic" or "varied"...? (hard to explain, just personal opinion so please ignore me if I have no idea what I'm talking about) Regardless, this is a really solid game.

Nice match between theme and mood and art, really comes together quite well. You could consider adding a bit more feedback into mouse-overs and UX things like that.

wholesome, nice sound, reminded me of Unpacking in many ways. Would love to see a bit interaction with map elements

It might have been on our minds since we referenced it while chatting a few weeks ago! Nice catch :D
