Hello! Just letting you know the third jam has been announced and would love if you participated again since your entry was so amazing!

Thank you for the information! I might actually be able to make time in 22 days — my main next deadline should be over by then.

I tried to participate, but this year my time just ran too short. I’ll try to participate next year (there will be a jam 4, right?).

I really like the UI and the way it works with my screen reader. After I set the speed to the fastest option I could just focus on making choices and enjoying the gam because everything just read automatically.

I’m super-happy to hear that!

Do have a look at the about & copyright: that it works that well for screenreaders is to a good degree thanks to Robert Kingett and Random Songbird who tested the interface again and again to help get it working reliably.

Great writing with a unique and accessible interface.

Thank you!

I love the writing, it is very evocative and sparked my imagination!

It took me a little while to figure out the interface. I tried just pressing the number keys on my keyboard, before realizing I need to focus on the text input box and type in numbers like a command prompt. It was smooth sailing after that.

Nice work, I'm looking forward to future updates so I can find out more about the mysterious world and events in the story!

Thank you for your feedback!

Just pressing the number keys works when the game is opened outside the itch.io embed — something prevents it from taking focus in the iframe here.

You can try it at https://dryads-wake.1w6.org/sun

(But I have to refrain from updating until the evaluation is done)

Thank you for your feedback!

I have three more chapters planned, but writing always takes more time than I expect :)
