The mythology and story you chose for this was really interesting and different from the norm! It was cool to learn about a culture I was unfamiliar with. The Papinijuwari was a great character in the game. The voice was a lot of fun. The sprites were cute.  Everything seemed solid. No bugs. I felt like it needed a bit more action in addition to hiding, but overall was fun!

Thanks mate!

Cool game! I didn't run into any bugs or anything on my playthrough, game seems pretty solid. I thought the voice acting was fun, right there between intimidating and amusing for me, which I liked. The gameplay loop is pretty simple, but is well implemented.

Thankyou very much mate!
