I enjoyed that it had a positive outlook while not shying away from the darker subject matter.  I feel for this character's pain

The story is quite intriguing. Loved the music as well! I think this is one of the few entries that really focuses well on the story part, well done :)

What you've done here is quite fascinating. The mechanics and the metaphor of the river really drive home the message you're trying to convey. I found the art style along with the voice there quite powerful as well, making the whole work, the entire piece, really interesting.

Very good story. Mechanically, and speaking vaguely not to spoil anything for future players, I really liked how the lantern worked.
