Oh, this one was very interesting regarding going around limitations! The mask on the Church on everything but the window to show just the outside with the moon, the extra stains on The Witch’s clothes (apparently stains are drawn and not programmatical but that seems allowed to add such small changes, like facial expressions, good to know), the gray filter become removed over time…

I tried both endings. There is not much change in the middle of the story, it’s all progressive… which is okay for such a short story (plus you had multiple branches, esp. the 3 background stories at the beginning, making you hit 997 words already).

I kinda missed The Grim’s sprite on the main menu (another clever trick to avoid using an extra sprite) so I had to imagine it myself (it was not that different, I suppose, although I imagined it quite bulky, more like a Cerberus guardian, at the beginning).

Ending 1 is quite the sudden change of pace, I now imagine The Grim like Elias in Ancient Magus’ Bride. Also extra effort from the VA for the deeper voice!

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to review. I really appreciate it! I had a cg with the grim planned for the end of game, but when I reviewed the rules, I noticed a cg wasn't allowed if sprites and backgrounds were used-but I am glad you had your own picture in your mind regardless 😁

Also, credit to Steph, the VA - she did a fantastic job ❤️
