Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarise your game!
Its a visual novel about a sword, trying to find its purpose, in a peaceful world. The mechanics are simple, and the story focuses of purpose and self exploration

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The game implements the theme directly, by the player being an actual sword. But I decided to add the spin of a peaceful world and searching for purpose, to create something more interesting.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
This is the first VN I made, its not perfect but for a VN in two weeks I'm proud. Usually I'm the programmer so any feedback on story and character design is welcome!

We love an anthropomorphized sword! Fun game! I counted 539 bricks! JK, this was really nice. A few typos here and there, but fun dialogue choices. I love that folks still make games like this when the more "eventful" varieties have become so much easier to make. Narrative is fun too!

I noticed that scrolling on my mouse would rewind the screens. Maybe that's intended in Ren'py but until I figured it out, I inadvertently replayed a few sections of dialogue one at a time.

Great work!
