aaaa thank you!! This was honestly a surprise and I feel rly humbled jwj I'm so glad people ended up liking my silly little entry- I feel like I grow more with each gamejam, leaning lots of different things about game making and story stuff- it was a lot of fun!

Good job. The story is very good and polished. 

In term of art, gameplay and environment are perfect match.

Some dialog [2-3 dialogs] are over the frame, but overall is good.

If you have bgm or mermaid [siren?] sound, it will be better. 

Developer

thank you! I'm not sure what you mean by dialogue going over a frame, and I'm not sure what else a siren or mermaid would sound like (I've used some sounds already for the mermaids song itself/vocal) but thank you for playing!

Really enjoyed this one. Kind of a bittersweet ending, but another great game from you.
