How solemn but oddly comforting story. I mean it did make the idea of sleep little less appealing at the moment, but like said, oddly it left with a comfort. Art was great, maybe in my dark room I would have loved it all little more darker, but I think that's just a me-problem, since looking at the CGs again, they are really neat. 

Good job on this, and congrats on the first published game (and submission to game jam) :D

Short but interesting story! Loved the art style.

I played through the three different endings. I feel like the transition from the end to the title menu was missing something as it seemed a bit abrupt (but maybe that was the point).

I did run into an error. "Couldn't find 'Beadside2.png'." was displayed on the screen (see image).

Overall it was fun, wish it was a bit longer!

Oh, wasn't expecting a review so fast, thank you very much for your kind message!

I will admit the game is quite rushed and I mainly focused on trying to make something that's at least comprehensible, but I shall keep that in mind should I ever expand the game in the future!

As for the error, could you please tell me whether it was a problem that persisted throughout the game, or only at specific segments (and if so, where exactly)?

I'm asking because I tested it again after reading your review and all assets showed up fine for me.

Of course!

The error message persisted pretty much throughout the game, at least when it was during the same location of the image I shared.

Not sure if it matters but I'm on a Mac.

Hope that helps!
