It's a COVID-aware story! Compelling and well told; puts me in mind of Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, but with a super creepy supernatural vibe (love the snakes). The sprites are really endearing and I got very attached to the characters. Things like the mosquito on the text box were a nice touch. I thought the sprite animations were excessive at times, though, when it's things like Magdalena carrying Selah and you can just see the flat bottom edge of the sprite. That's a really small thing though.
