Notes from gameplay:

- Cool main menu page, simple yet effective design. Font works on main menu, but it's a bit hard to read when italicized in the control submenu

- Nice control reminders when first starting

- Very interesting art style!

- Nice use of boundaries to keep player within the game area

- Missing the music. Nice sound effects for footsteps.

- Intuitive dialog system

- Tragic story, told obliquely through dialog, well done in hinting at the story

- Clever reuse of the same scenes with different story elements

- Ghost got me. Unsure what to do. Retrying.

- Ghost got me again. Not sure how I'm supposed to get past her.

Beautiful art concept and bleak, creepy story. I might be missing something about how to progress past the ghost. Nice use of ambient effects like sound, fog and lighting.

Love when games intertwine 2D and 3D. This was a nice example of that. The story felt deeply personal and just as eerie. Well done.

The mood and tone of your game is well done. To walk through the world felt smooth and the sound design is really good. Also your fog effect was great. Solid entry I'm glad I tried.
