Great start to a interesting narrative! Excited for chapter 3!

For one positive, one negative:

The puzzle was cool, and figuring it out felt immensely satisfying. It isn't too straight forward, but also is easy to connect. Very balanced and interest.

For a negative, it's probably an artifact of being a jam. But I loved the environment art, but the non-animated translating characters, despite being in style with the rest of the game, did look a bit silly. With the chapter 3 expansion, i presume thatll have more detail though.

Great submission Nice job!

Thank you so much for your comment! We’re glad to hear the puzzle feels balanced, and regarding the busts, we’re planning to add more expressions in the future so they aren’t as static. Best regards! :)
