well-scoped, stylish, and mysterious. nice job!! 

I loved this story! You did so much with not a ton, which is so impressive. The writing was wonderful, i love the unique story and take on the promise, and how much you do with implication rather than exposition! the art is so atmospheric and i LOVED the gui. So well done!

I got sucked into the story so quickly. You created something that felt so real, and heartbreaking in such a little space. It's incredible! The player character and their struggle felt so real. I would love to revisit this world again.

Effective use of a short time period and small word count. I want more! What an intriguing (and heartbreaking) cycle.

Absolutely in love with the writing and narrative in this one!! Both endings were hard-hitting and impactful, and the parallels and foreshadowing were top-notch. The UI was beautiful, and the music really build the atmosphere - it’s super impressive to have composed a soundtrack with so much personality in such a short timespan, especially while juggling the other elements of what makes this such an impressive solo(ish??) project!

. . . (MINOR SPOILER)

Extra ingenuity points for the use of changing pronouns as a symbol of humanisation + the flickering “its” to indicate lingering doubt/hesitation. It came off very authentic.

The lore and history here was really cool.

You absolutely nailed the prompt - this was such a  fascinating story! 

OOOH love the worldbuilding in such a short amount of time!!! and the way u had the theme play out for the player is so good ahhh 

LOVED THE STORY A LOT!! You incorporate the theme so effectively in such a short time.
