Great story intro, it was pretty funny. When I actually got into the game, I didn't know what was going on for a while. Some voice told me that they'd be my guide, but then didn't say anything else. I figured it out after a while, but if this isn't a glitch, this game could've benefited from an actual tutorial.

yeah, we recorded a lot but I ran out of time implementing. Thanks so much for playing. I am actively working on a post jam version with major improvements. I hope you can check it out after a couple months. 

thanks again,
