Thanks, it's my first game jam and first web build game, when I looked up how to configure the game for a web build the instructions suggested that having sounds off by default was good practice. You're not the first to suggest I probably should have had it enabled by default.
Regarding the story, it was told to me and my family by war veterans, and is a story I had never heard before, or since. I think it's nice when little war stories like this get out and remind us that even at the worst of times there is still some faith in humanity.
