Hey, this was awesome! The four friends' distinct "voices" are established really well, and their personalities shine through even though we never see them. There's so much effort into making the dialogue play out with the rhythm of a real conversation—characters ramble about some details, argue about others, and interrupt each other in a way that feels so delightfully human. Despite their bickering, they're having a blast and making memories together—and the player gets to feel like they're right there with them.
It's awesome seeing an entry that's not just about something FROM folklore, but about folklore itself—like why we tell stories and how they can make us feel like we're a part of something bigger. And from a more practical perspective it's amazing you were able to convey all that with just a dialogue system and very minimal interactions!
Congrats on the great submission :D
