Frankly I'm just happy you were able to make something this year, even if you had to pull an all-nighter to do it!
I like the setup of a VN playing like an old Ultima game or text adventure, and the various paths that could occur in the game were surprisingly varied lol. I'm just happy I played as a mage so I could get home!
As always the voice acting is stellar! I especially like the voiced portal transitions and sound effects.
I also really appreciate the game being so short, I know you didn't have time for much else but in a big jam like this years it's nice to have something short but sweet.
I would've loved to have seen the mech game, but IRL issues can easily screw things up so its perfectly understandable. As for things that could improve this game I mean maybe some music, but beyond that any other changes would've ballooned development time too much.
Excellent work!
