damn that was deep
Feels like I've found a hidden gem honestly. I absolutely love when people put so much effort into their story, and I can see some personal aspect that's put into it. Relatable stuff actually, really enjoyed it.
The gameplay is great, nicely balanced with the story so that there's enough of both. Basically keeps you entertained and allows you to enjoy the story at the same time. The mechanics are interesting too, got some nice puzzles there.
The art is pretty neat, kinda reminds me of this minimalistic flash animation style. And the music is soooo good, really enjoyed the atmosphere it creates.
Can't wait to see how the story continues, hope you'll successfully finish it!!

Wow, thank you so much! You pretty much got it spot on with the story. Bell is mainly inspired by aspects of myself, so the story feels very personal to me. I'm glad that the effort I put in came through on screen. :)
I'm also very glad you enjoyed the gameplay! I did attempt to strike a balance between the gameplay and the story, and although I'm not sure I struck it perfectly, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Art is definitely not my strong suit, so the style of the art was just based on what I knew how to make lol. Considering that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
It means so much that you enjoyed the music!! It's one of the aspects I'm most proud of, so it means a lot for it to be acknowledged.
I'm so happy you're excited to see it continue!! I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to keep people up to date on development yet, but I'll be sure to let people know on itch.io somehow. Your comment honestly just made my night lol. Thanks for playing :D
