Great kinetic novel. Played through this the other day. Really enjoyed it. The writing and general feel is gripping and otherworldly. I felt there is a cerebral feeling to the prose and a fragile feeling to the presentation, which added to the overall vibe.

The art and music are a great fit. As is all of the use of timings, typography, formatting. I guess it was made for a 1 asset type jam. Perhaps the limitations of the format have been somewhat influential in the fragile feeling I mentioned earlier. Either way it's a great experience. Oh and there are airships +1 for airships. Loved the weird steampunk magical material, allusions to body horror & long forgotten rituals.

(Not sure if/why the last couple of sentences are in bold, I tried to turn them back to normal weight but it has not seemed to work)

Thank you so much for playing, Sleepy Agents! I’m really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, writing and presentation!

And yes, this was on O2A2 visual novel, so 1 background, 1 sprite (I had none), 1 music track, 1 sound effect, and 1000 words of writing tops. (You should consider joining in next year if you can, I feel like it’s a jam you would really enjoy!).

It’s definitely something I couldn’t have managed without such a tight constraint; I wouldn’t have been able to pack in so much tone, imagery and worldbuilding through the fairytale-like storytelling otherwise.
