There is a very particular, special kind of oddness that permeates certain small seaside towns, and this is honestly the first time I think I've seen that represented so well! Absolutely adored this start to finish; the character and monster designs are both phenomenal, the story is strong, well-written, and intriguing, the music melodic and whimsical--and I practically shed tears of joy when I found I could skip the fishing mini-game, because for reasons unknown fishing mechanics are my perennial bane, hahaha.
(Additionally: I see that Pan's Labyrinth easter-egg! Or rather, heard it! 💚)
My only--admittedly greedy--complaint is that after falling in love with all the cast of characters, I was left wanting more of the ensemble interactions at the end; though then again, I still wouldn't be ready to let them go. ✨ Such wonderful work, team--one of my favorites of the jam by far!

To the lovely team of BRS, thank you so much for giving TSUL a chance and leaving behind your super sweet review, our dev team was so happy to read it and honored as well (we LOVE Tell It Slant). 💙
If you don't mind me asking, which build was downloaded? We recently pushed 1.4 which had the fishing minigame difficulty reduced but if it was 1.4... we still have some work to do. 🤣
And our VA Jonna-Lynn was SO happy to see someone has caught the reference! 🎶
Thank you again. This means the world to us! Happy Spooktober!
