Well, it's definitely a good prototype for a dialog story-driven experience.
Honest review: The writing and the story feels genuine and has heart, BUT, I have to be honest, I also feel like you made most of the project and at some point you artificially added a somewhat controversial theme over it. Unconsciously or not.
The cussing at the end with the Koala also felt a little off being the whole story was 100% wholesome at that point. And being you already subverted expectations with the plot (I wont spoil), I dont feel it was necessary to also break that line throwing a bunch of F bombs, at least by how the script was built upon that moment.
Anyway, dont take me wrong, I really feel this would be a solid entry, including the dialog, but the american politician theme whatever thrown over felt like an unnecessary addition to the real story you made.
cheers!
