There is a lot to like here and I enjoyed it. It felt like an intuitive game with interesting theme and stories and an engaging gameplay mechanics.

Some thoughts:

A: Bug? Is the game actually supposed to close when I enter the boat? It does not for me but the dialogue gave me the impression it would. There is a available dialogue if I press "E", but I can also move in the world and get away from it. I hear sounds but everything is black. There did not seem to be a difference depending if I finished the game or if I did it immediately from the start.
Edit: Not a bug, black screen is normal.

B: Inconsistent dialogue. If I defeat the cone-head and head back to Väinö, he still talks about there being someone at the shore, which isn't true anymore. It's not a big thing but something I noticed.

C: Inconsistent hitboxes. I can't walk through trees but I can walk through rocks and some other things like the buildings next to chanterelles, the big tree with the mom and the characters. I would prefer that either everything stops me or nothing does, now it feels like I need to guess.

D: Some artistic choices. Personally I feel like the water "updates" too quickly, I would make it slower. Perhaps the grass also. The game felt also a little too dark in the end, but maybe I would find it fitting after more playtime.

E: The inclusion of emotional things was very very nice. The word play seems great. The music puzzle was good but it took a little bit of time to understand. Nice art, nice characters. Maybe Marjukka could have a visible kantele in the small dialogue picture also, I think it would be a good addition since it is an important object.

Good job and thanks :)
