Thanks so much for checking it out and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment! I'm so glad you had fun with it :3
Tbh, it's a concept I'd like to explore in more detail sometime but in a different sorta scenario since this one was wrapped up in a lil bubble to fit the restrictions of the jam. I had a lot of fun with it though, so it would be cool to dive a lil deeper into that sort of dynamic with some brand new characters :D
The ‘kidnapper' was heavily inspired by Jeritza from Fire Emblem, so that's why there are heavy hero X villain vibes in there, hehe. I loved Jeritza's character so much, but I was always left wanting more from the interactions with him x3
I'm glad you liked the troll ending cos I was a lil worried it might be viewed as too random or silly x3 but I just wanted to diffuse some of the tension from the rest of the story and explain some of the cheesy dialogue and such, haha. In the back of my head when I wrote the original O2A2 jam script, the troll ending was kind of the true ending to me, but I never really like to list stuff as ‘true’ just cos it's more fun for people to decide themselves what they'd like the truth to be!
Your comment also really cheers me up after I saw recently that someone left a bad rating on the game saying that the characters have no charisma x3 It means a lot that you thought the opposite <3
