omg i'm so glad you finally played it🥺 your opinion means a lot and i'm happy you liked it!
i know some charactres need more than one appearance to be rememberered, but it was a jam game so i was limited on time:((
i'm especially happy that you you didint expect (you know who😉) being a villain, I really love that scene, it was so fun to write:)
Since you played all important games of GANA series, i hope you won't be confused by future games😅
by the way, did you see both endings?
Aaa I'm sorry it took me a while to get to it ;w; Aw you're too kind! Also, I think for a jam game, to have as many characters referenced in this was pretty impressive! I'm just bad at remembering names haha;; And yes!! I got both endings, and I was pleasantly surprised at how different they both turned out to be!! I felt so bad for "you know who" in the one ending, but it also felt hopeful ; _ ; I really like Westwood's character, bc he jokes so often about being old and leaving things for the next generation..it feels like he's actually a really soft/sweet guy under that gruff exterior :3
you saw right through him - he's short-tempered and sometimes makes scary faces, but that kinda professional habit of playing "the bad cop" lol. (Also he's a cat person and loves sweets.)
You probably the first who actually showed pity to you-know-who, it seems people dont like her... And i was even more shocked that everyone liked Ben Weeds😅
spoilers 4 anyone reading!

I really sympathize with people who are mentally ill, so maybe that's why I felt the way I did about that person. I liked how you handled the topic, especially how sensitive it can be- it felt realistic in a way, despite the supernatural parts- also, I love how Westwood has a kitty, and his banter with Rogers was cute and friendly, overall a nice experience! As for Ben, I was a bit disappointed he wasn't seen again, but may his cracked out/ drunk soul rest in peace 😔

i intended it to be more ambigous about youknowwho being mentally ill. You see, in that world spirits of the dead are a common thing, and people who can hear them(like Aurinko) are not called crazy, just perceptive and sensitive. But if you talk about seeing evil entities crawling dark streets... then welcome to the psychiatrist🙄. All we know that she was diagnosed with having hallucinations... And in our world people assume that diagnose = illness 100% of the time, which is kinda sad😥
also i wanted to show Ben more than one time (and Emily, and the mayor, and the captain), but the game was already big enough for the jam entry. If you're intrested, i posted in my progress thread some facts that werent mentioned in the game. I can copy them all and send to you in dms, if you want🙂
