I'm here after attending the livestream with MisterShins and the developer team Q&A! I was able to watch from after the first bumblebear encounter up to the very end of stream, and from my shared experience with everyone who tagged along, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite entries of the whole jam.
It's an incredibly wonderful, excitable, curious, and dare I say cozy VN. I remember the developers mentioning that it was a surprise so many of us had found it cozy, but I think it's because the beautiful blend of writing, artwork, and music all come together to create a story that many who mindfully choose their answers will come to enjoy. I almost don't want to know what an alternative ending could be, because the message left with us at the end of the livestream left me with a very strong sense of resolve and contentment. But I am just as much as a "silly" player as I am a well-intentioned one. I fear only death awaits me. LOL
Just, well done. It's fantastic. Kudos to everyone who worked on this project. It is certainly something to be proud of.
