This is awesome! Congratulations on your first game release - as far as I am concerned, this would be a very impressive submission even for an experienced team.
The main mechanic here is so cool and creative. You obviously put a lot of time and energy into mapping out the dialogue options - and I am seeing from other feedback that are multiple branching paths. So cool!
Your implementation of the existing font, art and dialogue manager was super seamless! I have seen plenty of ugly/janky games that cram in assets with no care at all, but you really built something thoughtful and artisti here! I would happily pay a few bucks for a longer version of this with more branching paths, characters, and a longer story. What you have here is wonderful - my favorite game of the jam so far!
