Amazing game!  

The dialogue between the Queen and the Hero was really interesting! I don't know how to put it into words, but it's very human and both opponents appear as likeable people, even though one is the Evil Queen of Status Quo and the other is a merciless embodiment of Entropy. Their verbal spat is fun and very detailed in showing the slow process of Hero's progress.

The artstyle is drop-dead gorgeous, pixel artwork that is minimalist without being simplistic. The design of the Queen's claws and hammer, the Hero's shadowy profile that just screams "I am coming to kill you", the fantastic Gothic stained glass... 

It really sucks that the Queen couldn't change her ways and befriend the Hero. But I feet that's a major point of the game. A existential tragedy you can see, but cannot avoid. Would be nice for someone to write a fanfic with a happy ending though :( 

Thank you so much for making this game and good luck in your future endeavours! :D

Thank you for the very thoughtful comment!

The way I headcanon it myself is that what the Queen and the Hero did get to have was a fully realised relationship, weird as it was and not meant to last. They saw each other for who they truly were and were irrevocably changed by their time together--for the better, one could argue (when death is viewed metaphorically). Not exactly a classical happy ending, or even one that shouldn't be mourned, but not entirely unkind either.

Such a beautiful way to put it! If viewed metaphorically, it is not as tragic and, perhaps, a bit more hopeful! Because if the Queen just dies there, her change in understanding had little meaning in the grand scheme of things. But if this is to be taken as, perhaps, a shortly-lived relationship, like one would have in real life, then her change would impact both herself and the world even after the end of her and Hero's relationship! This is what one would call "cope", but your canon accounts for it ;)
