Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I definitely want to look into forking endings and greater consequences for choices.
There were only a few places that I wanted to restrict choices in favour of experiencing the full story.
I'm not sure I understand your take on the Grootslang returning, but am so happy about different interpretations. I tried to stick lots of symbols about.
Thanks again and I'll definitely be taking this on board if I manage to do a 1.1 :)
