Hi! Firstly, thank you, thank you, for your compliments >< I was kind of worried because I didn't get to polish this as much as I wanted, but I'm glad it at least provided an experience you enjoyed^^ About the "-", yes that was a mistake on my part :') I should've used "???" but I thought that using the former was better, which led to confusing dialogue :'( Whoops, yes, there were times when the marker didn't show when she responded -- I'm sorry for how confusing that was ><
Then about the endings being very vague, I originally planned to have another mini-story after the player achieved their ending where they may choose another character to play, in favor of the optional theme: "more than one". That story would've explained why Elli was acting the way she was, and hopefully clear up any assumptions that the player might have had during the first playthrough. Unfortunately, I was being very ambitious already with the art, then stuff came up and I was unable to implement this into the final game :'(
Either way, I am really really happy you played my game, and had a great experience with it, despite everything >< Thank you, thank you!
edit: I apologize, there was some dialogue that I forgot to put a label ><
