Pros
- Amazing visuals! Fantasy pixel art!
- Perfect implementation of the magical realism theme!
- The story was simply amazing: it started as an innocent fairy tale and then it took a really dark turn. I won't give spoilers for those who haven't played yet, but there are some amazing and creepy visuals and events (certain character's true form looks very Lovecraftian!)
- Sounds and music were fantastic!
- Really nice puzzles! The first one (the clock one) was my favorite.
Cons
- I encountered a game breaking bug during my first playthrough. When my character was going east and listened to the song, the game froze and I had to reset. It only happened one time, but I thought it would be good to let you know.
Overall: amazing game, with fantastic pixel art, an amazing soundtrack, and a really dark but interesting story!
I'm sorry about your loss, I also lost my grandmother (as well as my grandfather) not so long ago, so I understand what you must be going through.
I'm sure she would be proud of your work and being able to turn the story she told you into an amazing game!
