Pros
- Absolutely stunning visuals! I loved the art style! I'm amazed by them!
- Very fitting and interesting music! Now I got the main song stuck in my head!
- Great use of the magical realism theme. Although you were inspired by a film, you managed to create a very interesting and unique story.
- The way the story is told is very interesting and it pushes you to keep moving forward to learn more about the plot.
Cons
- As others have probable mentioned it, losing and being sent back to the very beginning can be quite frustrating. A checkpoint before the spikes would have been a great addition. I understand that this was intentional because of the metaphor of a life ending and a new one beginning; however, this might deter some players from keeping to play. The vision and original intention of a dev is important, but sometimes we have no choice but to give up on certain concepts because they end up affecting the reception and the playability of our projects (happens to me all the time).
Overall: an amazing work, with absolutely beautiful visuals, a really engaging plot and a great implementation of the magical realism theme. Yes, a bit frustrating at times, but still, you did a great job and you should be proud of yourself and your fantastic work!
