This is one of the best implementations of the jam's theme, you really managed to make it a central gameplay mechanic. I love everything about this game, the visual style, the audio, the whole idea behind the gameplay. I got stuck at a certain point, but I will make sure to come back to it.
If I had to pick one thing to improve, it would be the text, because the font is sometimes hard to read (which you also pointed out in the dialogue) and there are a few grammatical errors.
Overall, a good-looking, polished game with a consistent atmosphere. You just got a new follower, will be looking forward to your future projects.
