The plot make me related. Right it's all true that sometimes I may focus on the unnecessary part of the game and procrastinate for days and foget to really develop the major mechanism of the game, and sometimes that feels tiring. Game do need some art, but if we don't have much time, "Enough is enough" _(:з」∠)_ keeping it simple is also good, as long as the game do have creative mechanisms✓
The style of this game feels like the game "there is no game" . Guess you must have played that lol. However, your story are representing a real experience, which makes this plot feels more authentic and moving √
By the way, I use Godot as well lol (about a month's learning) . Rarely seen in the Jam because most of games are made in Unity my bad, actually there's still lots of people using it 🤣. (For music I personally also recommend LMMS. You may try it out later ; ) However this game's music is pretty good too 👍 lol)
