This game is such a visual treat Milo!! I love all the effects you've added, everything from the backgrounds and UI must've taken quite a lot of work!
*theorizing* I'd like to think the traveler is an ancient ancestor of Fletcher which is probably why he's so handsome. Even if this demo is very short, I'm so curious about the details between Gale and Zephyr and whether a major conflict occurred! I was also surprised that the magpie stuff descends from royalty? The use of "we" and all that stuff Fletcher did made me think it was like a pagan cult lmao.
I can't wait for the rest, I think the most interesting thing is definitely the lore and I'd love to learn more!!
