I listened to the Waning Crescent soundtrack on repeat while working on my own game this year (it's so good!!), and I got myself through the last few days of the deadline by telling myself I could play this one as a treat once I was done. I really love the way the writing and music come together to create the game's atmosphere, and I like how the text boxes are positioned so they don't hide the art.
It was also fun to see how I found myself slipping really easily into this new character. In Waning Crescent, I found myself making choices that I, as a player, normally wouldn't because I felt so drawn into Florian. And now here, I found myself doing the same thing, making choices that felt right for Tamás instead of me. I really admire the strong yet subtle sense of voice in both games that drew me into that headspace so quickly.
I loved seeing more of the court in this entry, too! The stuff with the Prince and the politics surrounding her have me so interested!! I'm so glad you decided to participate in the jam again this year, and I'll be looking forward to any further entries in the series if you decide to make them :)
