Heyyo! There's actually a lot of story, which heavily involves the burning of the tree, that we didn't get time to squeeze in!
There's a lot of unwritten lore about said tree, why it has significance here and ties together a lot (and i do mean a whole lot) together!
We're stoked you enjoyed the game! Hats off to the dev for being able to do all she did within 2 weeks!!! :D
