hahaha! Thank you so much! I am glad you and your gf enjoyed it <3 your description fits this game perfectly! I described this game as a mario64 and getting over it mix!!!
I love that you noticed those details!!! there are many more subtle details that no one has ever discovered and they never will! hehe. Those two you found out used to be children like us, the players, but seems like something bad happened to them ^^ I've written some lore on how everything came to be, why time stands still and why the inhabitants of this island are only children.. Let's say that it can be quite depressing so i'll leave it to that ^^ I don't want to spoonfeed anyone the lore, It's up for interprentation.
Again! Thank you so much for taking the time to play this game and write this comment! It made my day a little bit better <3
