Thanks for playing, and the lengthy review!!
The browser critique about the pixelated sprites actually reminded me that I never updated the progressive downloads file ^^; So I'm especially grateful for that-- hopefully it's more seamless now! And the particle suggestion is interesting!! I'm not quite sure how to do that in Ren'Py right now, but I'll definitely look into it if I ever revisit this.
I was also personally worried about whether or not the GUI looked good enough, so those comments also mean a lot to me :) I hoped you enjoyed your time in the attic! Thank you again!
