Really, thank you for saying all this. For a long time I've wanted to make games that are not just mechanically pleasant, but also offer "something more". Having a player/reader/listener/watcher immerse themselves into an experience which involves mind, soul and body all at once - I really think videogames are the perfect fit for this purpose, like no other media that exists. It's just a shame how some people will never open up to the idea of that, especially with the modern game trends where human psychology is mercilessly exploited with the intent of gaining revenue and playtime. Rather than opening up the way towards deeper parts of self, more often than not games block it off, thoughtlessly, so as nothing can interfere with the player "experience" pipeline and metrics.
Sorry for using vague terms, I've thought about stuff like that for a long time but haven't organized it so well just yet. I'm really happy you were able to enjoy the game beyond mechanical fun, even beyond aesthetics, and after watching you play it for ~2 hours on Twitch I'm still questioning your sanity - meaning you're definitely the target audience (I'm only kidding, but seriously, I don't think just anyone can stream jam games daily for 10+ hours at a time. When I used to do streams I'd get tired and end the day after like 3 hours lol)
Again, thank you for playing and the kind words! I'll definitely watch you play through the rest of the game if you decide to do so, today was a bit hectic due to new year prep and tea'ing the only working keyboard, but maybe some other time ^^ Happy new year, and happy holidays!
