Oh, it was an interesting game!! I appreciated getting to know more about Orion's life through the different choices and explore his relationship with Ethan! It really felt like getting to discover a piece of the relationship these two had and, while I would love to know more, I also recognise the point of the game was to keep this vagueness and ambiguity. When did they meet? Forever ago. They are like two flowers in the same vase, in a corner of the room, forgotten until they are someday thrown away together. While the relationship between them really had co-dependency vibes, it managed to be nuanced, far from being stereotypical. I enjoyed that!
The art direction of the game was great too! The sprites in shadow were very well drawn, and the white border around them was a neat addition to make them contrast with the BG. I suppose they were drawn on paper and then scanned? I appreciated how it somehow made the characters even less personal: who are they? Forgotten shadows in a vase, stuck together, having nothing but each other. For the better and for the worse. Congrats on making this game in such a short amount of time!!
