This was such a fun game! I really liked the dynamic the two leads had going with each other. The way you highlighted how well they worked together by having segments where either weren't present to show how much they would struggle alone, how they could (and did, for the last area) flex roles with each other, and just in general their banter was so funny to read. Their serious conversations were great to read as well, giving light to their deeper character without going too far into direct exposition - as well as you could for a game of this length, really. Era's character development was tied up so nicely at the end, love that for him :)
The game mechanics were great to tinker around with, though by the third-fourth area I quickly realised that gunning everything down with a crossbow was just the most efficient way of handling... everything, actually. I dunno, I found it fun watching Trip's damage numbers continue to just keep getting higher. Era's an amazing support to whatever the hell Trip wants to go off and do.
I have to say that reading Keiru's name kept making me chuckle because I kept thinking of the CoTO character with a one-letter difference, though. (ha)
