Every choice made in production, from the fingers-drumming-on-thick-glass tone during dialogue to the 2000s-style game UI, made for such a unique and charming experience of a game!! I love the dreamy art direction and aesthetics, I loved the natural way the characters speak, I love the soft worldbuilding of the songbird angels, it's all so good!!!!!
You have an amazing understanding of how to establish tone!! Everything from the vintage advertisements, the wording and vocabulary of the questions, and the shifting ambience worked wonders to make the player feel uneasy. Also loved the tonal whiplash once I got my answer. My favourite moments had to be the red flashes, though. My hands are sweaty and my breathing is fast. Hope you're having a good day :D
This was such a fun game!! I adored the subtle details that helped flesh out the characters. Gerda feels like such a sweet girl, with her fondness of little things like certain candy and the smell of freshly cleaned clothes, how she wants to remember her parents' house, and her admiration of her friend, Margot. I really rooted for her and wanted her to get away from Joseph. Even then, Joseph charmed *me* with his gifts and poems for Gerda, and his joke about playing "finders keepers" with the money. I didn't believe him when he dismissed the gun, job termination, passports, and money, but I pretended to anyways. I just didn't want to make him mad. So immersive! I really felt like I was put in Gerda's shoes during the confrontation.
