DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH AND ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!! also the fact that his body wasn't found gives me some hope that maybe he'll show up in the later acts, but that just makes me even sadder for mc who quite literally is living thru each day w the same kind of mindset even tho the chances of him coming back are non existent(lowkey reminds me of the plot of astro boy AND THAT MOVIE SHATTERED ME AS A CHILD)
ALSO LOVED HONEY TRAP AS WELL
I do agree that while I was hoping that the Dark Queen would have a more fulfilling ending, I still think she was able to achieve this change.
As you said, "Change doesn't have to be something massive, changing little things is still change," and for her, she's stated multiple times that she was fated to be the Dark Queen and that nothing will change this. She even tries to get the hero to accept this "truth," but as time goes on, she slowly starts to falter, to the point she questions why the hero is so confident she can be defeated. At this moment, she's already questioning what she believes to be indisputable.
She has also mentioned that there have been others who have tried to bring her down, and still, she's never had to put in any effort. But in the last battle with the hero, she is seen giving her all, something she probably has never done before, which is another change that she experiences that disrupts her normal routine of things.
In her last moments, as she's coming to terms with the fact that her end is near, and it's thanks to the hero, she can accept her death. I think the fact that the hero was able to change her mind about having to stay with this undying, unforgiving tyrant is the change she needed , and while bittersweet, I think the ending was very fitting.
I also just wanted to say I played your other game, The Dark Queen of Mortholme, and honestly, it was so well made. Not only was the art very aesthetically pleasing, but the storyline was so good and all of it came together beautifully. As cheesy as it may sound, despite the way life has beaten me down lately, after seeing the way the ending played out for the Dark Queen, I finished playing the game feeling very hopeful for what may come in the future. Hope was something I thought I had lost and wouldn't find for quite some time and I want to say thank you for that.
thought I could find something funnily ironic abt this game, seeing as I'm coming up on month 2 of unemployment and becoming anxiously desperate after getting no responses, only to find out this game is literally me 😭😭 after getting fired, I tried drawing as a "hobby," maybe hoping I'd get better at it, try to find something on youtube right before I go to bed so I'd have something to distract me, only for an ad to pop up and think how good it would be if I could time travel so I can fix the mess it is I call my life.
OMG FOUND THIS 2 DAYS AGO AND IT WAS SO GOOD I HAD TO BUY EARLY ACCESS I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE STORY AND CHARACTERS THIS IS AMAZING !!!!!
