This was excellent! Rowan and Jorin are very dynamic together, and the story was compelling. I found myself very curious about the worldbuilding and the journey that came before this one. It definitely feels very fleshed out and relatable. I may have teared up once or twice. :')
We are glad to hear you enjoyed our game. ^^ It was fun to try and make something short for a change.
Awesome game. Love Jorin and Rowan, super cute and hope they stay together forever. Got the good ending all by myself, so not hard to play at all. Gorgeous visuals and sounds, impressive world building and characters within just 30k words.
Thank you so much for playing, we are happy to hear you enjoyed our story! <3
