What a gem this is! You really made the most of every word and every asset, and brought them all to a perfect polish. Even knowing what I do after playing both endings (ouch), I can’t help but wish Juniper well.

Really enjoyed the writing and overall vibe of this. Great voice acting, too. Amazing what can be done in such short time and with the limitations!

Wow, this was so incredibly stunning and haunting! I love love the glowing and flickering animation (in both the menu and the sprite), the menu sound effect scratches my brain right lol. The GUI is so polished, and I love the painterly art style! And omg the writing is so descriptive and evocative for the given limit, I caught the hints of foreshadowing alluding to the twist in the second playthrough, so genius. Absolutely amazing work 100/10

Really liked the text effects! And the art is lovely💜

THERES NO GOOD ENDING
