This is a cosy little VN! It's set in a lovely frozen land, so it gave me a bit of respite from the sweltering summer here. Thanks for that, lol! The story came together nicely, and the music, va and the art were good. I like how the memory-dreams were (mostly) working backward from her pivotal moment of decision. Nice work from the whole team!
I noticed a few potential issues, and I'm guessing some were due to the time constraints of the Jam, but I thought I'd point them out in case you're looking for feedback. Some are just my opinion, of course, so pay them no mind if you disagree. :) 1) Sophie says she's British, but her accent is clearly not. Honestly, I'd just change her background to American/Canadian, and change the line about her country being a monarchy. 2) There was a 'surprised' sfx when Sophie was in the forest and Ivon popped up. That sound continued through most of the next scene, and I don't think it was supposed to. 3) The ending I got (Richard's Good) felt a little rushed. Again, probably due to the deadline. 4) Some lines of dialogue were missing the voice. 5) I really appreciate the Accessability options--not every game has them. I tried changing the font to NotoSans and the size to large, but nothing seemed to change. The OpenDyslexic works fine, though! (in case you need the info, I ran this on Windows 11)

So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the feedback! We'll work on buttoning up as many of those little issues as we can. :-)
