I played the game and despite not being able to sympathize with the character's emotions (it seems that others have, so it must be a personal thing), I loved the idea of using simple backgrounds. It allows you to focus solely on the text and what it is trying to convey. Given you decided to focus on such heavy subjects like loss and grief, it was a brilliant idea.

There are a lot of grammatical errors, which often distracted me, and some UI issues too. I suggest you review the dialogues or ask someone to proofread for you, and also to make the text box bigger so that the text doesn't go outside of it sometimes.

All in all, you did a really good job with the limitations given by the jam. Congrats!

Thank you so, so much for your feedback and for playing the game!!!

I apologize for the grammar mistakes and I'm sorry they have compromised your experience. English is not my first language, y'know...
But I will make sure to have someone proofreading and correcting the grammar mistakes and I guess I'll have to study a bit for my self as well—there's no escaping

I also took note on the textbook issue and I'm glad you liked the background!

Thank you!!

It's not my first language either so don't worry, I didn't mean to be too harsh, I'm just picky about grammar mistakes (especially when I'm the one making them!) and I pay way too much attention to them but many others don't. Usually it's the content that counts, which your game has.

I'm sure your next game will be even better, good luck!
