A cute little whimsical mystery with tumultuous emotions on both sides - I did really enjoy the setting that was painted and the characters I met!
(Warning: light spoilers)
I liked the build up to the mystery and the bits alluding to magic and/or escapism, perhaps to cope with the main character's loss. I really liked how they decided to almost call a 'truce' on their issues and work together to help solve the mystery surrounding their shared friend and put it to rest. It did feel a little abrupt from there (they seemed to quickly pool ideas together that they already knew, rather than discover anything new on their search), so Ember's mystery feels a little in the air still. However, I did like that as a result of collaboration, Forrest let his walls down enough to ask Laura out to dinner - whether as a peace offering, a tribute to their shared friend, or more, who knows...
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! I'm happy you enjoyed the setting and found the story engaging. Your observations about the themes and character arcs are spot-on. We also appreciate your insights on the pacing towards the end - it's helpful to know where we can improve! About Ember's mystery, we are considering making a separate game about her to tackle the unresolved issues, but it may take some time... We are happy however, that you enjoyed the ending with Laura and Forrest!
