I don't normally comment on itch, but I really wanna say how much I love this game after one play only and some random stuff that came to mind. (yeah theres yapping prob spoilers ahead but this is a like 40 min game so just go play it rq doofus :3)
Anyways, time for the random 3am inspiration rant.
And first off. I really wanna mention the small detail on how Chevron (I think the head dude right?) is Charon the ferryman, on the River Styx. Though I don't know a lot at all about Greek mythology, I think it's a nice nod to his character and placement in the story where he's just showing the Player their way out to their own painting in the end. It's a really nice touch that I didn't expect in the slightest going into playing this and tbh I can only thank my 8th grade ELA teacher for me even getting this reference lmao.
I also like how in painting 3 with the retrospective army man, and the spider which I quite don't know the meaning of yet that the lead up to the man is a winding path of seemingly flesh and bone walls. It's like in his (hers? theirs?) flashbacks they realize that the soil is all made up of death, bone, and flesh that proves more to himself that he and his people weren't the good guy.
Sorry for the 3 gadamn paragraphs (w/ the first one anw) but this was a really cool play and I didn't expect how good it was. I mean as soon as you boot up the game it foreshadows the ending and you go back to the title and just go "OOOOOOOOHHH OMFG" but I've mentioned one to many things now. I actually don't know how to end this pretty much one-pager so I guess thank you for making such an incredible game and also thank everyone who read this far. Cya :3
