There's so much detail, and they're all steeped in character. I found it particularly nice that the things you had to click on blended in so well, giving me the chance to enjoy them for that much longer. The music really helps the ominous contemplative vibe you're going for.\n\nThe loop back to the beginning is slick. Some of the dialogue really cuts to the chase, and I think I would have liked a bit more exposition about a few things. Who was the ghost? Why was the boy sent away? What is the special event, and why is the boy's liver being eaten?\n\nOverall, really great work. I hope to one day make backgrounds and settings like this.
