What a fun experience! The character design and the animation is very lovely, seems like an interesting world building too! I like how amaranth remembered if the player has reached an ending, this game made me realize how bad at tic tac toe i am LOL amazing work, love it!!
Aww this was really charming, honestly! And really impressive work delivering this level of output in the jam timeframe and limitations! 10/10 would stop in and play a game of priests and wizards with her any day-
Either way, I'm glad that the head librarian was not around, I don't think playing Priests and Wizard is the approved method of processing souls.
Thank you very much for the playthrough! Loved hearing your thought process and commentary! (you absolutely annihilated her in this game!)
Take advantage of the head librarian's leave to give your life another chance!!!

There IS a way to win (or cheat) the coin toss, which would bring another ending :D
Who knew that a game of tic tac toe can decide your fate? I like the atmosphere in this, it's so mysterious that I want to find out more.
Thank you! Glad the atmosphere translated well to you, there are many things hidden within the library...
