This game is utterly wonderful. The story is fantastic, telling the timeless tale of human hardships and false prophets all in an extremely interesting way. I loved how we got to know Rosewood from the letters we'd receive and how their character would slowly develop as you got closer and closer to the end.
Mechanically, the concept of deciphering ancient text was very creative. However if there were one small gripe I have with the game as a whole, it would still be the game mechanics. While the concept was interesting, the actual execution was fairly dull. I would often find myself just randomly switching around letters hoping to get things right. I see that the system was actually much deeper than that and the letter placement would need rhyme and/or reason but I never found myself needing to rely on that. Even so, I would still persist because the story is amazing.
You seem to have a knack for making a very large amount of game with so very little, this project being even more ambitious as you didn't even have small illustrations of character faces as you did with you later work. Nearly everything is amazing and I again support any effort you partake in.
4.5/5
