Lovely story and an excellent atmosphere! I love how the in-story nod to Tam Lin isn't just a cute "hey this is like Tam Lin"; it's done in a way that indicates the peril our knight is in.
AAAAAAH IT WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY????? It felt poetic, ephemeral, ethereal, fairy-tale-like even!! The music accompanied it very well and the background was absolutely magnificent! The fairy lore is very interesting, and gosh, was it romantic!!! You definitely made me want to read Tam Lin! I also enjoyed the NVL format. Congrats on the entry!!
DUDE I LOVE FAIRY LORE!! Your writing? Delicious! The ART!?!?! BREATH-TAKING! i love the formatting of it too! I do wish the web game was a bit bigger so everyone can see your pretty art! (But I can download the builds in description tho)
Thank you for the lovely comment! It feels very validating to have my writing described as "delicious" >:D O2A2 is a great way to try out some unconventional formats due to the limitations and small scope, so I'm glad this one worked out well.
And also thank you for pointing out that the web version is too small! I was in a bit of a rush to upload everything, so I didn't realise that the settings were off. I hope it's easier to see now.
