I really enjoy Tangled Blessings by @cassi.mothwin.com so I might need to check this one out! Plus, early game design stuff is always fun!
Remember when I streamed my Tangled Blessings playthrough last year? I've been working on my own third party game for it, and it's too early to playtest but let's do it anyway—or I'll never finish making it! 😱
