Updated 04/06/2024. I ran out of time to do all the things I wanted to, so I'm uploading what I have since I've been crunching for the past few days. While this game is 100% finished, I plan on releasing a more complete version that will include a slightly revised script and new artwork.

Full credits can be found in game.
