Oh your script was so well-done, so much life in Liv and the protag, so much unsaid between them that fleshes out both the world and their relationship so well. And yet you still managed to drop those two moments on us that turned the whole story on its head and ramped up the tension, that's super impressive!
The aesthetic is on point (from a fellow lighthouse enjoyer, I'd love to be able to just retreat from this world and hole up in a place like this for a few months...), the blue tones of the photos you used fit so well! And the sound effects fit the tone of the setting so well... On a personal note I really enjoyed the occasional just full stops to black/silence, felt like a series of vignettes of the two together- I don't know what else to say about it, I just found that format really appealing.
Really good stuff!!
i am OBSESSED with the choice for dialogue only in regards to the script. It works SO well, and truly causes the player to fill in those gaps, making the mood even stronger.
The ending made me jump and it also made me grin with how much FUN this story is. I wasn't expecting that ending at all but I love it and I love how real Liv feels. Such a good game
