Thank You to the Devs

[DPhil]

I want to thank the devs for making this. I like a good story and this one made left me wondering what was really going on for 11 hours. It is unironically a work of art and even though it all feel tragic (for good reason) and left me quiet at the end, it was a unique experience. To be honest, for me the combat actually took away from the story and would have been fine reserved for the player-initiated sparring matches only.

I don't know how the game has done with Oblivion being released, but I do hope it is a great success. You didn't leave yourself a lot of room for sequels though.

I just have two questions (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING):

First, People dying in the Gommage is linked to the number obviously. But what does the number indicate? My best guess is the maximum age. So at the start of the game everybody older than 33 years dies. Meaning that the following year everybody age 33 and up dies. So every year more die until the survivors are too young to have children. It would explain how they know who will die. Anyways, it's the only thing I could not fully explain. Actually, the Store page answered this one. Go figure, maybe I should not have gone in blind.

Second, the Curator is Renoir? So when he helps Maelle to kill Renoir he's actually helping her to kil himself?

As for the endings, I didn't want all those characters to die. Technically she could have re-created them in her own canvas, couldn't she? I felt bad knowing she was going to die for saving those people.
