Since I played your previous game "Amalgama" before this one, I can't help but compare them. What I can definitely say is that you present a very interesting universe that is full of mystery and lore: it's a welcoming return to the post-apocalyptic snow setting!
It's good to see the many improvements that gives this VN a much more polished feel. I really like the custom GUI for this as it brings the pixelart look together and the limited palette BGs also give it more cohesion. In the previous game, there was an ambience track that looped a bit abrupt (during that scene when you're found and brought inside) but I don't notice any sound effect that I found distracting here, so this in general is a more enjoyable experience from the technical viewpoint.
The overall story is more cozy in "Your Time", and I can't really compare the two because they're enjoyed in different ways (as I mentioned before, I do absolutely love the horror undertones in "Amalgama", and I have a slight bias for that). Either way, this instalment makes place for familial and fun chitchat between the human characters, but it strikes a good balance too as it's still far from a happy atmosphere. This is due to the nature of the strange village and Elise's grandfather feeling threatened by her leaving.
Letting the player pick the order of chores gives it some pleasant extra interaction, and I like the final decision that leads to the two different endings.
Yoooo thank you for your comments, really appreciated! Glad to know someone that completed both games. Wish I could have the time to play the large amount of Game Jam projects, there are lots of talented people. Regarding the sound issue, I'll take care about it. Actually, there's a lot of things to take care of (specially Amalgama and its archaic english lmao.)
