There lies a thorny path in the way forward

You exchange words for a spell

Then between the lines on your lips

It shall bloom nevermore

It's put-together well, like a poetry in motion. I second the comment below that using the text boxes to break up thoughts was a really nice touch.

That’s very kind of you, thank you very much!

This was really fun! I love how you used the floating text boxes to kind of break up thoughts, and how the placement of the witch reflected their progress on their journey (at least that's my reading of it). Not to mention how solid the styling and presentation is. The special start screen and backgrounds !!! UGH!! this was really cool

Thank you very much! I was worried it might be too short, but I did pay special attention to the presentation ^_^
