FEEDBACK WELCOME

I'm currently looking for feedback to optimise the demo for the Steam Festival in June – especially on the story, puzzles, and dialogues.

STORY

When Ovid wakes up on a train where the night never ends, his love, Thera, is gone.

To find her, he must unlock the cargo car, convince a whimsical wind gnome to help him, and face a strange woman who brings back memories of Ovid's last journey with Thera—a trip aboard a night train to his farmland, the last remnant of his family.

This sets in motion an odyssey through a surreal world in search of Thera. But what if she was never the one he needed to find?
