Description:

Quote and screenshot (possibly deceptive):
"Some say the forest is enchanted,
that spirits dwell within its shadows.
Others doubt these stories,
having run through the woods and seen only trees."
Status:
controls: close, but don't feel quite right yet
dark forest visuals: half done
Miyazaki-inspired forest spirits: barely started
subtitles: not started
writing: not started
state of the code: super sketchy, but not collapsing yet
Right, back to work...
