Members: @PartyPanda, @BenCrooks and @LauraSeal
Time: 48 Hours
Game Idea:
A point and click game about self-realization, where the player begins with the most limited view of the world. All you can see is the feet of your character as they engage with the feet of others. As the game progresses, your worldview begins to expand - escalating the possibilities for interaction within the environment.

With regards to communication it wasn't that easy to tell who was speaking maybe more contrasting colours for the text or a name above the dialogue.
I think the background needed a little extra in terms of that "perspective interest" but I respect having to work under pressure here. The comments about text are good ones, especially since I think I may have skipped individual lines here and there -- something worth defending more against in a story driven experience.
Novel and well-suited to the competition. Congrats!
Improvements:
-As already mentioned above, an association between character talking and text displayed needs be more clear as your font choice is quite thin.
-Separating movement from dialogue progression; I would spam to move and then skip through some of the dialogue. (could be different inputs like arrows for movement or just a button next to the text or the text field is a button)
Small personal gripe about calling your partner "Babe" ToT ... but hey free world
Otherwise nice animation, simple controls and clever narrative. Well done!
