Pretty unique premise. Feels like I just stumbled upon one of them bizarro VNs in the vein of that Pigeon Dating Sim or that one VN where the male characters have (literally) dangerously pointy chins. The fact that the artifact didn't just magically turned her into a regular spear but actually twisted her body into a grotesque flesh spear just adds to the tragedy and horror of the scene. Interesting choice of color palettes. It definitely contrasts to the tale the game is telling and it adds to the surreal nature of the premise as well. Rarely have I seen Ren Py games like these have an action game sequence. It's pretty impressive to me that you've managed to program that minigame into an engine originally designed for a more point and click style of gameplay. I would be interested in following this game should you decide expand upon it. Would be pretty neat if it has some sort of leveling or alignment systems that would affect both their appearance/powers/etc. to make it even more interesting game-wise but one can only add so much into a jam game seeing that such events only allows a limited amount of development time.
Overall this is a pretty neat short game you made there.
Nice melodrama! Every ending was sad in its own way. Cool integration of player choice in more action-based gameplay. Didn't even know that was possible in RenPy ^^ - Elisa M

The new season of Soul Eater is pretty wack yo!

Great set up, feels like the story could continue into a long game!
Also like the popping colours
The transition screen and dialogue system is pretty badass
