I really like the visual design of the booklet. Despite the atmosphere, I found it very easy to read and use. It's quick to generate both Log 1 and Log 2 from the cards you draw, and I also appreciated the little nod to the 1100-word limit by making the eulogy exactly 1100 words.
I think Echoes is a particularly clever choice as the main ingredient, with the digital logs acting as the last echoes left behind by the dead. I also really liked the use of Masks through the idea of veils, death masks, and funerary imagery. Knowing your intention for Rhythm as the call-and-response structure between the two logs makes a lot of sense too. I have to admit Molt feels a little more subtle, but I did spot it in the prompt tables.
This isn't usually the kind of horror game I naturally gravitate towards, but I found the two-log structure so original that it genuinely made me want to give it a try one day. I think it's a really creative premise, and one that fits the 1100-word format surprisingly well.
