Hi! I'm so sorry I just saw this now! Since you commented, I actually made an updated audio version which explains what the 36 words is for as I realized that was unclear originally! The 36 words is in reference to the fact that the game itself including the prompts is only 36 words long, as it was created for the 36 word game jam. The journal responses could also be 36 words if desired, but the journal responses can be as long as the player wants them to be! Thanks again!
