  • Fantastically unique concept. Loved the audience commentary.
  • This was great. Very cool style and love the little details in the audience reactions, and the movement of the characters. The puzzles were purposely simple to move the story along at a good pace. I loved it.

This was super fun and very original. The art style is great, and for some reason that long arm really made me laugh! I loved the funny comments from the audience, and the music was awesome. Excellent job!

This was absolutely incredible!! I absolutely love the style of this, it really shows in your work how much passion you have for the artform of shadow theatre. The writing is very fun and I love the peanut gallery commentating on everything.

I did run into two major bugs.
1) After I gave the fish sandwich to the chef instead of our mentor, the game froze.
2) I'm not sure if this only occurs in Act 3, but there seems to be a bug with saving. After I already got the ladder and interacted with the radio, I reloaded to a save right at the beginning of Act 3. In that save, the ladder was already present even though I never grabbed it, and the radio prop was completely gone. I had to replay the game from the beginning on a new save to stop this from happening.

Despite those two issues, I had a really great time with this. What a stunning game!!

I must admit I didn't know about Greek shadow theater so I watched a video or two about it, and I'm very glad I did 馃榿 because knowing what the puppets and movement should look like makes this game MUCH more awesome.
