  • Ended just as it was getting interesting! Hope to see more someday.
  • It's short and unfinished obviously but a good start. It would be nice if I had some better way of knowing what I am trying to do instead of randomly doing things because I can.

The gameplay reminded me a bit of the old Gobliins games, where a shrug or a headshake would mean that I'd chosen the wrong action. It looks like there is a set order, and the player's task is to find the correct trigger to advance the story. I found it intriguing, and I hope you continue the story.

thank you! I have played gobliins series, i hope it will not become as hard  once its done , but i recognize the similarities.

I found it challenging to locate the "terrain" hotspot, which could be made more intuitive. Also, the absence of sounds and music impacts the atmosphere. Since Cicero can only shrug and doesn't speak, it might help to clarify his reactions, maybe through a narrator sharing his thoughts.

Introducing a narrator to reveal what Cicero is thinking could enhance the player's understanding of his character and intentions, especially since he doesn't speak.

I'm curious about Cicero's background and would like to learn more about him. Overall, great work!

This was very promising. The puzzles were interesting - the main downside is lack of proper signposting. You end up understanding it after solving it, which is a pity because some were very clever. But a great effort for this jam, complimenti!
