Gameplay - Very standard visual novel with a few quick and simple RPG maker sections. I do like that all of the choices felt meaningful though even if the correct choice for the good ending is always extremely obvious. 4

Story - I think it's a bit cliche, and the characters are a bit trope-heavy, but it works overall. 4

Presentation - I'm not a huge fan of the character designs (except Hades and Psychemis) but that's more of a personal taste thing. The overall presentation is great though and shows a lot of effort. 5

Creativity - It is self-admittedly just a retelling of a bunch of greek myths, but the execution is interesting enough. I also appreciate that each "trial" was unique and stood out from the others even if they were pretty simple. 4

Horror - It's not particularly horrifying though, although I'll give points for the surprisingly gruesome disarming. 2

Theme - The theme was present via the midas ring but it wasn't at all a central focus of the narrative, it was just kind of there. 2

It's a fun little game with a simple but heartwarming story. I haven't gotten every ending yet but it's definitely something I might play again sometime.

Okay, I finally managed to finish this game and here are my thoughts.

I heard bad things about the story, but honestly, I don't think it was a bad story. It definitely isn't my cup of tea and it didn't feel like a horror story/game, but some character were fun and mythology was incorporated pretty well into the game. The story felt quite compressed, though, but considering this is a game jam, I think you did a good job (I guess you probably had a more complex history in mind, with a lot of character development)

Mixing visual novel elements with uhhh...mini games I guess? was quite nice and gave the game more personality.

Gustav was quite cliché but he ended up being one of the best things about the game hahhahaa, I really liked that. Sometimes, these type of characters are really fun and enjoyable, despite how cliché/stereotypical they might be

Now, what I think was the best thing about the game is no doubt the visuals. Specifically, the character art. I really liked it, the character artist did an amazing job and I love their art style.

The theme implementation was good, not a lot to say about that.

My main complaint is obviously the lack of horror. At times I felt like this was submitted to the wrong jam, although it can also be argued that horror is subjective, so this might indeed contain many horror elements that didn't feel like horror elements to me because I'm used to more stereotypical/classic horror tropes.

Anyway. This game definitely isn't for me... but it was by no means a bad experience, and I'm impressed by the character art style. Congratulate the character artist on my behalf

I loved the combined genre of visual novel and mini game elements! it's a fun and creative use of the engine. The art and character designs are fun and colorful! Very fun short game, took me about 20-30 minutes for one run through, but I had fun going back and explore all the other endings and it took longer :,3!

SPOILERS...

In terms of horror, I think it's safe to say I'm quite haunted by someone's Golden Cheeks XD

I think there might be a bug in the diagnosis scene? I tried to see what would happen if I intentionally messed up, and I believe I trapped myself in an eternal loop of failing to diagnose poor Heather of her illness :,)

Love the ending! I quite enjoyed Psychemis as a character, really hoped she'd play a bigger part in the story, but I'm glad she got a nice ending regardless! Good work everyone!
