This is a pretty good game jam game. It's quick and to the point. Very little opportunity for getting lost or doing the wrong thing. Even the little tutorial bits in the unique battle system were helpful. I especially appreciate that the enemies use a standard style of stances to make identifying the type of move I need to perform easy.
I also liked how the story comes back to that fateful moment and you get to see how each character contributed to the MC's death.
My 3 criticisms:
Overall an impressive game. Good job!
Simple game play and straightforward story, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I especially liked the punching animation for John Doe. Four battles was about right for length as well, since more than that would have made the combat mechanics a bit too drawn out. There's got to be a way to make it so there are fewer sub commands, and main commands show up as you learn them. Having to navigate an extra sub menu to sweep the leg etc. felt like an unecessary extra step.
Good storytelling with flashbacks as well. Really enjoyed the slow story reveal, and your voice acting was really enjoyable as well.
Thanks. I should have put the skills all under one skill set instead dividing them.
I like the story telling in this.
Thank you. It's based on The Crow.
