What do you like about your game?
I like that I used a story from 19th century as story for my game. I'm proud to have made most of the assets except from the audio part (maybe next time).

dialogs and setting are well written, and black crawling monsters are cool but fighting doesnt feel good at all, also after boss fight (which is designed well enough) i had "null null" dialogue

Developer

Thank you eepy_silicat for you constructive feedback 🙇‍♂️I'll definitely will make a bigger focus fighting gameplay in my further games 🤗

Great work on all the character lines and portraits, the dialog sections felt very polished. The gameplay could use some more clear transitions/game juice. I wasn't always clear on what was causing me to take damage and some of the transitions were very sudden (a little insert card, "Later that night", "Back at the manor", "You died! Try again.." could help clarify why the scenes changed). Also a hit sound effect is very important in an action game so you know that you're not missing.

Hey, nice idea and story got me interested, though the bear skin hammer guy just stopped moving at some point and I couldn't kill him or progress in any way, is that supposed to happen?

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! No it is not supposed to happen, sometimes the boss get stuck in the jars. I could not figured out why :'(

Why no nose !!

It's an excellent idea to adapt a 19th century tale into a game, and it's very well done! Love the story <3 

Developer

Thank you for your comment, I found the story was in harmony with the theme :)

First of all, I love this kind of game. This one is original and has a pretty cool story. The animation and drawings are fluid, so you quickly get the hang of it.  The gameplay between the lantern and the sword is intuitive and very interesting. Well done! 

Developer

Thank you for your comment! The gameplay is a bit clunky was my first time doing an action, I have ideas to improve it :)
