What do you like about your game?
I'm incredibly proud of my implementation of various code. I'm an artist first and foremost so this was a major step out of my comfort zone. Im also insanely happy with the overall visuals of the game. I spent a lot of time recently going back to color fundamentals and I believe that it has shown through.

a game of emotional riddles… I got 2 right answers on my first attempt (including the cat), and maybe 4 on my second attempt (I’m still counting the cat). it’s a bit hard to tell if people were satisfied or not, but maybe that’s the point.

interesting game though! it made me think really hard and I still got it wrong most of the time, which was fun.

Host

this is really cool thank you

I couldn't figure it out and so I made a fairly big mess :P

It's an interesting game, with the way the potions are used, although I didn't really like the way the camera moved, something like a smooth move rather than a snap would suit this game more.

I like the visuals a lot. It looks beautiful. But it runs at 3 fps on my laptop! I don't know what eats up all the performance but I don't think I should be so performance-heavy.

Also, it might not be a big deal but I'm not sure it's a good idea to put upside-down text on the wheel (unless you can turn it, but I didn't find a way to do that).

Developer

Thanks. 

What kind of hardware do you have? I'm really confused as to why it would be that low in fps since I tested it on different machines.

It's not a very powerful laptop. I have an i7-10510U and an NVIDIA GeForce MX250.

Developer

That would explain it. I didn't get to turn off Lumen before submitting, but after the jam Ill add in a lumen-free version

Unreal Engine is generally a systems intensive engine, however, you might be able to get some performance gains by editing the game's engine.ini files (here's where I found them for this game). Here is a list of commands you might be able to use.

This one is tough. I'll probably need to play quite a few more times to get the right answers, but I can already admire the amount of work put into all this riddles. Good job!
Also, cat asmr at the beginning is something)

Developer

Thanks so much for playing
As for the solutions to the riddles, there's 2 good solutions to each puzzle and every other combination will result in a negative/neutral reaction. I wanted to stay away from correct and incorrect solutions because of the ambiguity of emotions.
