I’m surprised to be the first to comment on this among the 4 jams to submitted to!
Nice structure and lore with poetry told by the Jester! It’s even more Once Upon a Time VN Jam-like than my own Once Upon a Time entry.
Impressed by the very different routes at the end, although this seems a huge amount of work if you keep working on the game! The first 3 characters are likeable in different ways, strong in their archetypes: the straight paladin (I like the “unintended humor” he triggers by being so serious, like the one in Honor among Thieves), the jester who knows more than he pretends (he embodies the concept of “Chaotic Neutral”) and the scientist (perfect analysis power applies to body structure as well? Who knew Heroes’ Sylar could have been a professional masseur?)
A few bugs, that you probably noticed already:
Landslod sprite becomes huge (head cut) at some points (when MC is surprised, after arrive on castle and maybe once more in the city?)
Landslod sprite is sometimes on the left
Landslod sprite confused not loaded due to typo in “confused”
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked at least most of the characters (I notice you left out the King, but he deserves it). I am still working on the game, and you're right, it is a huge amount of work! I might have several of the character routes done in time for Once Upon a Time VN Jam.
Thank you for pointing out those bugs. I just uploaded a fix.

Sure, I’ll check the Once Upon a Time version when it’s out then!
