Great game! Really loved the atmosphere and the music, the art style for the characters was really great also! :)
Fun game! I included it in my Blackthornprod GAME JAM #3 compilation video series!
I have already said this but I'll say it again: I absolutely love the style of the game. It's simple, short, sweet, cute, and funny!
Cool game, accidentally threw an item through a door and couldn't get it back haha. Wish there could've been a pause menu to restart the game. But I understand that this is only 1 week. I love the subtle UI animations when entering the elevator. Keep it up!
Thanks! Yea the game has its share of bugs oops XD Used DoTween for the first time for a lot of the animations, it was awesome! Thanks for playing~
Awesome games, some parts were very funny and the art and music really gave the game real atmosphere. Cant wait for part 2.
Glad you enjoyed :D
Nice little scheme. It would be nice to have some sort of branching narrative stuff going on. I liked how you had to search around for the key. It would be interesting if multiple items could accomplish the same thing in a different way.
Thank you! Definitely keen to expand the story and mechanics. Those are some great ideas! Thanks for playing :)
loved the ratatouille reference. also nice to see a narrative-driven game (and most of the medieval english was correct?) It's simple but it's a design by subtraction principle which suits the theme of the jam :)
(unrelated but out of curiosity were you in miziziziz's video?)
Haha thank you! The old English was mixed with modern English just for readability purposes.
And yes! I was lucky to be part of Miziziziz's four game devs jam off the same art kit video alongside Blackthornprod as well, such a cool opportunity :D
beautiful game!
Thank you so much :D
The control scheme took awhile for me to get the hang of but I got there! There's a LOT of art here, it's insane how much you got done in a week. I was little lost through the story as I think I did things out of order.
Thanks for playing! Yea you need to meet the knight on the left side first! I forgot to position the camera properly at the beginning... whoops XD
I liked the game, I thought the writing was good and really helped tie together the entire game, it was really funny a times. I got to the point where I had to "unlocketh the Stewarts door" but it wouldn't unlock and I couldn't find a key anywhere.
Overall fun game!
Thank you so much for playing! The key is at the end of the chapel floor ^.^ But you were almost done the game anyways haha
I love the writing in this! great game, i enjoyed it
Thank you very much!
The production value in this is very high, I loved the look, the writing, the sound and music. Was a bit disappointed by the ending, but it's understandable considering time constraints. I'm not entirely sure what you were going for with the theme, is it referring to class, as in a member of the lower class becoming something more?
Thank you! It really was a team effort :) Yup we didnt have time to wrap up the game properly and figure out a satisfying ending haha You could even say its up to your interpretation XD (less is more, am i right? haha) We really did lose the theme a bit during development. The initial idea was that he is a lowly servant but through his duties and conversations- he uses the information to his advantage to kill the king!
Awesome work, I love the art and the concept. Bravo
And amazing work on the music, it really wrapped everything together! Awesome job!
The game is very buggy (if i walk like the elevator is moving i clip into the ground, i can throw the rat OOB making the game impossible to beat, some walls have no colliders) but the story is quite intriguing!! Good Job!!
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to fix some of those bugs even though they were on my list :( Thanks for playing :D
Just to clarify. When i say that the game is buggy i don't mean in in a bad way: The game is great, i had so much fun with it and i can see how much effort you put in it!!
It's just that sometimes i focus so much on the bad of a game, that i forgot to say/notice the good things in it... xD (I hope i didn't make you feel bad about it... just in case i did... Sorry!! :C)
Haha no worries, I figured! Some bugs can ruin the experience as well, I need to get better at managing that! Thanks for the kind words!!
What an ambitious entry! I know how hard it can be to implement dialogue systems under these time constraints, and you've managed not only that, but some item puzzles, and an awesome elevator system to boot!
Love the art style and the sound design, and the writing still has me chuckling now that I'm finished.
The only real downsides are a couple of missing colliders, and the jiggling message window, while cute, might make it difficult for some people to read the dialogue.
Yeaa the dialogue system was a pain haha but it's something I've always wanted to try and this was the perfect opportunity. Thank you for playing and all the nice words! Appreciate the feedback as well, can't wait to polish this one up!
Yeah it worked really well 😀
Look forward to playing it again once you're done with it!
Great Job Manisha, I love it. The elevator is a great way to get around the level and the dialogue between the characters is a work of genius :)
Thank you so much!!! My friend Flo really did an amazing job on the script, I loved reading the hilarious things she came up with!
she did a great job. The game play was also smooth too.
Really nicely made game, the elevator and the text anims were especially nice! I also love how unique each character felt! :D
Thank you so much!! Hoping to polish this up more and give it an ending after voting period :)
Oooo can't wait to see!
Awesome game! Really well done all around!
It was a bit hard to figure out what to do at first and having a static set screen size that small really didn't wok with my big monitor! :P
But those are small details it was really fun & relaxing to explore the castle! :D
Thank you!!! I forgot to move the starting position of the camera to show the knight ahah I should have done that! And I was experimenting with this resolution for the first time, I'll be sure to make it more flexible when I polish this game up! Thanks so much for playing!
love the music and the art. Well done : )
Okay, this was amazing, especially loved the art. But, I have to say the best part was the music you put in! It was so good!
Thank you!!! The music composer did an awesome job bringing the medieval vibe! ( https://soundcloud.com/oathr-vgm)
