I am astounded by how much this already feels like a complete game! The rush of risky decisions before and during the darkness event and the suspenseful ambiguity of what comes next based on the player's actions cements the isolated tone it clearly strives for. The crisp art style with the rough line work and contrast between warm desaturated colors and dark vibrant colors is stellar to look at and play.
One major criticism was the UI presentation, where it wasn't clear that I could select the icons beneath the characters to give them food or water.
Also, there was a soft-lock bug that occurred on my second playthrough. I was playing the witch, and when I decided to move on to the next day, the game soft-locked.
I really enjoyed playing through the game! It was so polished! I am super impressed, awesome work!
Great story and endings. I really enjoyed the art style and mystery. Nice music too.
Pleasing to look and play
Really loved your art. Great Job!
Also can you rate our game? Thx!
Amazing style. Beautiful character art, even beautiful loading screen. Nice work.
absolutely beautiful art and designs and pretty cool music, the game overall was polished like a beautiful ruby!
the only thing i think it could have had was an in game instruction...it took me a while to understand that i should have carried other ones to the fire, i thought they could walk to it themselves XD
The game feels like "60 seconds!". Good job, but maybe you can add some innovative game mechanics - the part where you have to move and do something instead of just managing resources. Overall, nice!
The art and music in this game are absolutely immaculate. The only problems I have with it is that the main part of the game that's supposed to represent the storm was quite easy and calm since you could take it at your own pace, it took me actively trying to actually end up losing.
Other than that it's a great game that mixes the style of darkest dungeon with the gameplay of 60 seconds. Good job!
The artstyle is great! It reminds me of "60 seconds!". It feels a bit janky, but overall the choices you make do seem to matter.
Besides, creating all these from scratch is no easy feat. Kudos!
Astounding graphic and gameplay, it's make a new experience for me. Now it's ur turn to try & rate us. Thank u
nice game
Really like the graphhics!
great game, cool graphics!
A VERY COOL GAME! The art is just super, the music is at the highest level, the mechanics are cool, by the way, I have almost the same mechanics in the game, well done. Keep it up, great job!
This is a really fun game and the art style is top notch!
Incredible work!
This game is beautiful, I really loved the art and the opening scene where you can grab everything to survive the darkness. I didn't feel the storm theme in the game and I have seen many game like this one before, nice game, really polished and really fun.
The graphics are amazing! top notch
at first i didn't know what to do as there wasn't a toturial, I figured it out after 2 endings
this was wonderful great job!
Very impressive that you guys put out such an good game like this one. At first, I wasn't sure what nor why I was collecting those stuffs (including the characters), but the gameplay shines afterwards, when you have to manage the group you gathered. Very well done, has a nice pace and the art is phenomenal. It sort of reminded me of Darkest Dungeon. Anyways, GREAT work!
i absolutely love the art dude! also the soundtrack is incredible (I'm assuming you made it). most of the game itself felt very scripted though, i feel like there might have been a lot of lost potential in making most of the narrative exist inside a book. but I thought it was a fantastic game anyway lol :)
