This is such a great game! Very well done! I so much enjoyed it playing and i wonder if the treasure becomes real at some point? I get the memory idea of the rules being seperate, but clicking the rule everytime to see what is added, is gamewise pointless, since you do it every time it flashes red and there is no gameplay value to it. Like others already have written, i would prefer the newest rule to flash up on the screen, so you instantly now what is changed. And the rulebook itself would still be useful, whenever you feel like you need to remember. But then you would lose some seconds because you would click on it.

How does you game fit the theme?
In this game you try to verify maps that aren't real. The treasure is not real either. But on the way you learn a lot about maps and become a better cartographer. Who knows perhaps you might find a map that leads you to a treasure in the future...
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Wrote all code. Few assets are mine, but all the other are from asset store. Also music isn't mine either. Credited each creator.

Thank you very much for the feedback! It was a game design decision to make the rules separate, to introduce some memory element. Might not be the correct decision tbh.

Thank you!
Yes it is procedurally generated. First made the island, after populated it with each rule.
