How does you game fit the theme?
You have to figure out whether a chest is really a chest or a mimic. If it's a mimic then *it is not real*.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of it. But i've taken code snippets for shaking Game Objects and dynamically adjusting sprite size for the current resolution. And I didn't make the music, or the fonts and used some additional sound effects from the web.

I loved the papers please type of gameplay and the amazing art and audio
Despite the wall-of-text tutorial, this game is the best I've played so far. It's fun and there's a lot of unique mechanics. Graphics and sounds all fit in the game concept.
I love it, thank you :D
Good and fun game!!! You have really nice concept, very polished and that art awesome.
This game is funny, especially to those who are interested in mimic XD. A Japanese comic "Delicious in Dungeon" also depicts some details on mimic and a character in this comic hates mimic.
Also, I kind of feel like this game looks like Papers, Please - needs to distinguish the real from different perspectives and factors. Although the game requires the player to memorize lot of knowledge on the mimic, surely this has a lot of potential and can be a big and detail setting in any fantasy world.
For a moment there I really lost myself in the game, I really wanted to get everything right and retried a number of times. Concept is awesome keep up the great work!
That's the highest praise I can get. Thanks :)
Awesome game, and a great concept! You're very right about our games being similar haha
Great interpretation of the theme! The art and transitions look fantastic.
I really like this game! Its very polished and I can play it all day, its very fun! It also reminds me of papers please.
Great game, very well made! It took me a while to figure all the key holes, but the feedback really helps.
Awesome game with a very unique take on the theme. The game feels really polished and the art looks great. I like the guide book, its a really fun read and I like the challenge of this game. At first, it took me a few tries to differentiate real and fake chests, but once I was able to, it was a really fun experience. Great work!
great game!! I LOVE the concept! it was fun and challenging! would love to see more of this in the future!
Great take on the theme. Nice graphics, good music choice, and quality sounds. I also liked how polished it looks. Great job!
Really good looking Paper Please type of game, also has medieval theme which is my type of game! nice job!
Super fun! Excellent job!
Great idea and theming, could have done with a lives system to help get players used to the game, and also tell them what they missed from a chest.
While there was a lot of writing, it did make me laugh and it was clear what was important and what was fluff, so when I looked at it again, I could quickly skim it. The quality of writing was good as well!
Super fun!
Fun game :D I would love to see the treasure changing with time.
I like the idea! Well done!
Best game I played so far! Excellent game, good job!
Thoroughly fantastic game! love the concept, love the execution. the one complaint I have is that the riddle somewhat breaks the gameplay flow.
Fun game, very Papers, Please vibe.
A lot of reading at the beginning, but it's fairly skimmable (though funny).
Would be nice to pull up the chest table quicker, ended up using a screenshot to make it easier.
