Incredible game! The take on the theme is excellent. The vines were horrible to pass, the graphics & audio could do better, sbut I'm glad I tried a few other ends. I'll definitely play them all =)

Submitted

Fun game! Would be nice to see it a bit more polished, with some combat feedback.

Submitted

Really cool Idea! It was kind of difficult. I liked all the art although it was a bit unpolished. Overall pretty good job!

Submitted

Very nice Game brooo!!

I rated your game,so I wish that you will rate my Game

Here is my game -https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1933204

So you tell me that Eldritch Beings like to be told stories about sword and magic fantasy? Well, I can't agree more

You had such a good and unique idea for a submission, really. I had like 5/6 ideas, some stupid, other even crazier and abstract but yours idea is brilliant. I enjoyed to make stories and see what will Hero do. Gameplay isn't revolutionary and breathtaking but I can see every story's gimmick (mostly) works and are bug free.

But I have found some issues. Some voice lines aren't connected to voice mixer and especially part where hero tries to convince Jester is bugged. I couldn't beat it because MC bugged into the blocked path and didn't want to move anymore.

I didn't like how monotonous your voice is. I know we didn't have a lot of time but next time try to be more dynamic. Go to your basement, attic or go outside and be loud. Include emotions in lines like you want to sell something to player. I hope this will help!

the game is sick voice over fitted very well in the game the game is a bet challenging I wasn't able to finish but overall great work my friend

Submitted

Such a good game (best one I've played so far). I love the idea and I don't know how you managed to make this in one week. The movement is perfect. But here's some constructive feedback:

The game is pretty hard. It's also very repetitive (it made me stop playing it ,I couldn't get past the chicken slaughterhouse). When I was in the field killing the fiends, it wasn't very clear where I had to go next so an arrow or something would be nice.

Submitted

Amazing concept, loved the story telling concept. But gets repetitive after a while, wish there was a different narrative or a way to switch to a different story. Also game play was hard.

Submitted

LOVE games with voice acting, already awesome!!! The concept was good, but the gameplay was very hard. I liked the narrative feel of the whole.

Great work!!!

I like all scenes in the game soo good!

Submitted

so creative how the end actually was a new beginning, and how the story teller would guide us through the game, "and just when the hero thought he died he was sent to the past"

Love your style! Narrative and overall atmosphere are great! Well done!

Submitted

Nice and colourful art, multiple game modes - nice job, this came together pretty well!

Submitted

Pretty cool and enjoyable to play through the stories you make yourself

Submitted

Very interesting idea and a unique point of view for a game. Well done.

Submitted

Really good game. The choices for different narratives is great and the voice acting was fun to listen to (the addition of subtitles was also great). The art complimented the gameplay nicely. Unfortunately also ran into the softlock at level 2 from doing the same path as the other person who did

Submitted

I really enjoyed the game! The soft storytelling, the results of your decisions... Great game!

Submitted

Well played with that game! The amount of work you put in the voice acting is great!

I got soft locked in the "second level" though

First I chose that the hero joins the evil lord, then I chose that the hero overthrows the evil lord, and at the start of that level is a puzzle where you need to walk on every tile to progress, but I walked straight to the door and my character started "vibrating" and I couldn't move him anymore :(

But that's a cool idea you had there, definitely original, kudos!

Developer

I must have forgotten to put the door on the collision layer for the grid based movement, sorry for the inconvenience

Submitted

Very well made! Gotta love a choose your own adventure story.  Narrated and put together well. Overall, well done!
