Good audio and graphics, would be cool to see it have more options post jam. Additionally skipping dialogue would be great. Good job!

I like how there were little cut scenes, (like drinking water from the well!). Your sprite art is very clear and nice~ if you like you could and a little bit of squish and stretch to the sprite for cartoony animation (but it is fine as is). Text was a bit much at times, but I'm not much of a reader haha so I'm sure others don't mind. However, there is a visual story telling rule, "show, don't tell" as much as you can. Great job! Check out my game if you have time~

The Quest: Trapped in a LieLoved how interesting this game was, although - it could have done with the dialogue being faster or being able to be skipped. I found myself getting fairly bored because it took so long to get through the game!
Although, the choices were clearly impactful... learnt that the hard way... and I think it was super well done in the time you had!
I'll be following the stuff you make!

BelatedSo of course, amazing music and visuals, well done ! It rare enough to mention so also nice animation it is quite rare on jam games. I wish there was a way to quickly skip the dialogues, I played the game more than once to try everything and it was a bit frustrating to wait for the "continue" button to appear. Great job, keep going !

Dungeons and DeceptionNice game and art, but have how get outlived ? every choice i made i died :c

Wrong AdventureNice art and audio. It was fun to experience, but not much in the way of "gameplay".
If you like this concept, I'd humbly suggest you'd might like my game as well.... also, my dialog is skippable. lol

Welcome to the AfterlifeWow, really great art, Could you also please check out my game? I would appreciate any feedback :)

The sign is a lieLooks great! Love the characters and the story seems intriguing but I didn't manage to escape :S
As others have already pointed out it would be cool to be able to skip the dialogue for better replayability.
Great job!!

Follow the TruthThe character design is amazing. It will be great if I can skip some of the story because I have to watch them again when I replay it. Other than that, it's a good game!

Don't Spend All Your CoinsThank you Fhy! Really appreciate you playing my game! Me and my game artist were absolutely loving every second of your game! Your Game is a winner!
Im so sorry, by the time i figured out the skip dialog i was just too tired. there was just no excuse! It pains me to see that me not addressing the issue is causing a huge problem now for the people that play my game. Everything would have been alot better if the skip dialog was there.
Died a few times, and then just lost patience because of having to get through the unskippable dialogue everytime. The character, I think, also moves too slowly. However, I did like the character designs (at least those I've seen so far).
If you like RTS games I'm also looking for some criticism and maybe a rating on my own game. Check it out !

EquiriumHi Marc Jacob. Rated your game! would really love to see your game get further polished!

I loved your art style! There were a lot of animations, some of them gave me jump scares XD
This game reminds me of those japanese RPG maker horror games, where you die if you make a wrong choice. I liked it, I think I managed to find all deaths! But I couldn't find a way to finish without dying. Maybe you didn't had time to implement the candle or the third door?
And I would suggent to implement a skip button. After dying 3 times, I was not reading the first screen dialogues anymore.
Congrats on your entry! =)
Hello SayuGameDev! Thank you so much for your review. I love her artwork too! without her, all these wouldn't been possible. Yes! Spent alot of time creating the animations for the Ending Scenes! But because of the time constraint, I playtested too late and found that dialog issue when i saw my Game Artist clicking repeatedly on the dialog box (waiting for the continue button to pop), right there i told myself "hmm.. we should implement a feature where if you press the dialog box, the text will all appear with the continue button"... But it was too late! Im so sorry and i really appreciate your feedback! <3
Solid entry! I'm not sure if there is a good ending to this, but I'm quite sure I died in every ways possible, haha. The art looks really good, but the music is a bit repetitive. Also the first few lines of dialogues can't get skiped with the space bar which was a bit odd at first. Keep up the good work :)

The camera cannot lieHello Thomas! Thank you so much for your review. Yes! My Game Artist really did a good job here! I was playtesting and I found that out too but it was abit too late and was not able to add the feature i believe was the biggest issue of the game : Skip Dialogs. But i really really appreciate you getting to every ending of the game and i hope those endings were worth your time! <3
