What a banger, great job! The art, atmosphere and story make for a very engaging experience — everything was very well put together.
If you’re looking to improve the game after the jam, I would make it a bit harder, which better matches the harsh reality and tough decision-making that the game is looking to convey. I got to Rome on my first try with no real effort. Admittedly, I made some, let’s say, morally questionable choices, but was never really punished for that (I did get a priest to be all judgy on me, but that didn’t stop me from getting to Rome). Perhaps having a post-game screen giving you a “morality score” (which is something we wanted to do for our game) or having multiple endings would fix that. For instance, you can be dethroned by your people for being a terrible leader, or never getting to be a king at all since people would refuse to support someone who ate his little brother’s arm or sacrificed a stranger for a couple of juicy steaks.
Super impressive entry, congratulations!
