I’m stuck on a phone right now so can’t play a lot of this, but what I went through was nicely atmospheric. I noticed some wordchoice errors (for example, you nock an arrow instead of knock, and you take a breath, not a breathe) but these are very minor.
Ah!, I see why this game received so few votes. The screen configuration does that the pictures occupy the whole screen in laptop configurations.
That is... most modern laptops have a little screen with high resolution, so they are capable of showing 1920x1080 pixels, but the content at full resolution will be displayed too small for comfortable human reading. So, these laptops are configured to show the screen at 150% of zoom. That makes your game physically impossible to play for lower resolutions or some modern laptops.
Even in a proper external monitor, it is not comfortable, because most text happens in the below section of the game, while the upper side, where most reading happens is occupied by the title screen.
Corollary, please, remove that title screen, or do that it disappears after a Press any key to continue.
I mean, Quest should allow a more optional configuration for your title screen.
Thanks!
It was a fun game until the game stopped responding to incoming commands from us. I think we overwhelmed it with our unique ways of thinking about things.
Thank you for taking the time to check it out! I'm sorry that the game bugged out on you, were you playing it in the browser? I'm learning that Quest's online interpreter is notoriously buggy which is a total bummer. Anyways, glad it brought at least a little enjoyment to you. Thanks again. :)
Yes, we were playing it in a browser (Chrome). It worked as long as it could and for that I thank the computers for their labor. I know I was trying a lot of commands that are not in the walkthrough which probably overwhelmed the system (ever try to eat the rocking chair at the house?).
OMG Ha! Never would I have considered that possibility. I will have to remember that type of thinking next time I am hiding achievements in a game. lol.
