I really like the art a lot :)

Developer

The artist has been informed.

I want sound at the beginning :/ also instead of scrolling text to explain everything, maybe do it through an in game cutscene or tutorial. I know time in game jams is limited, but I would still like to have seen something more creative. Other than that, nice game!

Developer

We had the title crawl instead of a normal cut scene because "there are no bad ideas" and it was quicker to make that than programming more dialog boxes.

makes sense, time is precious in game jams

The idea is cool and the visuals are amazing, but the gameplay at the end was randomly clicking one of the options and keep going. I guess this is exactly the point to follow the theme, a cool interpretation, but in the end a little boring.

Developer

Frustrating without being boring is a difficult knife's edge to walk.

Looks amazing and great, but not very fun to play. Im not even sure that my choices affected anything at all.

This is a really cool idea! A visual novel where you can't control what you say! Great Execution too
