Amazing game and very polished! i'm pretty curious on how you made the string animations (the ones with each letter of the word moving) but that's just me. Very well done!

Using textmeshpro (a unity thing), each letter is rendered on its own mesh; I’m just moving those individual meshes around using a script. If you wanted to replicate, there’d be plenty of assets available, or you can check out the tmp sample project, which has some good... samples. Anyways, thanks for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed!
Amazing concept! The music ramping up when you are resurrected and the shifting background was done really well! Only issue was that the game soft-locked on my first play through. It was when I reached the temple and punched the door; the game never progressed afterwards.

Sheep Herding: On Ice!Hey, that's no soft lock: that's the end of the demo! Sorry bout that, most 'endings' have a formal message, but I missed adding that message to a few paths. I'm still writing various paths and endings, you can follow me on itch if you're interested in getting the full version of the story when it comes out.
Super awesome as usual Camh! I really like the mumble voices~ Also, that jagged chat bubbles and wiggling text are great! Moody cool visuals and mood all around. This is a really great proof of concept :D Keep it up my friend!!

Black Hole DefenseNice job! The visuals and all of the cool little touches made it appear extremely polished. Aesthetics were on point. Music was great, and I assume it was timed, because it came in very dramatically at key points. I did not understand the bargain mechanic until I played around with it a bit. Some of the speech bubbles passed really quickly right as they popped up. I'll look forward to the full story. Right now, I have no idea what's going to happen.
Very very nice.

KidoLove the art, love the music, love the dialog! I wish there would be a different font tho. Great game! Good job!

Teacher SimulatorBest game of the jam !!
It's so sad it's not finished ! The atmosphere is perfect, the music change was just at the perfect moment. The dialogs were funny (and each time i was thinking of something funny about the questions, the character said the same XD)
I had all the correct answer 1th try XD, i don't know if there's something after punching the bad acheolog or something.
Obviously the concept is very original and well developped. I look forward to the post jam version, plz tell me when it's done !

Spleen.I was loving it, but I seem to be stuck here. Nothing I press advances the game. Should I restart? https://ibb.co/9rtkSnD

Shifter DemonsHey, so the game isn’t complete, sorry for the confusion... Most paths lead to a formal, ‘end of demo message’, however I missed putting that message into a couple of paths. I’m finishing up all of the endings now, and they should be released in a week or so, follow if you’re interested in getting updates!
Not in a game, I think, but I've read stories and hypotheticals with this idea, where you must follow your choices not knowing what they mean. The closest to this kind of stuff that I've seen in a game is in Talos Principle. And sorry for the wording I used- I didn't mean that your game is unoriginal, just that I've read similar stories. Yours really stands apart tho, due to great aesthetics.
Waiting for the game done! I hoped that the game would not stumble on my choice, but it suddenly stopped. However! Presentation, music, sound, plot, one of the best games I've seen on this jam! Good luck in completing!

Crouch controlI love this game, it's really one of the best narrative game here. What I like in this game a lot of little details, espectially shaking text to emphasize emotions and importance. Great work.
Submitted
Space JumblersI was enjoying the whole thing and then it goes and abruptly ends on me. How dare it do that, it was being all enjoyable and then it goes and does it.
BAHAHAHAHA
Really nice one, excellent presentation and fun take on the whole narrative deal!
Submitted
Terminal TimeThe presentation and atmosphere is really good! The idea of making choices which are out of context and only bind you later is a really inetresting take on the theme.

Game Fixer Kit 2020This was a fantastic experience. I am very excited for you to be able to finish it and release it. The tone was great, the music and the visuals were perfect for setting the mood, even the simple backgrounds and the way it twisted to different colours through the grey.
Well done for getting such an incredible concept done in the weekend, and I did laugh at the end of demo text about overscoping. This is one of my favourites so far
Very, very cool experience. I love me some atmospheric storytelling, and that's what I got. The dialogue is actually realy elaborate for a 48 hour game, even if you say 'its just a demo!' The choices are intresting too, making you realise how little you mean to the dealer; He's just doing his job. I loved the artstyle and sound design, they compliment each other really well, and I especially loved the little text effects, similar to games like Celeste, to emphesize the tone of the words. Great job here guys, this is an amazing jam entry and I can't wait to play the full version!

Tiny TrafficWell it left me wanting more. I absolutely loved the art and overall style. There's definitely a lot of potential to this. The game as it stands just ooozes style and replayability and you have definitely religiously stuck the theme. I loved the sound efffects and atmosphere overall. Really looking forward to whatever you have planned for this game :)

Frantic reloadThis was a really nice experience and a great take on the theme!
Would have loved to experience the whole story! :)

Mad Missiles!Wow... this was extremely impressive... I get that you overscoped, but even what you did manage to do was super impressive! The mood fits, the grains of humor sprinkled into the mix are really well placed and really all the writing was really good. I would love to see this play out fully.
The only thing I would complain about is, that there are certain speech bubbles which just disappear too fast. Either way, wow...
Submitted
Shop'n'DemicLoved the aesthetic of the game, as well as the narrative and gameplay. Sound design was very good, and I always like little things like large dialogue sections jumping forward without my click-of-approval. Like the concept, good work!
