Really creative idea, I love the loading scene lmao. The art style and dialogue were also great. I didn't really understand why I lost, maybe something saying "you said something inccorect" or "you didn't clean up everything" ect. And when you did lose I thought it was a bit harsh to send you all the way back to the beggining. I liked how the NPC has modern technology even though he has to act like it's the middle ages. Amazing stuff :)

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We indeed have a bug where the dialogue options aren't always perfectly assigned. After playtesting I agree with you it should start you back to after the last level you completed, and a feedback for the player on its good or bad choice of dialogue would be a good addition, smart idea! Glad you still were able to enjoy it!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, the game is a bit more difficult than what it should have been because, well, we had to rush for finishing it. And there is a small bug in dialogues where sometimes a right answer leads to a wrong reaction, so it adds to the difficulty. Fortunately it can be fixed and is in our bug list. Thanks for playing , I'm glad you liked it! :D

I love the idea of one person running around trying to be all of the NPCs, and the art is fantastic!

Developer

Thanks a lot, our art team worked hard to give life to the world the whole team came up with!

Hello fellow NPC.

Submitted(+4)

The game look and sound nice ! I personaly had a bit of difficulty with the slang of the text messages because english is not my native tongue. Anyway, good job on making this game everybody !

Developer

Thanks a lot! Understandable, english isn't our native language either so we had to look up some slang english speaking people can use!

Submitted(+3)

Very creative and enjoyable.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game!

I liked the art and the writting

Pretty fun to play and discover what comes next

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed our game, thanks for taking the time to play and comment!

Submitted(+3)

I pretty liked the concepts it is funny haha
The art is really great and the environment sound and musics suits very well the game !
Unfortunatly i came in a bug where i was blocked in the Game ( the 2nd level ), but anyway for a game made in a 48H game jam game this is  impressive, well done !

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you find it funny, because that was our goal!
How did you get stuck, what happened? We know there is sometimes a small bug where you get wrong reaction from right answer and fortunately it isn't game breaker, but we haven't heard of someone getting blocked in a level and that is a big problem. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! 

Submitted(+3)

The name itself would be a 10/10 for me :D The concept is a bit common but the way you implemented it is impeccable. The  ART and ANIMATIONS are exceptional

Developer

Thanks for your comment, we struggled to find a name but I'm glad you like it ! And I agree, our artistic team is so talented, the game is so beautiful. Thanks for playing !

Submitted(+3)

This was a lot of fun! I love the art and writing and especially the outfits for each area. Unfortunately it seemed like I randomly lost a few times and it wasn't clear why, but it was still a lot of fun trying to keep the knight in the illusion of the game.

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

I'm glad you had fun, because that was the main goal ! Yeah we have a small bug where sometimes in the dialogue, you have a wrong reaction with a right answer, but fortunately you can still enjoy the game . Thanks for playing ! 

Submitted(+4)

Oh, I LOVE this so so much! It seemed a little buggy at times (e.g., failing/getting fired for seemingly no reason 😔), but the ideas, writing, and art were all super impressive given the time constraints, and the variety in gameplay was refreshing. This game has a lot of character — I hope you continue developing it! 💕

Developer

Thank you for your kind comment ! Yeah there is a small bug in the dialogues, sometimes you get a wrong reaction after a right answer, but it doesn't happen all the time and you can still finish the game (we had to finish the build quite in a hurry). Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you loved it :D 

Submitted(+3)

Everything about this games presentation is great: It looks amazing, the premise and the writing are funny and the way it fits the theme is, while imo not the most creative, a really creative way of doing it. 

Unfortunately I didn't get very far and failed twice early on, but it was somewhat unclear as to why I failed. I thought I picked up everything that didn't belong, but I was just fired for "doing a bad job" somehow. :(

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your comment! It is possible it is linked to the dialogue that has an issue on our side, or perhaps you were too late ot catch the knight? I'm still happy you were able to enjoy it on its other aspects!

Submitted(+4)

Fantastic game! Funny writing and incredibly well polished. Had a few problems with some answers being misassigned (I think) but that can be fixed easily.

Brilliant work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! Indeed we had a little problem with the answers, but I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the game!

Neat game, very fun and creative. I had some issue with the answers though but overall it's great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Indeed we've noticed some of the answers aren't always well assigned...

Very beautiful art and music, and fun dialogue. Loved how you had to race the hero to get to the next area.  

Developer

Thank's a lot !

This game is pretty fun. I definitely chuckled at the dialogue options. The loading screen is just spot on for the experience.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing it!
