Awesome little game. Great art, Gave me big frog detective vibes. Fantastic job!!!

Thanks! Frog detective was kind of an inspiration so im glad you picked up on it!

I played 3 and a half runs of this game, got 4/6 of the achievements.

The first time, i enjoyed a it lot. The bizarre characters and animations and the mystical music gave me vibes reminiscent of LSD Dream Emulator. Picking dialogue options for both characters is an interesting concept.

On subsequent runs, the flaws made themselves clearer. The long time it takes for characters to approach makes it ill suited to be played multiple times, and the short-looped music quickly gets droning.
It's also a bit of a shame to have such a detailed interior and the ability to move implemented, but no use for them in the gameplay.

This is a cozy tavern and the character design is great! I especially like the "helmet" character. I also liked the dialogue, it was well written.

Loved the look and feel of this, great job!

Very beautifully made! Took me a moment to figure out that I was changing bodies but I got it by the second one!

really enjoyed the dialouge

Writing  is one of my favorite parts of making games, glad you liked it!

Really great dialogue trees, art and music. I thought the role reversal between the two characters was really fun, rather than having a set reaction to dialogue, giving you control of both characters lets you choose which direction the conversation goes more allowing for some great moments

Thanks! This was my first time setting up choice architecture for a game, so i'm happy you liked it.

This game is noice. It could be a bit faster and that would make grinding for the achievements more fun. Still this is quite a good game given the tie constraints

Developer(+1)

Thanks! And yeah, the pacing could've been a lot faster, I know that now, but still glad you liked it!

Really nice presentation! Also wish the character walked faster to the counter - also not sure if I missed it or not, but is there a quit button or anything like that? I ended up just exiting out of the applicatiom from my taskbar once finished.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The walk speed was the one thing everyone criticized, but i'm gonna fix that after the jam. And now that you mention it, a quit button would've been a good idea, my bad lol.

Submitted

All good, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything :)

Character design was amazing, each one cracked me up. Especially loved the wizard

Submitted(+1)

The visual polish was very high. I only wish the people walked faster to the counter. At first I walked around and was confused by the lack of stuff to do until returning to the counter. I liked the objective of exploring the conversation tree and trying to achieve vague, but comprehensible goals. Very satisfied to get all achievements

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm happy you played enough to get all the achievements too, I tried to be creative with them.

Interesting idea! I  love the character model! The gameplay is very simple but it's fun to find every achievement!
