That was my favorite game from all games on the game jam, wdym not top 100, I'm gonna complain so much about this. 
Marvelous game btw!!!

Thank you for playing my game. ^^

I knew the core mechanics is not perfect before submitting. 

But now I have come up with other interesting ideas.

I think I have enough ideas to make it into a full game now!

There will be a completely new game mechanic, another character, and a love letter from Alice-Sama!

Looking forward to it for sure!!!!!!

Really cool gameplay idea and really cool style! Nice job! ^^

I've returned to give this a proper rating now that my queue's clear. 5/5 enjoyment, as Alice asked.

I played it again, and my thoughts are basically the same as before: Cool atmosphere, nice gameplay, maybe a bit too much variance in the time scales.

11.1 years. This was a treat to play. I was possitivly surprised by the depth of the game. Rarely do you have to mix chance and strategy like this. At a point i thought she would start stealing time while distracting you with sweet-talk. I found the dark/cute aesthetics to slightly disturb my enjoyment of the game and I think a brighter theme, but the same messed up character had been a cleaner hit. Still 5/5 since it might be personal preference!

Wow ... I loved it. Nice style and creepy text lines. :-)

Oh that was really addicting gameplay. This game has very good style and I enjoyed playing it. Good job!

A really cute game concept, but since I'm not good with horror games, when she said there's no jumpscare I immediately thought there will be a jumpscare and closed the tab inmediatly, but I want to try it again.

Developer(+1)

There's no jumpscare don’t worry she explained why. 💜

Developer

Oh but there’s a color shifting and bloom effect in the ending (after you win every game). I think it’s mild and not creepy only lighting changes.

Submitted(+1)

Well, i finish the game this time, without the fears of encounter a jumpscare  i managed to enjoy the game, and man it so god, the card game gain a lot of complexity and near to the end is a very fun manage the risk in any card played. A really god game.

Also, we need protect Alice-sama, she is a good waifu.

Amazing game. Every time I thought it couldn't get more interesting, a new mechanic emerges. I loved seeing the seconds count down as you thought about which card to play. You could make a movie out of this concept.

She seems so lonely, fuck it tbh I'd stay.

The concept with the time gambling is really interesting and a nice take on the scaling. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Cool time based mechanic.

Submitted(+1)

Ah I wish I could stay with her for longer. The gambling mechanics are so clever and the conversations are very interesting, too. Amazing work!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game, reminds me of high stakes anime gambling. The visuals are also really polished and deliver the atmosphere, together with the music, perfectly.

5/5 game

Really cool game! I don't really have criticism for this game I really like it. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

wow so cool. Could not get to an ending, though, to a bit but I was so it to the story it kept me going.

Very nice, kekgurui inspiration ? What seemed simple at start quickly turned challenging, when the dialog happens i wasn’t able to see the board, was it intended ?

Developer

Yes it is. Alice-Sama wants you to look at her. ^^

Submitted(+1)

Very captivating game! The rules changing with every victory caught me off-guard, and what started out as a simple card game scaled up into a very intense battle of risk vs. reward and strategy. The atmosphere of the game also felt pretty tense with the environment (especially the lighting), the music, and of course, the writing of Alice-sama. Color me impressed!

Submitted(+1)

LOVE the concept and approach. The motif of hearts being in the card and the stealing of "your heart" is really good writing. Also just reminded me of Alice in Borderland. :D
