that was a crazy experience. the world chat at the beginning was great. I wish there was something to do in the game while the chat was happening though. I thought tying the scaling theme to time was interesting, but it didn't really interact with the gameplay. One of the things I remember about MMOs is that the number of abilities, grew a lot over time and rotations changed. I would have liked to see that come into play (even if not that seriously).

Very fun concept. I didn't start playing mmo's before 2005 or so, but it still hits that core.

I’m glad to see a narrative game, and while I’m not sure I understood the ties to this year’s theme besides MMOs being about scaling, I really enjoyed it. The constant chaos in the chat, every character’s personality… the narrative was paid a lot of atention to. It also looks, and sounds good to me. Congrats!

It took me a little bit to realize what this was all about, and as someone who has been involved in MMO development, it's all too hauntingly real. Ending segment especially reminded me of some Private Server experiences. Really nice.

Wow! You really captured that 2000s mmo nostalgia! I love the narrative in the chat idea! Nicely done!

This game was truly a trip to the past, I loved it.

Loved the vibe in this one! I was around to see one or two games die out, so I could relate quite a bit, which made the experience better. And I don’t want to spoil the game for the rest, but I loved how the game ended as well c: I do fervently wish that fate shall weave our paths together once more, that we might meet anon in a game jam yet to be!

Wow this felt so nostalgic! I love how you've captured the early 2000s PC game feel. I had quite a few crashes while playing, but I was enjoying so much I persisted 😊 gorgeous sprite work too.

I got really excited when I saw the MMO UI, but it kept crashing on me unfortunately. 

They took our underwear, we shall take their hats! I really like the idea of putting the story in a MMORPG, it give so much possibilties! Would have liked to have a bit more pacing, waybe with more action (the story drives the player to act, the action paces the story kinda thing), but 96h hours are what they are :P

This is so so clever, love the idea of the narrative unfolding in chat! Brought me back for sure 🥹

Seems like a good idea, but my game kept crashing unfortunately :(

I got so scared cause I actually thought it was an online game made in 96h. Then I read the game page and finally understood that the chat is where story happens, this is so clever and creative! Good job!

Very impressive you managed to get networking set up for a jam game! The style was charming too, well done all around!

really cool idea, had a few crashes but didnt stop me enjoying

Ooh this game is so cute! I like how it does feel like a snapshot of a larger MMO world

This was very unique!  The chatbox was hilarious to read, haha

Interesting idea! Definitely unique experience for me :D

i adore this game my favorite in the jam so far the gameplay was maybe very simple but it was really cool to follow the story I was feelling nostalgia even though i don't play mmo's

Fun fact: Gnoms are almost everywhere if you "gnow" where to look
