I like the concept, maybe the amount of spaces can vary for different point of views of the conversation or somehow enhance the game to be a bit more interesting. But I would definitely read more stories :)
Simple text based game! i had my problems with hitting the words . I would love to see more storys! :)
Very unique game. It's a great concept, I would like to see how it can develop.
Really intriguing concept! The dual storytelling through hidden spaces is clever. Adding some audio or more layers of text could enhance the experience even more. Looking forward to seeing where you take this!
I love narrative games generally, and I really loved the concept this game had; I think I struggled with the smaller hitboxes on some of the words, and I think the resolution issue made it hard to play without straining my eyes. I think there's something really good here though; I'm hoping you develop it further in the future!
Great game! I think it's a bit easy to cheese by just clicking on every word and I'd love it to require you to read the text more as it felt very deep. Maybe the game could have the player arrange the word into a sentence afterward that makes sense with the previous story meaning the player has to read the text properly to understand how to put the message together !
I see what you did there ;) Thanks for your kind words!
I'll add your idea to the list of possible ways to get the player to read! Another thought I have is to only expose a paragraph or a couple sentences at a time, then reveal more as the player finds all the words. Some amalgamation of all these thoughts will add up to something, surely :)
New concept, didn't see that one before ! Quite interesting especially if the text has deep meaning !
Struggled to click on the spaces properly. But given the chance it looks interesting.
The concept is novel and fantastic, a bit like cracking a password, but players tend to click on words so hard that they forget to pay attention to the content of the letter. I'm sure the author wants to convey a deeper message and emotional connection in this play,so I suggested that the author does on the interactive play method more deeper
This is an interesting concept! It was a bit simple in terms of gameplay though, maybe you could add some variety in how words are hidden or maybe allow the player to guess what the rest of the sentence will say before finding all of the words.
Interesting concept and definitely something I haven't seen before.
At the moment the gameplay is a bit basic but I'm sure with some additions it could become its full little game.
With a bit more time to cook on this, I think this premise has a lot of potential! Nice interpretation of the theme too, great job!
I like the idea of uncovering secret messages in plain sight and after a point you can almost see where the gaps are going to be before you see the spaces just by inferring the next words. Interesting!
Slightly boring but very different and unique idea and probably has appeal for a certain niche
This is a really cool idea, telling two stories with one! I like the implementation, but there's really not a lot to do, and the presentation is pretty basic. Add some audio, more stories, maybe even more mechanics, and I think you've got something super special here! Maybe looking for things in the text that erase words/phrases to reveal a true meaning?
Quite a sad one:/ I liked the idea though. If added more texts and background music it would be great one)
