I love this one tbh. You could totally flesh this out more. I love the idea of playing as the DM villain who is secretly trying to let the party win

Wonderful concept! Really captures the feeling of a ttrpg, and putting the requirements of the in-game players first is a refreshing change of pace and feels very thematically appropriate.

I loved the monologues - voice acting was perfect for the setting, and the delay effect is ridiculously over the top in the best possible way :)

Would love a little more challenge, as I found it relatively straightforward to lose, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same :)

This is absolutely brilliant. The cobbled-together nature of it and the sound effects really delivers the home-made feel of RPG campaigns. Besides, every DM knows this struggle is real.

Unusual concept. It's interesting that you need to give the players a satisfying experience instead of just beating them. And I like listening to the monologues.

could have used osme animations for the attacks but apart from that..... AMAZING!!! I would have gone this route but started 17 hours late and panicked you have done this really well and love the aim to be letting them win but making it feel like a challenge, I loved the monologues

Not really a fan of voice sounds effects. 

No music. 

Visuals seemed to be from different asset packs.

Never had to monologue or cheat. I just spaced out my damage between all three characters.

Overall the game was simple, easy to understand, and enjoyable. I never had to change how the dice landed so I can't say if this really fit the theme.

The sound effects made me smile : )
A good game of cause and effect, trying to know what each move does.
Short and fun game to experiment with.
I did get 69 points on my try, which is a bonus.

I really like the concept you trying to make the players just barely win. 

Really good job, incredible sound effects.

I like the concept of losing to win and using rigged dice;)
