Game Description
Freelancing is a Narrative Adventure game where you take up the role of a new Squire, aiming for Knighthood! Dress the Knight in various unique outfits, whilst measuring the impact each item has on your core stats: Magic, Strength, Temperature and Weight. Each quest will have different requirements as prescribed in your briefing, so listen closely and balance your gear accordingly. On return you'll be rewarded (or scolded) for the Knights level of success, and each successful quest will put you one step closer to paying for Knight School!

How does your game tie into the theme?
Help the Squire assemble the Knights armour by dragging and dropping various equipment for them to use out on their adventures.

This was quite delightful! Really good work on the artwork and the cut scenes. I enjoyed the silly tone in the writing and the outfits, too. The UI for applying the outfits was just a little clunky. I would have liked to have seen at least 3 levels to really get a feel for the mechanics, and to experience an increase in challenge. Otherwise, enjoyed the short experience this offered and the level of polish. Good work!

Developer

The feedback is appreciated, thank you! We'll explore more options with time I think since this was such a nice experience. Glad to hear you had fun overall :)

Sorry unfortunately I have only 5 stars for graphics due to itch.io limitations. I would have spent around 10/10 if possible! Definitely not my favorite game type but this extremely well execution and well made game kept me playing whole time. Probably I also don’t wanted to miss any picture you made… I hope you guys continue making games! Good Job!!!!

Really great work for an extremely tight timeline. Graphic work is obviously top notch. Did feel like there was maybe too much narrative before getting to the actual gameplay, but to be fair I don't play a lot of visual novels.

Developer

That's great feedback, thank you a lot! We really appreciate you taking the time to say kind words. Hope you have a great day!!

Developer

Fantastic demo from a 2 person team! Every part of this game exudes polish from the illustrations and animation to the simplicity and elegance of design. My only wish is that it was easier to play dress up with the man. He looked very silly, and I loved that.

Keep making games!

Developer(+1)

Oh wow you really made my day, thank you so much for leaving such a kind review! It's been a ride but we are very happy with the outcome and hearing this will motivate us to do more for sure!! Have a great day <3

Amazing polish on the art side. The UI, map, color design and theme, especially the characters and their expressions - all super well done.

Developer

Thank you so so much!

What a great game! So beautiful, plays really well. Fun trying to solve the challenge of what to wear. Especially when there are clear outfits that I'd much rather pick ;p

It's reminded me of a game that I wanted to make some 10 odd years ago. Thanks for helping remind me of that.

Would love to see this turned into a full game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate it! Especially the fact you liked the outfit picking and the items in general. We're just starting out and that's a huge compliment :)

Well keep up the momentum! This is such a fun game and I'd definitely hand over money for a full game. Super charming. Thank you!

lovely art and audio. the highlight for me were the items, had a lot of fun just reading through them. though i didnt quite understand how they affected the outcome. but in any case wow great job!!

Developer

Ah thank you so much for your detailed feedback, that means a lot! We'll work further on the numbers part but really happy you enjoyed it overall!

Great artwork! Great audio. Nice idea. Creative costume items. I enjoyed the paper doll simulator, but didn't get invested in the stats.

Developer

Thanks a bunch! We were trying to figure a balance but totally agree the stats need more to them ^_^
