I'll be honest I had not the faintest notion of what the cinnamon toast I was doing

to be fair, I had exactly the same problem, the first few times I played it and I was on a team that made it!


I encourage people to listen carefully to the audio at the start to get the instructions, and once you get the idea of the game, it’s actually quite compelling.


thanks for playing!

I assure you I pay attention to instructions. I've been known to tell people to do that myself. I still didn't know what the goal was, or where exactly I was supposed to click. I could probably get into the mechanics if I had a sense of direction.

Nice entry, the game is polished, the atmosphere is successful, the theme is respected. At first the game is not very understandable in terms of the user interface. All that's missing is a little tutorial!

Great work, congrats to the team :)

For information on the web version (each time I tried) the game systematically blocks after doing the first action "kill" or "bribe".

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

Okay this looks really great. I enjoyed the gameplay itself. Though, for some reason I was able to enjoy in only on third time, because on my 2 first tries I think I got soft locked somehow and after ending a turn I was not able to continue, clicked on everything on the screen but nothing happened. Anyway it does not matter that much, the idea is great, love the voice acting and all the sound design, it even feels tactile, amazing feeling when you just hover the cursor over items.

Developer

Thank you for playing. I suspect your soft lock was on web version ? Happy to hear you enjoyed the game enough to get pass the bug.

Yeah yeah on web version, sorry forgot to mention. At first it happened after killing the first enemy, and second time I think I was not able to do anything from the start.
