Very good game! I'm not usually a big fan of visual novels, but I enjoyed the story, and the graphic style was very cool. Maybe a few facial expressions could help convey the characters' emotions better, and slightly reducing the flashing of the neon lights in the background could make it less intense. Other than that, well done!

Monsterly quick made game 😉

GAMEPLAY
For a game made in 12 hours, it’s not bad at all 💪😊! There was also humor in it. Liked that. The gameplay is naturally a bit simple and that fits for a visual novel. There’s a lot of text. If you want to play a second time, you end up clicking the mouse a lot, but I still wanted to see the different endings and read the different lines when you give some other answers. Fun to play a few times. Would be interested to see a more extended game with more options and choices.

Maybe the ones who are talking can not only be distinguished by the color of the header but also some glowing silhouette or something as extra indication who is talking.

VISUALS
Visually, it was well put together in terms of style. Nice aesthetics.

AUDIO
The audio enhanced the experience. Good audio background overall, and also the effects when someone dies were cool.

THEME
The theme was incorporated and checked.

All in all, a fun visual and good looking story game for 12 hours of work. A solid effort for the jam.💪

Wow, the art really turned out amazing, so beautiful! I didn’t expect to see the characters without their masks, that caught me by surprise and added a very interesting touch to the atmosphere.

The dialogue built up the tension as the game progressed, along with each character’s personality, which made the experience so engaging. Plus, the expressions really helped give each character a unique identity.

The flickering backlight and ambient sounds did a fantastic job of heightening the mystery around the players, raising questions about how they ended up there and who was running the show. It’s definitely a game with great potential for expansion, it leaves you wanting to dive deeper and deeper into the story.

For a project done in 12 hours, you all did an incredible job. The programming, in particular, showed a lot of attention to detail, especially in presenting the dialogues and positioning elements so that everything is clear and intuitive while keeping the visual clean.

I really enjoyed it, and if you ever plan to continue this, I’d love to see more of the story and maybe even some mini-games for the contestants to play.

Congrats to your team the game turned out incredible, I loved it!

Thanks for those kind words!

More story branches were planned and those who died on a wrong answer were supposed to be random but we didn't have the time to do that. It made the story quite linear and in term of gameplay, well appart from the story there's none. I was a bit worried that both the story and the game itself would be considered dull or boring but I'm glad you liked it!

An excellent game!! The art is incredible, especially considering it was all made in 12 hours! I love a good visual novel, and I also loved the use of different colors to distinguish the players (blue, pink). Gave the game a stylized feel! The dust animation playing on the screen is a really nice touch. Trivia was fun and unexpected, and the mood shift from "you're in a gameshow!!!" to the dank, dark table setting the players are actually at was really well done.

Developer

Thank you so much! :D
