I enjoyed the game even though i didnt understand the movement mechanic, still moved and enjoyed the game!
Thanks for playing!!
I loved pretty much everything about this entry, specially the graphics, the characters and the dialogs. However, I must say I'm not a fan of the UI. Still, I really enjoyed playing it and you did an amazing work!
Definitely agree with you in terms of UI, don't know what I was thinking with that looking back. Thank you for the kind words, and thank you so much for giving it a try! LOVED 14th Axe Wound btw!
Okay. I loved this. This was amusing and I found the horror to be both subtle and ever-present at the same time. I loved how at the end of every scenario, there would be a flashback telling us what happened. This was genuinely a fun game to play, and it definitely reminded me of some of the older edutainment games I'd play as a kid. Very nostalgic. My favorite part, of course, was the giant rave going on in one of the scenarios. I legit took my time there just to hear the music for more than a few minutes.
Like Hawk, I also encountered the bug where the game freezes because I didn't do the bonus hunt. But that was the only thing I can say that isn't positive. Good job, and thank you for making such an enjoyable little gem.
Thank you for taking the time to play this to the end and for all the kind words! I intend to fix these bugs very soon.
I actually really enjoy games like this, where it's a little bit of breaking the 4th wall, and has interesting characters. The ones in this were really neat and quite well-written. I liked the exposition at the end kind of wrapping it all up. I would say, if this were to be a longer game, I would have preferred to uncover the lore myself as I'm playing the game. Also, the UI (even if it was a joke at the end) was kind of annoying. I would have preferred the inventory at the TOP of the screen, away from stuff on the ground and the characters.
Also: if you beat the game without doing the extra hunt, it bugs out and freezes.
Glad you enjoyed the non-buggy parts! Thanks for playing and thank you so much for the kind words!
This was a lot of fun to play. The biggest thing I loved was the art style you did. Didn't have any trouble with the game.
No bugs or problems? What a relief. Thanks a bunch for playing, glad you had fun!
I didn't get any bugs or problems at less for all that I played in it. :)
This was a delight to play! Really loved the artstyle you've chosen and everything was pretty straight forward and easy to understand! Sadly the game froze when their bandit brother came and I couldn't see the ending of the game but this was a lot of fun! Even collecting all the spiders!
Well done! :D
Thank you so much! I'm so sorry to hear about the game freezing. I will try my best to fix that. Thanks for playing!
