Excellent. I recoil sometimes with the Unity splash for fear of odd font rendering, but you nailed it. I'd also like to call out the music for being the perfect companion and not tempting the mute button. The transition with the climax was an important touch as well. Also also, the added colour made a huge difference.
Beautiful! It was a joy to play it. Loved the art and the layout was very nice as well.
A great adventure presented in such a traditional way, it really sinks you in the mood! :c I still haven't managed to beat the creature but I will, I think? I hope!!!
Still, very great!! Every aspect of this works and combines so perfectly with one another~
Splendid illustrations and general art direction (colors and typography). You've got your share of comments regarding the transitions (I'll probably replay it if you ever update it !) but the "fade all previous text" idea I may steal for a future game !
Great story but I sometimes had a hard time understanding the motive of the NPC I met.
Are there multiple endings ? (looks like I kind of... lost ? but I do not feel I made any wrong choice (but maybe I did !))
What a mood!
It looks, sounds and feel awesome. Everything fits together so well. Kudos.
I agree with the earlier comment about transitions, sometimes it was a bit tiring for my eyes (I’m old and lazy) to scan across and find where I was.
I must admit I was a tad disappointed in the end because I was so tense and the last click sends you straight back to the title :’(
Had a great time playing tho!
This was really good, folks! I literally have nothing to say aside from what people have mentioned below, but still wanted to leave a comment because I really enjoyed it!
Well done!
I really enjoyed the music in combination with the artwork on one side of the page. It underlined the story quite nicely! Great job!
Great writing and really stylish presentation! I had such a feeling of dread all the way through, and I found the characters Grace meets nicely established in such a short amount of time.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it and that the tense atmosphere properly came across :)
Wow! Great atmosphere, great writing, great images, just great! Would have liked a more definitive ending, but as it's left open I'm going to assume that my Grace killed the beast because she is clearly badass.
Only suggestion for improvement is some transitions, having the text suddenly "appear" often meant I had to quickly scan the text for where the next text had begun. If there was a transition, for example the previous text fading to grey, then the new text fading in, I think it would have made it a bit more immersive.
Hey - This was a really heartening first comment to get, really glad you enjoyed it all! And thanks for the feedback - we're having a look at the transitions though we probably won't update until after the voting has finished.
