this was really cool! i got three endings (and one time that the ink ran out?), and they all were interesting and evolved from different feeling play experiences. i also loved the themes of unity creating difference, the worldbuilding, and the narration
Thank you! The one where the ink ran out was supposed to be the true ending with a "but this is for another story" twist, I have forgotten to finish it properly xD
haha no worries! if you ever get to finishing it, i'd love to give it another go :)
killer concept, simple but effective, and pulled off with finesse. a joy to play and explore, and my mind still thinks of the ending i feel i missed. what a smart way to build a world
Thank you for playing and nice commentary!
I love this even though I always get the bad ending ahahahah
Thank you for playing! I had no chance to playtest it, every ending should've given you a hint on how to reach the proper one without being too exhausting, but I think I have forgotten to mark one ending as bad, and there is still a rare loop somewhere that prevents you from reaching true ending without restarting the game xD
Oh I love this. Great use of the loops to create its own rhythm. It was repetitive (but that's sorta the point?) and I was entranced by the narrative that slowly revealed itself as I played on. Very nice work!
Thank you very much for playing! It is more repetitive than I intended, but I got carried away and didn't notice it up until after the release :D
First playthrough I think I got caught in a loop. 2nd playthrough I found a bad ending? I'm not sure, the writing style made it so ambiguous. Also really like the concept.
I might have made hints for good ending very ambiguous. Thank you very much for playing it!
Loved the concept, It becomes a little to repetitive for me if you want to find all the various endings. However great idea!
Thank you very much for playing! I had so much fun writing loops with Inky, so got carried away, I see where it gets too repetitive and I am sorry xD
