Really amazing game with unique concept, i liked it. Can you please play my game and tell me how it is?

I really liked this game! I think you had just enough interaction to keep the player invested in the story. I gave my character a gross name that actually ended up fitting pretty well with the character. lol My only feedback would be to have more visual breakup for backgrounds. Such as having multiple backgrounds for each room, maybe a slightly different perspective, just to break it up a little bit since the visual and interaction side is more minimal by nature.

Great writing and art, I like it! Could use a skip dialogue feature so that you can check other endings without going through all the texts. If there is such feature and I did not find it, my bad.

Really weird game. I feel like the reveal that I'm the spider was the worst thing I ever saw. And the third ending is just...

Developer

I am always trying to draw/write stuff that makes people uneasy and uncomfortable.  So... It was my conscious intent to tell a bit of a sick story. ) I am really glad to recieve your feedback! Thank you a lot!

love this and really amazed that you did this scenario, and and music in 72 hours. i really felt the vibe and the artist’s style come through, the dread and sickly humor. and the screenplay itself was well-constructed, the way the sonnet thematically reflected the “to eat or not to eat” core conflict was intricate and satisfying.

for me personally, including the words “there is no ground” in the dialogue doesn’t really count as using the limitation… if the story or scenario had something to do with there being no ground i think that would be more fitting for a VN in this jam.

but limitation be damned! this is a lovely work. thank you for sharing it.

Developer

Fascinating concept, awesome art, great writing. Really enjoyed it! Possibly could be strengthened by a little more engagement with the limitation/theme, but I really loved the absurdity of it all.

Developer

Oh, thank you! Hahaha, yeah, I didn't have much time to plan out the story, I seriously thought, that I wouldn't be able to finish this game at all. But I chose to sacrifice my sleep schedule to spiders... And  - voila! Thank you again for your detailed feedback!

a visual novel is an interesting concept, yet this is a game jam after all :p

I didn't go through the story much because I'm not the visual novel type, sorry. But I'm sure someone will be moved by ur product. :)

I understand, that visual novels are  more of a literature genre, but they are games still. 

Thank you for your attention and nice words! I hope, that all the participans of this gamejam will find projects, that they like. :3
