Wow, I never thought I would find interactive fiction here. Very well written, loved Disco Elysium and I think you got the essence of it. Nice job!

A great narrative game! Enjoyable writing and characterization, good utilization of UI throughout, and a smart usage of the limitation.

Developer

Thanks!

Never had played a game of this genre. Enjoyed the experience! I found two endings (spoilers ahead, be careful if you're a reader that haven't yet played the game). One sitting on the chair and relaxing. Another dying from the red candy. Was there a different way of finishing the game?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! There's another final-ish ending once you've looked at everything and your character has figured out what's going on.

Good use of the button limitation.  Never played a game like this before and found it very interesting.

Thanks! If you like this kind off gameplay, you might want to check out the interactive fiction tag on itch: https://itch.io/games/tag-interactive-fiction 

If it's the multiple inner voices talking you liked, you owe it to yourself to play Disco Elysium.

One thing I was not expecting to see in this Jam was a choose your own story type game- Love it! it definitely  has a certain target audience, so this might not get quite as many reviews,  but just know this was well done , minus a few small bugs of course.

Developer

Thanks for your kind words. I thought I'd smashed all the bugs, but I guess a couple slipped past me. Nothing gamebreaking, I'm sure...

This was fun. It's got a few points where things looped weird or an option didn't work quite as stated, but for the most part, a fun little narrative with a slight spooky factor. Sweets and Spooks!

Developer

Thanks! Getting everything to loop in an intuitive fashion was pretty difficult with the two-input style I stuck with. Maybe I should've opted for a mouse-driven interface with a "back" button instead. That would've also allowed for a scroll function in the text area.
