Interesting concept, and I'm sure a lot of work went into the character generation which is impressive. I think there just needs to be a bit more of a twist to make this fun. Maybe make the characters wackier, or rather than just have a straightforward yes/no or pass/fail you could fall on a spectrum. Also there's no counter, as far as I can tell, for how many people you judged, so there's no score. I think this has the start of a cool game, in the vein of Paper's Please, but needs a bit more work to differentiate itself and become fun.
Interesting premise. I like the randomized souls.
There is some subjectivity to guessing the weight of each good and bad deed; it might be better if there were more feedback on exactly what the error was in each case.
A couple of bugs:
When the introductory text is showing on the screen, the front end buttons are still visible--this makes it harder to read the text.
The music doesn't loop--once the track finishes, it just stops.
The Play Again at the end button doesn't work.
Thanks for playing! I'll fix the bugs now, I appreciate that you spotted them :). The subjectivity of the good and bad deeds is something we're working on, it was kind of a quick fix to our concept. Thanks for your feedback and hope you had fun playing our game!
Great Game! :-)
Thanks! I definitely think we can improve on it. Hope you enjoyed playing!
Anubis has some strange criteria for who goes to the afterlife! Unique idea. I think this concept could be very thought provoking with a little more attention given to the life stories of the characters. Not as much random generation, but some intentionally thought provoking circumstances.
Hello! Thanks for commenting! I agree that character history can definitely use some work, and I'll definitely look into improving the system in the future. Hope you had fun playing :)
I like the idea a lot. I feel like it's a bit subjective so I didn't manage to finish it. Still fun nonetheless.
Thanks for the comment! I agree it can be subjective, I'll work on that in the future! Hope you enjoyed playing :)
Could use more variety in character history. Only so many people can cure cancer!
Thanks! I would've loved to have refined the character history system more, but we were running on limited time so we had to make do :)
Hope you enjoyed playing though!
