Incredible work and nice story

I loved the story telling so much. It is more like an interactive light novel vs a visual.

I did however get stuck due to my skill issue because I chose options in order. And after having the "Where... where.. where..." twice, I thought I already reached the end twice.

If there was some kind of inventory showing that we had "Memories of chat" or  other items, it would make me remember to revisit the cave entrance. But that's just my skill issue

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll keep this in mind for an after-jam update.

Holy shit this is amazing

Beautiful story

Cute story with lots of charm and stream references!

I like the text-based presentation of this game, it's like a choose your own story book! The wonderful illustrations and sounds add a lot to the experience in all of its simplicity. I couldn't finish the game without a crash, unfortunately, but I enjoyed every second!

Aw, sorry to hear about the crash! If you remember where it happened or what choices caused it, I can fix it after the jam. There should be also a full restart button in case of errors under the error message.

I loved it. It gave me so many "The Longest Journey" vibes. Also Neuro and Evil could make great main characters in The Longest Journey universe.

A masterpiece. The writing is fantastic, the ambience and sound are amazing.

I loved it!

So many references, good art, and great writing. Great work all around!

I am not a fan of visual novels myself, but having Neuro and Vedal reading and reacting to it was a ton of fun! Thank you for making this possible!

Submitted

Really great novel. Good job.

Game atmosphere is impeccable and I love the style. All the references are clever and the writing is just flawless!
Favorite game overall! Dare I say peak fiction

Submitted

This is so cool, didn't expect such a well-written and funny interactive novel!

Also, it was a clever move to include FIRE-WATER game in your story, now the law requires I rate it 10/10

Submitted

Such a cool concept! I love the black and white storybook aesthetic and how immersive the music is.

Submitted

Love the story. Vedal should definitely play it on stream.
