A good visual novel, a nice effort!
Very good story, really liked it
Very nice game, that font style was a good choice and coloring the font to show important information is always a plus in a game like this, very good submission.
Like the other comments suggested, audio would've been a boon.
My only other (incredibly small) gripe is I got the book to identify berries, but it doesn't work on bushes you've already passed.
The game is a pretty good visual novel, fitting for a first game jam game. Congratulations! Would be nice if you added some background noise if you want some feedback.
I really like this, great idea & nice execution especially for your first jam!
A good game with a good narrative. Would have been nice if there were some sound effects though
cool and you could be it in 1 bit game jam =D
oh really nice! Amazing narrative and concept, liked the story based game play) Try also my game, its fun Halloween chasing!
Nice job, I like the classical game experience :)
Done well from the design standpoint, but needs music :)
The writing style was really nice and it hooked me into playing even though I'm not much of a reader. Well done!
Really enjoyed reading and playing through this! The background was pretty and set a nice creepy mood for the game. (I died a lot tho teehee.)
love these types of games good job.
Not my type of game BUT it was a pretty good story and a lot more options than I thought. So cool overall gg
Like the story and aesthetics, but without sounds the game feels not too scary.
Really nice text-based game, I guess as others said the lack of sound hinders it a bit
I need more games like this.
Enjoyed the game fun enemy encounters and a lot of choices really nice text adventure. Only thing I would add would be some audio specially some background ambience sound or music to make you more immersed in the game.
Why is it so quiet in the woods I ask myself? Is it so the story has my full attention I wonder? I do like the writing but why am I feeling so sleepy? Is it the days on end with minimal sleep? Maybe it's me? The art style is nice and the story compelling so I just push on. I died and did some other unspeakable things *spoilers* and it was interesting. Just too quiet, deathly quiet...
Nice little text based game and story, I enjoyed playing through !
