I played all the games

Unfortunately it seems you tried the game before I patched it for different resolutions, so the experience was a bad one as the UI was all over the place. Great video though :)

Very nice game! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

the music sounded interesting, but the UI is all goofed up. my guess is you didnt test the UI with different screen sizes, so on your screen its working perfectly, but on another screen (higher/lower res, different aspect, etc) the UI is aligning incorrectly. the fix would just be a matter of changing the alignment settings and positions of UI elements in the editor and using the game view in different resolutions and aspects to make sure it will always work.

its a shame that alot of people couldnt play it, including me, however im willing  to bet this could be an interesting word-puzzle game once its working as intended.

Yes you are absolutely correct and it was my mistake to not notice it sooner. My plan was to quickly setup a web build with the desired resolution but unfortunately that backfired and I completely forgot to check different aspect ratios after that. Thank you for letting me know, I will post a fix when I can.

Implemented a fix, hopefully it's better now. Again, thanks for letting me know as I might not have ever realized.

Seems like a good copy of the Her Storry. Good job. I don't know how it feet the theme but it's not an easy kind of game to populate with contents. Not sure it's a good idea for a game jam as you will not get a lot of feedback. But you make a game so GG

The funny thing is that I didn't notice the similarities with Her Story until I coincidentally saw a playthrough after the jam. Definitely was a risk for this style of game but I appreciated the experience. Thanks for the feedback!

Have you tried clicking "agents" in the article? I apologize for the unclear instructions.

I might have misunderstood. I thought the screenshot was partial, not the entire screen. If the lockup was aspect ratio based/weird UI, I just implemented a fix for 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. If you could try again that would be much appreciated :)

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. Can you be more specific so I can look into it? For most of the game you should only need to click on certain words to progress. Was there a problem with the game mechanic or something else entirely?

If you got stuck due to aspect ratio/weird UI, I just implemented a fix for 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. If you could try again that would be much appreciated :)
