I really wanted to like this all the way, but frustration set in.
Got all 5 pieces, but the amount of choice there was with said pieces made this impossible to finish. Adding to that, the card game broke very easily, forcing several restarts, and at a certain point I was just out of patience to figure out the rest of the puzzle.
As a tiny sidenote, the moving text while speaking was pretty jarring.
Hi there!
Clues to the final locations of the chess pieces are all on the notes hidden throughout the station. In total there are 10 things to collect with 5 being scraps of paper that give information regarding where the pieces should be placed on the final board. We'll update the guide on the game's page so that other's don't hit this roadblock.
Would you mind describing how the card game broke? I hadn't encountered that when testing haha, but a Jam game wouldn't be complete without a variety of bugs showing up after publication XD
Thanks for taking the time to play and the feedback is genuinely important to hear!
Card game breaks whenever you hit the stack twice before it does its thing, after that the queen floats above the stack, doesn't get in position again and isn't interactable anymore.
As for the positions of the pieces. I think I understood where everyone had to go, but maybe I had 1 wrong, and another piece wasn't perfectly on the right spot. It's not as if the positions are perfectly explained. I personally would've implemented a dummy situation and just made 5 possible spots on the chess-y board. Or maybe 10, but at least not being able to fail by having 1 person one tile off.
Either that, or I completely misinterpreted and was a dumb.
Other than that, I liked the variation of the different puzzles. Having the narrative mixed with the answer of the puzzle itself is also really brilliant. (I'm just too dumdum)
