Thank you for taking the time to play my game and to write such in depth feedback! Here are some thoughts after thinking about it for a while:

- I did try to voice act the lines myself, but since this was a solo project and I'm not the best voice actor, I figured that no voice acting was better than bad voice acting. Nevertheless, I agree that some good voice acting would have improved the game.

- I agree with you other criticisms of the story. Maybe a better theme would be like a criticism of how pay to get money NFT games work, where the voice is your boss threatening you or something. I dunno haha.

- Multiple endings would be cool, but I figured it was better use of my time to create one good story rather than several crappy ones. If I had more time, I might have included multiple endings.

Regarding the randomness: The drops  of the golden dice is actually 100% deterministic, since i wanted complete control of the pacing (meaning that it is impossible to win, which I think fits with the quote at the end). I wish I used that control a little better, since I think the game is a bit too slow. I would probably make it about 30% shorter.

Again: thank you for giving me so honest feedback. It is very appreciated.

Good on you for taking it like a champ!

I know it's hard to pour time and effort and part of your soul into a project only for a guy who spent a few minutes playing through it to disparage all that. I try to temper my criticism with constructive advice, but I know it's hard. It's great you can take this in the spirit it's intended.

Don't worry about your voice quality. Maybe you can borrow a mic from somewhere so the sound is ok, and everyone knows it's for a game jam. Alternatively, just have someone with a few minutes to spare voice act the few lines you have, shouldn't take more than 20 min. I'm sure reddit would help you in a heartbeat.

Thank you for replying, and thanks for participating in the jam. You tried something bold, something with a message perhaps, and that ambition is to be lauded. I hope we'll see you next year, and good luck!
