Hey there, thanks for playing and for leaving such a detailed feedback! It will help me a lot. The other comments so far has been kinda mixed, with some people finding it confusing and others loving the mystery and the puzzles, so I'm not 100% sure how this game will evolve in the future... but having ideas on how to expand on it will surely help a lot with at least making a decision!

A lot of people noticed the pages problem, but I haven't solved it yet since the rating is still going on. I'm considering fixing it anyway though haha

Your point about the pages being too blown-up also makes sense, and should be easy to fix. I'm also considering other ways to guide and hint the player, maybe I can think of something that solves everything... well, we'll see. This would also make it harder for the pages to NOT be seen, which happened quite a lot too. The glow outline is a good idea, it would also add quite nicely to the mood!

 Also, thanks for rating it so highly and even sharing the game with other people. I know that doing this is a very, very ocurrence in game jams hahaha

 Cheers! More to come in the future 🙂

I’m fixing some UI stuff in my own game, take that for what you will. I’m less concerned about winning than I am about making something good - this is after all the time that the most people will probably be playing my game.

Sometimes I wish jams included a feedback & update period. Like 1 week of dev, 1 week of feedback and updating.

I also wanted to add, regarding puzzle confusion - I think there’s an element of targeting your audience here. Some folks like puzzle games that let you figure everything out and do not hold your hand. Cultist Simulator has some of that energy.

Other folks are going to want a more streamlined puzzle experience. So at a certain point you just have to ask yourself - what kind of game do I want to make?

Hm, you are right. It's all niches basically. Some people hate Cultist Simulator, while others really enjoy it for being novel, unique, and letting the players figure things out by themselves. Taking that into account, maybe the reception for this game was better than mixed I guess...

What you said is something I've already heard before, but that doesn't mean I took it to the heart, I suppose. Thanks for the comment, it'll sound cheesy, but this is actually I actually needed to read.
