This was an absolute blast to play through. Felt more like a sexy queer vampire comic book, I see what you were going for ;)
I enjoyed the game so much I wrote a review on it! Check it out here: https://open.substack.com/pub/beanstalkorigins/p/game-review-the-ruby-court?r=1i...
:,) Thank you so much! It was such a lovely read and it's so gratifying to hear that you really engaged with the story. It's always so hard to tell when you're writing something if you're giving too much away/too little, etc. That you put so much effort and thought not only in playing the game but writing about it, it's very heartening.
And the critique! All very fair points. Sound was something I struggled to implement, so it may be worth it for me to review it if I go back for any bug fixing. Same goes for the ending: it was a hard balance for me to figure out how much to show vs. what the player wants to fill in for themself, but it's good to know that you wanted more rather than less.
Again, ty so much for the review! An absolute pleasure to read.
