Thank you! We would have like that too, but we only had 30 days to work on this one for a Game Jam, so we had to try to be very concise!
As for Kira, it was mentioned a couple of times that she was having to take orders from Brienne, and that she made that call, still thank you very much! It’s always good to hear thoughts!
We finally got the whole team together to do a full play through of many of the game jam games! We have thoughts. Most of them are about Laurent.
I cannot express enough how much I adore Laurent. He is…such a good boy… AND THE DOGS!!! —Liam
I’m glad I didn’t beg this time, Laurent was so less sad —Megan
I love Laurent, I want to give him a nice kiss on the forehead. Thank you. (Thats it) —Jen via dictation
Very fun game, I cannot wait murder angela next time —Dix (Seconded by all four of us)
Really REALLY love how the systems interact and how many options there are, as well as the hints and stats offered at the end. Amazing work, worthy of all praise.
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and the art!! I've done a bunch of college projects before and I was also surprised we managed to get this much done haha. I went through the game at the end and was like "1-2 hour runtime???? We got that much done???" Very fun discovery lol
Thank you again for playing and commenting! It's so exciting to hear people had fun :') — Megan
Thank you!!! I wrote up the schedule at the start of the month like "there's no way we get even half of this done" but then we got? more?? than I budgeted for??? Our artist especially was a BEAST, and Liam and Perdix went above and beyond with writing and bug checking. At the end of it all, I honestly couldn't believe we'd gotten it all done either. But we did! Which is so super exciting!!
(And thank you omg Shredder was our darling for the whole dev process. I'm glad you like them!! :D)

I listened to the Waning Crescent soundtrack on repeat while working on my own game this year (it's so good!!), and I got myself through the last few days of the deadline by telling myself I could play this one as a treat once I was done. I really love the way the writing and music come together to create the game's atmosphere, and I like how the text boxes are positioned so they don't hide the art.
It was also fun to see how I found myself slipping really easily into this new character. In Waning Crescent, I found myself making choices that I, as a player, normally wouldn't because I felt so drawn into Florian. And now here, I found myself doing the same thing, making choices that felt right for Tamás instead of me. I really admire the strong yet subtle sense of voice in both games that drew me into that headspace so quickly.
I loved seeing more of the court in this entry, too! The stuff with the Prince and the politics surrounding her have me so interested!! I'm so glad you decided to participate in the jam again this year, and I'll be looking forward to any further entries in the series if you decide to make them :)

Hi! Other writer from the Kindred Spirits team here lol. I loved playing this!!! Laurent was my absolute favorite, which ended up being my downfall in the end. (I was gonna do the [redacted for spoilers] but then I realized it would [redacted] him and I chickened out ;-;)
I also loved the list of suggestions at the end of things you can aim for to get different endings. Some of them I wouldn't have even thought were possible just from my playthrough, so now I'm tempted to replay a couple times! Very smart decision! - Megan
