Thank you so much! And it really is such a doozy of a piece

This was such a cool thing to play and read and experience! Also I’m sooo thrilled to learn about a funky engine to try out

This is soooo good. I was completely engrossed from start to finish. LOVE the narrative style and the writing and the interactions between Beck and the City. I’m gonna be thinking about this for like a week at least. Maybe a month. Maybe forever honestly

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Thank you! I like finding subtle ways to incorporate game jam themes :P

I should have commented to let you know how much I love this supplement way sooner! I played the Construct and it was wonderful: the mystery of it all bolstered by others knowing more about you than you do, the potential relationship between binder and construct, the strange fugue of being trapped mixed with the potential coziness of the game’s themes.

I was so inspired by your prompts! It’s such a wonderful thing to read prompts that spark so many ideas and make your writing flow so well. I still remember that the first card I pulled was a 4 of Wands (“You find something your binder left behind”), and that thing was a second unfinished construct. By the end of my game, I had finished the second construct and bound them to me, unwittingly recreating my own situation with this new being. Talking about this reminds me that I wanted to play again as the second construct! I know what I’ll be doing this weekend :3

Though I haven’t played them yet, I like your other playbooks as well; they’re so rich. The regrets of the Pacted and Necromancer are wonderfully evocative. Thank you for your sharing!

Oh gosh I’m so terribly embarrassed that I missed this comment! I hope it’s not awkward that I’m replying literally 10 months later.

I remember seeing your Imposter and thinking that it’s so cool how two people can have similar ideas and still have such unique takes, even when there are similar themes and notes here and there. I love the humour of the Imposter (and I especially like how varied the moods of each of your playbooks are, so there’s something for every vibe I’m in the mood for!)

I loved all of your playbooks. I can’t believe I never commented or rated to let you know, because I still vividly remember my playthrough of your Construct! I’m going to go rectify that now. Thank you for your lovely, lovely comment <3

So cute! Always appreciate and love a simple-to-learn/play but super fun little game like this

Oh this is lovely! I really feel the nostalgia. I love the music also. The whole thing comes together very nicely: art, music, writing, vibes

I love this: so simple and works great! Will be using for future worldbuilding endeavours

Love the concept! Very cool, and I’m a sucker for unique takes on old gods like this

Aw, this was nice! I sometimes talk to my cat when I’m struggling through chores and I like to think she’s encouraging me the whole time like this

This was so silly and fun! Also, I’m glad someone else shares my love of library desk lamps

The minimalism makes this all the more harrowing. I’m glad you shared this scrappy fiddle!

Ahhh my heart! And I love the concept of the dog collar narrating, that’s such a cool idea

This is such a cool little VN. The writing with the textured art style plus the score is so atmospheric. I didn’t know what “riparian” meant till now, so thanks for the vocab lesson :P It’s a fitting metaphor; I could really feel the river banks threatening to overflow!

Love the use of grey text. Seconding Ray Leandro–hope you’re doing okay <3

The final line of the Throne of Cobwebs ending made me shiver! So good!

This is gorgeous and devastating. The imagery in your writing is so evocative. And the execution? So well-done! (And I like the effect of the letters drifting around.)

Honestly, this really resonated with me. Maybe it’s ironic, but reading/playing through this made me feel remarkably understood.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that from you! I had a lot of fun coming up with the Archetypes and designing the document.

This is so fun! I had no idea you could hack bitsy this much. Really cool work!

Also, I made a devilish little guy.

This is really evocative, which is so cool to do with such a minimalist approach. I like how the final room truly is a museum gallery of those COVID thoughts and feelings.

Aw this is adorable! I love the converted works of art and looking at them up close. The commentary is so sweet; it reminds me of my first trip to a museum, one that sparked a lifelong love of history. Just goes to show how well you captured that vibe!

Love the worldbuilding here! I also liked how choosing a room influences the story.

I love the exhibit designs. Also, honk!

This is great! I’m a sucker for detective games like this. I didn’t fully solve the mystery on my own, so the denouement was extra fun for me! :P

I really enjoyed this! Love the colours and the vibe, and I liked reading about each (honestly pretty good) idea. There’s something poetic about turning these abandoned ideas into something new.

So cute! Love being able to directly interact with the exhibits!

Very fun, and the rooms are so visually stunning!

Aw, this was both sweet and sad! The sprites are great, really gives you a unique feel for each player, and I liked reading what they had to say.

This was really nice to go through! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Thank you for the thoughtful comment and for sharing your fears here. Loss is terrifying. It’s so easy to get so caught up in mourning the future that it becomes much harder to appreciate the present, thus losing even more time. It’s ironic and it’s a hard cycle to break.

As you can probably tell by this story, I’m the opposite; what worries me is how quickly I’ve learned to move on from grief, but that also puts me in a similar cycle of my own. I don’t have any words of wisdom or solutions, but I do know that loving and being loved is a beautiful sort of pain, and at the end of the day, one single memory goes a long, long way.

Thanks!

Thank you, I appreciate that!

I feel this so heavily. Love the writing and the graphics in this. The subtle distortion/flickering of the screen is a great touch.

I enjoyed this! I like the writing, very stream-of-consciousness and believable, whether Butterscotch was saying something funny or sad.

This was fun! I love the little characters, especially skeleton beth.

Oh this is lovely. You really captured that feeling of longing.

What a wonderful, beautiful eulogy. I’m sure Zoë greatly treasured your friendship and I am glad that I now know her name. From one person with low empathy to another, thank you for sharing.
