Dude this game is amazing. I've never played any video game like this before, certainly something that would be popular on steam.

I loved this game. The music and the art are amazing. Several things about this touched me personally. One of the emotions that stood out the most in me was melancholy, not only because you are alone in a cave, in the dark, without any npc, and even the enemies act as if you weren't there, but also because of the colors chosen, with such a dark tone, as if you were really lost, alone, at the bottom of a cave, but not in a scary way, but in the comfort of wanting to know where all of this will end, just doing your thing with the powers you have gained along the way, and with the music complementing those feelings with an extra tone of space and galaxies. An incredible way of expressing a metaphor of what is life. reminded me a lot of many of the emotions you feel playing Hollow Knight. Very glad that you guys did this in a very short period of time. This has the pontential to be a full game and be released on steam. Great Work.
I can't say how much this game is unique and fun.
Gameplay 5/5: even with just a simple typing mechanic it fits so well with the whole game concept, sometimes it has some inconsistencies, but overall it is pretty well done. Also this mechanic is later extended and explored more in the last part, which just proves that this was perfect for what the game needed.
Originality 5/5: honestly, when I first started this game I couldn't believe it. I was expecting some 2d plataform, maybe 2d top down, some other stuff with movement and boxes, but a visual novel is such a interesting idea that almost no one did, Rn I have played only one visual novel in this jam that was "The Dating Game" . And It extends beyond the genre to create an interesting and fun narrative. This game is definitely a game I hadn't even imagined playing in this jam.
Presentation 5/5: the art is amazing, the music fits well, and of course the clips and videos are hilarious. Just great stuff.
Theme 5/5: it is a foddian, it has some challenge and difficult without being extremely frustrating to play.
Overall, I just laughed so much with the videos, clips and what I had to type. Before I start the game I was planning to spend 10 minutes playing this game, but when I saw, I already finished the game after playing for about 30 minutes without even noticing. It is a creative and interesting approach for this jam. Definitively a well done 10 days game jam. I would say that the end was too much abrupt, but the whole game is so fun and hilarious to play. Nice job.
The initial plan was that instead of collecting items, the player would collect spells, this way the game would be more like a deck building roguelike kind of game. But because I started this jam late and I didn't have much time, I did the items because it was the fastest option.
Thanks for your nice feedback, and in the future, if I continue this game, I will probably do that first idea of a deck building 2d topdown.
The art is amazing. The procedural answers give this feeling of rogue-like, where everytime you start a new run it feels unique. I would have loved if there were more of this procedural answers.
One thing that got my attention is that, even though the character is the same, every run she gives different anwers, which is kinda of greepy. It is like she is never saying the truth, always becoming someone different. This feeling works really well with the no-music and art style.
