really great puzzle game, tricky but not at all contrived. I did have to look up a longer explanation on how playfair ciphers work, but other than that didn't need any hints.
neat concept, i really love when little secrets are hidden in text games. i do wish it had been used in more places (but then again, i easily could've missed things)
Really fun game! I do think the enemy difficulty gets a little much from the volcano onward, but maybe I just need to grind a bit more. Love the art and the overall atmosphere
very neat little game! One thing, it looks like some dialogue from the books in the dungeons doesn't disappear until you clear the dungeon, which is a little tricky when there's three textboxes over the boss -_-
Incredible writing, and the UI adds something cheerful and sinister. That last "I can hold you if you want" repeated hit me hard. I really enjoyed this
This really captures the type of 'horror' that gets to me, not like jumpscares but the growing sense of dread every time the camera slooooowly panned around. Fantastic use of format without going overboard with the spooks, I think leaving some things to the player's imagination was a great call!
Hit a little bump - at some point the world sort of reset even though I still had all my forms/items, like bombs I blew up would reappear, fires I put out were lit again. It wasn't really an issue until I tried to leave the ruins and found the barrier right in front of the stairs was back, preventing me from going to the spire. Might've happened while I was trying to redo the fuses and golems puzzle for an emerald tablet--since if you light the wrong fuse you have to close and reopen the game to try again--but that's just a guess
Really enjoyed it! Had to grind a bit at the beginning but for the most part the battles felt fun, really like the mechanics of the VA. Ended up drawing a map of the tunnels layout, very cool and not something I think I've seen in an RPGmaker game before, really fun to explore! The ending felt a little anticlimactic, though I could be missing something, but the gazebo and the garage overall were really cool to find!
Sorry if my comments came across as harsh, this really is impressive for a first game! A few bugs are to be expected of any game, and this game is well worth multiple playthroughs regardless!
I went back to get all the endings! Very funny in retrospect that throwing a saw at the door works better than the key. The 'dark' house seemed a bit glitchy, got stuck on a door on my second attempt, otherwise great game! Really liked the writing, the design of the two realities, and the lore! rip santiago though they did nothing wrong and had such a cute design..
Very cool little game! I got the normie ending first, and on my second run tried to mess up the potion as much as possible, but then I ended up throwing a bonesaw at the front door and falling into the void
Not a bug per se, but I got a serious drop in performance at the start of Act 4. I think it might be caused by rendering in the background, because when I turned my camera away from it it went back to normal. On the second station though I'm trying to walk to these terminals so looking at the background is unavoidable, and I have a half-second of lag between pressing a button and moving on screen. It seems for the second-to-last terminal on the second story of the scaffolding that I need to jump off a higher platform to land there, but I just can't manage it with the lag, Just climbing the stairs without falling off is a challenge. Is this another case where you're supposed to use the crane? Not sure if that'd be harder or easier with the lag
Enjoying the game so far, but I've hit a roadblock in Act 3. I can't figure out how to access the last terminal I need to open this door, I think the one to section C? I found the room with the skylight that lets me call Orby and learn to talk with the outdated robots, but can't find a path to the upper-right corner of the closed door where the last terminal is. Either I'm missing something right in front of me, or there's a different entrance entirely to get to that terminal. Keep getting lost in these white hallways
I think there is an issue with the "Map" block, the first time I tried to use it the game crashed when I pushed 'play'. I'm on Linux btw, and I second the folks before me suggesting a 'save' feature, especially since that crash cost me all my progress :*) love the game so far though!
ok so love the vibes of this game but (possible spoiler?) i was overjoyed to find that the 'nonsense' was a crackable code. wish i had a screen recorder so i could better grab the snippets. but i really like the opening 'monologue' (?) and then just 'wow fuck ok'. mixing up similar-looking symbols also made for some funny mistranslations like 'head erpty' lol
I don't have twitter so this is the only way I could think to tell you, I loved Cast Fortune so much! My fav so far of the anthology, the characters are so precious and warm, I had a great time filling out my fishing log. I will definitely check out your other stuff soon (including this one, I promise!)
Withdrawing my comment about the seed prices/potion costs bc I scrolled down and saw you can right click plants to get seeds :/ my bad for not reading the how to play!
