Sublime narration ! Bravo !

linuus 2013-04-28 20:03

Haha, I like it! ^^

Nice game! I enjoyed the visuals and audio a lot. Just one thing: at the end, I think the last sentence should read:

"The guards led him to the throne, where he sat to be crowned."

Keep up the good work!

Great game!

mondoshawan 2013-04-28 23:55

Wow. That was awesome. Love the storytelling and the way it worked out. =o)

Nice story !

lythom 2013-04-29 06:05

Thanks all !
Tyro> As this is a grammatical error I think it's not cheating to correct it so... fixed ! Thanks =)

Awesome mood :)

I really like this game, but I'd really like to see it go further. I like the light casting. I'd like it to be longer and more difficult, and perhaps multiple paths you could follow. Great game overall!

maxgun 2013-04-29 19:11

Awesome. Really nicely done :)

dray 2013-04-29 20:12

Excelent Audio, Great story, cool art. a very well made game!
the only thing i can say as a feedback is the dragon, he need some kind of dead animation or to disapear.

8bitpimp 2013-04-29 22:43

Very unique. Well done :)

dax 2013-04-30 00:08

Really nice, too bad the stroy ended too fast :(

rastagong 2013-04-30 00:46

So short, so good! <3
I loved the art, the story, the music. So make a sequel, maybe?

fredericrp 2013-04-30 09:36

Ahah, it was fun and well written :)
I liked that the music starts with the action

zinfandel 2013-04-30 10:42

I absolutely loved this one! The effect of highlighting to see what's going on is a brilliant way to invoke curiosity and tell a story. The graphics and audio all work well together.
My only comment - the font is very difficult to read, and may make some miss the story.

oatsbarley 2013-04-30 11:04

Oh, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. The graphical gimmick is pretty cool, and the audio fits really well. I love that you can have two different stories if you play through it silhouetted or lit up. Great work!

omaromeir 2013-04-30 21:04

Wow, I was truly amazed by this. Awesome technique, idea, execution and story :O. I loved it. Only problem is text can be hard to read, but that's such a small complaint. Bravo!

tankete 2013-05-01 06:50

It's the new Don Quixote! Great idea and implementation. Loved it! :)

angerus 2013-05-01 14:57

Cute little game! A bit too short on the gameplay in my opinion but whatever, a cool experience!

ariake81 2013-05-02 21:17

Really enjoyed the story, plot could do with a little more depth and better pacing (doesn't need to be as quick) but overall great experience

arakhnor 2013-05-03 13:24

Nice little game :) I really enjoyed it, simple and the narration was good. ( Thanks for the french version BTW ). I also liked the music :) Too bad it was so short :(

Good job!

ataxkt 2013-05-03 14:10

Excellent, a genuinely good narrative game! Very minimal too, every action the player has helps tell the story in ways only possible for an interactive medium. 5 stars!

kibertoad 2013-05-03 22:53

Nice artstyle, not much of a game or a story, though.

kibertoad 2013-05-03 22:56

Haha, missed the narrative trick during first playthrough. Excellent idea!

minionstudios 2013-05-05 15:59

WOW! I did not use the click mechanic the first time! Afterwards, I realized what it meant.

kefir 2013-05-05 16:38

Wow! Not really a game, but it is really cool interactive narrative! Very cinematic. I would call it the real piece of Art! :)

thomastc 2013-05-05 18:17

Not much of a game here, but a great work nonetheless!

scriptorum 2013-05-08 19:31

Nice one, Lythom. I like the lighting effects, and how you worked that into the gameplay.

2013-05-10 02:26

Man, for such a simple little game the narration was great. Loved the interface and twist! Kinda made me sad. Only wish it was longer! Great work!

nilstastic 2013-05-10 10:37

Nice, but the story ended too fast :) Nice Graphics!

ddlyheadshot 2013-05-10 11:53

Incredible and thought-provoking!

bender 2013-05-13 14:29

Well, I wasn't expecting that... overlapping the 2 stories like you did was actually pretty smart ! Great and innovative way to tell a story, I loved it !
