I really liked this one and tried to finish it. However I got stuck searching for the permit. I persuaded everyone and asked all the questions and there doesnt seem to be anything left to do.

I both liked the persuading and the asking mechanic, although both seemed a bit too random for my choice. And an option to rotate the tiles for persuasion would have made it a little bit more engaging.

I was afraid it's hard to understand...
@zorfmorf: have you tried entering the castle after you persuaded everyone? If you can't, you missed somebody.

zorfmorf 2013-12-16 16:28

I probably overlooked somebody as it prompted me to get a permit when trying to enter the castle. The city layout is a bit confusing. Great original game idea anyways!

Haha cool. A good amount of content made over just 48 hours.

Quite confusing, but amazing game and so much content.

Woaw, that is a very unique game! It had a hard time understanding how to play at first (especially the asking minigame), but I understood it, I was hooked. Your gameplay ideas is very great! I like the music, and the backstory.

If you want to do a post-compo version, maybe a tutorial would help people understand how the minigames works (It took me a long time to figure out where to click in the asking minigame in order to only have one circle left). I'm amazed that you created so much content in such a short time. Congrats!

This game rocks!
Just got the bloody ending, gonna try and get another one.
The puzzles are engaging and challenging enough and the music is really nice.

I like the music, but it's a very confusing game as your "tutorial" is not very good.

Once you get the hang of it though, it's a really good game!

The concept is interesting and the realization is good, perhaps the progression is a bit too slow.

I didn't quite get at first but then I managed to figure things out.

Cool puzzle idea; it is pretty neat, but it got pretty repetitive after awhile doing the same thing over and over again, not to mention it wasn't unusual for it to be next to impossible to continue on a puzzle without losing points.

Really good idea! But it's hard to understand what to do with circles... I couldn't finish it)

xbelanch 2013-12-21 14:46

A bit confused at the first time but pretty attractive game. You must improve the explanation of how it plays the game to help the player to make sense the game mechanics

I like the multiples choices! The persuasion part coulb be better, however all is good!

tombofry 2013-12-21 18:23

Took a little while to realise what I was doing, however, once I got going it was quite enjoyable! I really like the asking/persuading system you have implemented!

thepsc1997 2013-12-26 21:18

Tutorial isn't be great, and game is hard to understand at the first time.
But overall good entry with lot of things to do ;)

amazingly good puzzle game but it is a little hard to understand at first. Music is nice and idea is sound. I dont see the theme but apart from that a verry well designed and implimented game.

I guess it seemed fun but really I had no idea what I was doing. Needs a better tutorial.
