Completed the game. Overall it's good but has some things to fix like contour around the head and the annoying bug with inventory (didn't read the description until writing this post). Also the first item use was a bit tricky to figure out :-)
Inventory selection was a bit janky for some reason, but the art is gorgeous, and I liked some of the free verse poetry happening in the dialogue.
Art is superb
A nice tribute to old point&click adventures ! Wonderful entry !
I really like the mood and the scripting! Very well done! Too bad for the nasty inventory bug!
Amazing art, awesome and challenging oldschool gamedesign, this is really reeally cool!
Very nice work. Shame about the bugs was really into it till it stopped me.
Pretty impressive art, reminded me of DoTT! Narrative was pretty interesting too. Overall kept me immersed like any other game I would play would have.
My favourite game so far. Absolutely loved the art and text, thought it was really nicely done. Big fan of old school adventures games so this hit the spot.
I really like your game. The art is beautiful. Only the interaction/inventory is a little buggy. Nice work.
The visual style is amazing. I love the atmosphere of the game. Awesome entry.
I could not finish it because of the inventory bug you talk about. It is a shame cause I really like the game! The graphics are amazing and the mood of the game is super.
Totes Amazes!
Ahh, excellent! This is what I tried to do as well: a short adventure that takes place in a single room. You did an excellent job. Good luck with that bug!
Completed the game. Maybe a little short/easy, but the writing was excellent, the art amazing and the overall atmosphere great! :D
Nice job. :)
It's pretty and cute, but I still prefer your less gamish games :)
Graphics and music are absolutely amazing! It's clear it's not your first adventure :) And the rhyming is charming :)
The story is kinda confusing though. And I wanted to use dat flower for something! I was like "Oh cool, I wonder for what is the flower here!"
I looked up your game after you commented mine.

Really awesome atmosphere and graphics. I didn't find the story confusing, it was cool, and I loved the rhyming. Excellent work as always!
Awesome! Great art, atmosphere, writting! Just lovely!
Strong art game, very sick for the limited timeframe! o.o
Really nice graphics and nice old-english narrative!
Fantastic artwork and a nice story.
Lovely art and animation very reminiscent of older point and click games.
This was a very nice game. Art is great, music is fantastic. It felt a bit short, but hey it was made in only 72 hours.
Overall great job!
This was really great! A very well rounded project. Good stuff!
Superb atmosphere. Great entry!
A really fantastic entry! Fantastic graphics and I loved the Shakespearian-esque dialog!
Nice, I like it a lot! Graphic is masterpiece!
Another very solid entry! I feel the art, music, writing and overall atmosphere kept it together the most as they were outstanding. The gameplay was by no means bad, it was simple, but effective. Overall, a really solid entry that maybe could have stood to be a touch longer. But being left wanting more is definitely a good sign of the game's quality~
Such wonderful art, especially like the color palette.
Everything is just lovely.
Super minor complaint is that the characters mouth is moving even when here mouth is sewn shut.
Really great. Excellent art and animation, good fitting music. It played exactly like you expect of an adventure game. I had a bit of trouble figuring out to use the page on the branch but everything else was easily figured out. I would like to see how the rest plays out if you expand it.
Wow, it looks amazing, the story was great and the atmosphere was wonderful. Really good stuff, this is my kind of game and I loved it. Well done!
Very impressive art and story.
Holy...
I'd think you could have made her a bit more hideous. Sure, she's sewn together and ghastly pale, which would probably scare most people, but she is not necessary ugly. Especially her face looks more cute than horrific in the art, while the story implies otherwise.
Overall a great experience though, loved the mood you managed to evoke.
After some playing around made it to the end. Kinda overlooked the fact that I can combine items. ^^"
The yay:
- art + audio = mood (I particularly enjoyed the music)
- well implemented adventure game mechanics
- story & dialogue
The nay:
- "empty" actions; i.e. some actions (interact, use item etc.) wouldn't provide any dialogue or anything (even something like "I'd better not touch it" or "I don't think it'd work" or "branch alone can't make a torch", except more ye olde Englishe); I'd like to get any feedback, even very brief
I don't know if you plan on continuing the adventures of not-really-monster-girl, but I'd welcome it very much if you did. :3
Well done.
The art and graphics are top notch :) Great atmosphere!
Very nice one.
Graphics, and ambiance are very well executed.
A bit more frames for the animations could be great but it's 72h so ok ! ^^
omg... the art is so cool... But the window just freezes from the very beginning :-(
Such an eerie little adventure. Probably my favorite entry thus far, though admittedly, I have a soft spot for point and click adventures. The art was superb, the premise was perfect for the theme, and everything really came together for a great experience. My only complaint is the detection boxes were a little wonky. I probably tried to do that final combination (I don't want to spoil anything) about 15 times before I hit the right spot.
I really did love this, and hope you can turn it into something bigger (like your last LD entry) :)
That was beautiful! Just like old times! <3
Absolutely fantastic...
Hands down, awesome graphics!
I did felt the story to be somewhat rushed... It's complete, but it slightly disappoints me for having a single path, with one option at each moment... You could explore examine pretty much everything, but that was it...
I also felt like that, for someone who had just been brought alive, she developed her conscience pretty quickly...
But I admit that those two complaints are pretty pointless, given the 72 hours time frame in which this was done... It's a pretty amazing feat to do this much. Take those complaints as "I really liked this, but I wish there was more...".
The audio was also really great, and greatly improved the game's mood!
Amazing entry!!
This game's mood is superb. Art is fantastic and I loved the slightly warped perspective giving the room an eerie and whimsical nature. Point and click adventures are hard to pull off, however I really enjoyed this! Got hung up a few places with the interface but overall really really nice entry. I immediately felt sucked into the world the moment i saw it! Great job!
Good to see another point and click :-)
Really, really beautiful art and matching music. Nice take on the theme and very moody setting. Good work!
Beautiful art! Took me a while to figure out where the first item is, hahah. Overall amazing.
Amazing art and sound effects!
It has a really nice mood as expected from you :) It was short and that was the only negative thing I guess. I know you didn't like the theme but you still did great!
My only complaint is the thing @Sunflower already mentioned: for example clicking the slippers didn't do anything, which was a tad confusing. Oh, and of course it could've been a tad longer ^^.
Superb game, really liked the aesthetic and the writing. My favorite lines were the ones when clicking the... books and potions(?) shelf in the storage room - that dramatic pause was just perfect!
HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT MAKING THESE??
Looks nice :)
I wished it was longer though. I guess that's partly because the gif someone posted on twitter about this game they gave away most of the puzzles. Oh well.
Great look and feel, wish it was longer, but alas.
Art and music are incredible, felt like playing an old clicking adventure, the feeling was just great. Very, very good job, the only problem is that you only had 72 hours to do it, I'd love to play a full length game like this one :D
Lovely little game, with great art
Simply stunning. So much beautiful art, and a story that incorporates the theme really well. Honestly there's nothing I can think of that could improve this experience, except to wish it were longer! Thank you!!
Short and sweet, I liked it. Did have to do a bit of pixel hinting to find the branch, and the mouse acceleration is abysmal, but that's a quirk with the AGS engine. Art is stellar, though her head looks a bit odd.
Very nicely done! Had some unknown interaction things (slippers? generator?), but three old-school puzzles in there, and a heap of exposition. :)
Veery cool. Good job!
Awesome art! :D
Superb. Beautiful pixel art, great music, wonderful story.
Seeing the warning I was afraid it was gonna hit me rough in the feels. Fortunately, it was a great feeling I got at the end of the game. That was very cool.
Nice art, and cool idea for the theme. The writing style feels a bit awkward and forced to me, though. Still, always nice to see adventure games on here.
Awesome mood and visuals, i almost felt like i was playing one of Lucas Arts' 90's advendure game...
Wonderfull use of a limited (and original) color palette, interesting (and weird) story, and old school gamefeel/gameplay...
It was a bit short, this means it was great enough to make us want to play more !
A few interactions felt like they were somehow missing, but this is not disturbing, just some extra polish you could add. Also the "g" letter confused me at first when text was scrolling fast :) Not a real problem compared to the awesome work delivered...
Great job ! Great vibe !
That was great! I really liked the mood, story and text. Exceptional work. Only downsides were that certain characters of the font were hard to read, it was a bit hard to click on certain things, and the torch covered the text. Also, the ending was a bit abrupt, but I assume that time ran out.
Excellent entry! Art style is amazing! Congratulation!
Cool to see an AGS game! Nice work with this one. I like the rhyming dialogue, even though some of the rhymes where a bit of a stretch.
Fantastic entry. The art was superb!
Love to see a point-n-click adventure on LD!
Awesome writing, great graphics, nice game! I included it in part 30 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aghqdpQgwgA
I also included your game in an article of my favorites from this jam and added a trophy to your Ludum Dare profile!! :) http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-33-part-2-jbncejqm
