Cool concept for a game about shapeshifting. Would be better if it was a longer but overall good job!

dragonzbw 2016-04-18 23:01

Good mood but a little confusing

exilegl 2016-04-19 02:12

The story's well written, though it would have been nice if it were longer.

dkoding 2016-04-19 03:32

That was short

codeartisticninja 2016-04-19 03:47

Interesting and poetic little game.. :)

unlikelyrogue 2016-04-19 05:37

Ah, I love a little text adventure. That was neat, left just the right amount to imagination. Thanks for this

Needs a little more work to get your ultimate story across.

conorod 2016-04-20 20:28

I'll just echo what everyone else has said - too short! I enjoyed what was there, and definitely wanted more.

kappaix 2016-04-20 20:32

Interesting and impressionistic? A really good excuse to be able to rate some games!

Well done!

Cool text adventure. I'm into the enigmatic style. Glad you decided to submit.

kairosxiii 2016-04-21 04:11

Clever game, but would have loved to play a little more.

esayitch 2016-04-21 06:07

Well-written aside from the occasional typo here and there ("to close" instead of "too close" etc.), and the story had an eerie atmosphere.

Good entry considering the limited time you had!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-21 09:33

Good twine game, it is a little confusing though, I think it would have been better if it was clearer what was going on, but good job

zondarg 2016-04-21 19:55

Twine, yeah! Short, but with an intense mood. I kinda liked it, even if the later bit was rather linear.

bluszcz 2016-04-23 09:14

Haha, nice hack!

ekkiiiii 2016-04-23 09:58

Nice idea, could have been longer of course. :)

oysterklan 2016-04-24 06:59

The story is well written but a little confusing. Good job overall, nice use of theme.

marmpa 2016-04-24 11:55

Really nice text based game.I would like to see some music on it.

tayl1r 2016-04-24 12:10

Whoa

kate-kligman 2016-04-30 20:13

Short but entertaining.

fin_nolimit 2016-05-03 02:48

Excellent story writing and use of the theme!!! I like it!!!

usonchen 2016-05-03 07:02

Great try, express the ShapeShift theme by a Word game is innovated~

nomys_tempar 2016-05-03 07:16

Pretty cool, we're many to do textual adventures on ludum dares. That's a good first game. Ï should try twine myself one day...

sunflower 2016-05-03 08:36

Gotta agree with others, it sounds like an interesting story but a tad confusing. Right now my theory is that the shapeshifter's true nature is a word, or something similarly abstract (dunno, it seemed like the book was the home, or something).

Not bad, especially for last-minute excuse for voting in LD. ;)

jofra 2016-05-04 16:30

Nice concept, very poetic

jollyserpent 2016-05-05 05:35

That was pretty cool. Loved the writing style (abrupt, but still fairly descriptive, keeps you in suspence), and from what I could tell it fits the theme nicely, but now I want you to try writing more!

avinashd 2016-05-05 06:00

A bit short, but still entertaining nonetheless. I didn't rate you on humor though (doesn't really make sense to vote for that category)

evanegibbs 2016-05-05 07:25

I actually really love the mood to this. I liked that it showed what you clicked on already when you play through again. Some of it was really great poetry. When there is one statement that you have to click on, it really emphasizes it. It's like a new tool to use in creative writing! So a very cool concept.

dssiege11 2016-05-05 13:30

Interesting game. Well written though a bit confusing at times. Great job anyway ;)

glaze_96 2016-05-06 14:44

Really poetic. Nice writing =)

geckoo1337 2016-05-07 10:17

Short poetic game which is well written. It could be interesting to continue this project. I like your main idea - to do something in order to rate other games. Well done ++

dcolgan 2016-05-08 02:05

I like this kind of thing a lot. Subtle, does not try to explain itself. You can take the time to figure it out and be rewarded or give up and play more Halo. Pretty good for the time it sounds like you spent.

blobby101 2016-05-08 08:17

Interesting. Definitely full of atmosphere, but I may be a bit too slow to pick up on the greater meaning!

jaenis 2016-05-08 15:31

Great atmosphere and cool game!

santiandrade 2016-05-09 15:22

Interesting and original idea... but I think you must to introduce more multimedia elements (like fx/music) to make the player feel the story. Good entry.

maekeruu 2016-05-09 16:36

great mood! nice story too... part of myself asks for more xD

allorius 2016-05-09 22:03

I didnt understood a thing but tried to play different braches of story. Misterious and interesting, i would really like to play a full big game with that sort of narrative.

diabolohunter 2016-05-09 22:33

interesting concept of storytelling. definatley not the standard, i liked it
