Great mood! Very sad. It made me feel old and lonely.
I scored 4/4! :-)
It's fun with a console based game too, and it's not just normal stdin/stdout stuff either.
The feedback (or lack of it) to keypresses is a bit unexpected sometimes. At first I thought I should press enter after pressing a key, and sometimes it seemed like keypresses were lost if I pressed too quickly during the memory game, but that was probably because I pressed while the text was still appearing.
I was skeptic about playing memory in a console but I was hooked by the writing. Well done.
As expected this was very sad indeed, but the mood was great. I really felt dark and sad. Played through all four endings. Well done!
Oh such sad game, you really got the mood right. I loved text based adventure games back in the days, so I got really exited when I saw what you was up to. I'm impressed of how it ended up! :-) Great job with the story!
The dialouge is excellent, I played the game with some sort of narrator in my head which made it even sadder. Good work!
(my gf just told me that dusty was dead.. I missed that, and now I'm sad.)
A great take on the theme. I really liked it, I love this kind of storytelling, and it's really well written, and incredibly sad. Like, the feeling is real. Sadly I didn't finished it, it bugged. I typed one number during the card game a bit before the game asked me, and now it's stucked. Aside from that, it's a solid entry, and definitely a great game.
Turned out amazing
Very well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPm7OCu9cQ8
The writting! Really powerful, intriguing and nice to read!
Simple take on the theme, but it works perfectly fine!
Congratulations :)
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I think I need to feed my cat. Or maybe I need to rate your game. No, I'm pretty sure it's the cat. This was an awesome game. I think I crashed the car but I can't remember.
Now this is how you make an amazing console game. I did not play through all the endings, but even after the first try it got me so hooked. I feel like you should write stories for some bigger games!
@arturasd Whoa! Thanks man, that was perhaps the nicest feedback I've gotten in a really really long time =D
Very sad game.
I find it very complicated games that only have text, but the story managed to hold me a lot.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

Memory and Dementia. Well, a sad ironie of life. :o Interesting combination and the writing is good. I got the game over 'good ending'. I will try it again because I have this feeling that something is wrong there. :D
I had to check it out after I saw your screen-shake post, you maniac. :)
@Houruck Me too! Although was a bit disappointed that it wasn't in the game the writing more than made up for it :)
@Houruck @Random Thoughts, sorry for letting your down. That screen shake effect was really cool, and I spent too much time during the compo to make it work. But in the end I couldn't find any valid use for it. But I guess the biggest issue was the lack of time. I'm really hoping I can put it to use in another project soon =) And thanks for playing!!
Very sad and touching story. Kind of an unreliable narrator makes me wonder what really happened in my ending. Very good mix of games.
Ah, this takes me back to writing console text games way back in the day.
This was phenomenal for building a mood, and like @differentname mentioned, the unreliable narrator was very powerful. Great job.
This was pretty intriguing, and the text adventure portion of the game was a great format for combining these two genres. I was trying so hard to memorize the card orders for the memory part that I didn't pay enough attention to the story :rofl: but I got the sad ending where I died in the forest with my cat, so I guess if there's one way to go, it would be just that. Overall, I enjoyed it but perhaps I will pay more attention to the actual story next time lol.
