I Really, really like the mood of the game and the gameplay! I want an android adaptation!

raisethedead 2018-12-05 18:17

Thank you @jammin ! It was tough to finsih it on time, but if you liked it, it's great !

harark 2018-12-05 18:18

Wow. Just wow. Interesting spin on the concept. Really started to care about the character.

Possible bug: The text disappeared for me after a while. I had just asked a person I gave my leg about something. Their answer appeared for a second but then all text, the choices too, disappeared. Couldn't get it back.

marc-garcia-penche 2018-12-05 18:24

Really well done. It shows you guys put some real effort, really good entry!

raisethedead 2018-12-05 18:26

Hey @harark !Thanks for playing ! I'll tell the guys to check this out. Moving the dialogues from Twine to Unity wasn't easy, we may have made some mistakes. Time to fix it, thanks again !

codesity 2018-12-05 18:49

Really nice graphics, have you made. Im impressed! The idee of the game is also very good to the theme. Good Work!

wie 2018-12-05 19:45

Very interesting story, the sound and graphics also give it a great atmosphere. Really fun, and different from others. I don't have really anything negative to say about this, other than sometimes the glitching of the text was slightly annoying, as i was trying to read the text, but it was a cool effect. Maybe if it wasn't so common as it is now, it'd be better?

damienp 2018-12-05 20:18

I encountered the same error as harark, probably at the same place, and also while talking to the little girl after the elevator… The game has an otherwise great, dark mood!

raisethedead 2018-12-06 08:44

Thanks @marc-garcia-penche @Codesity !It means a lot for us. At the beginning of the jam we didn't have a graphist, so we decided to go on a text-based game. A friend rescued us near the end, thanks to her we have some very nice stuff !

raisethedead 2018-12-06 08:50

Hey @harark @damienp @wie , Thanks for all the feedbacks, we're going to fix it very soon. And having less glitches for the text is a good option, let's try this !

grafexy 2018-12-06 14:02

Fun game, with interesting story, i love graphics, just fix text disappearing :D Well done :)

raisethedead 2018-12-06 15:16

Hey @grafexy ! Arf, still those text problems ... We really need to fix that quick, thanks a lot for your feedback !

beardmage 2018-12-06 22:20

Great concept ! I'm not a huge fan of only text based games, but this one sure is interesting. Good Job ! :)

hugonun 2018-12-06 22:32

Unfortunately I can't play properly because the text keeps disappearing. I will leave this game unrated, let me know when it's fixed.

danilo-freire 2018-12-06 22:39

Hey, love that concept! <3

raisethedead 2018-12-06 22:40

Thanks a lot @beardmage ! We thought it will be a nice experience for us to work on a text-based game, cool experience ! @hugonun , sorry for that, we are checking that immediately ! As soon as it's fixed I'll tell you :)

brownricestudio 2018-12-06 23:51

Really great! Both story and mood is amazing. Great work!

raisethedead 2018-12-06 23:54

@brownricestudio Thanks ! It mean a lot for us :)

brownricestudio 2018-12-07 01:08

@raisethedead you're welcome! This game really deserves more ratings

An absolute blast. As someone quite fond of text-based and narrative video games, your entry blew me away by the way it sets its mood, your take on the theme, the level of interactivity, the sound design, or even the story itself. My favourite entry so far.

Pros : - Great text-based storytelling, with a lot of choices, twists, and a gredat "main character" that doesn't give in to all of the player decisions. - Contrarily to many narrative games (my own ones included), this is a true game, with statistics and choices influencing your ability to go further down the story tree. - Excellent sound design - Great UI that also participates in conveying the mood

Cons : - The game really is at its best when using short, impactful sentences. The blocky exposition at the start might discourage some people. I understand, however, that it would be difficult to proceed otherwise. - Short-span decisions are a little too short (no time to really read the text)

I would be very interested in what you'll make of this game, so for the sake of all of us narrative game lovers, please carry on !

raisethedead 2018-12-07 11:42

Hi @jlv ! Thanks for this great comment, from all the team. It is quite weird because we decided to make a text-based because we didn't had a graphic designer at the beginning of the jam, and we wanted to try this, but without any real ambitions ... So if you liked it, we are very proud of our game. We'll try to improve the text by the way.

Thank you very much again !

raisethedead 2018-12-08 19:27

Hello @hugonun , we released a new version with a lot of bug-fixes, I hope it will be playable for you this time ! Best regards !

hugonun 2018-12-08 19:38

@raisethedead Thank you for letting me know, going to test it out.

hugonun 2018-12-08 19:42

What a shame, I am still experiencing the text disappearing :(

raisethedead 2018-12-08 19:47

@hugonun what is you web browser ? On of our programmer is making a windows version for you.

hugonun 2018-12-08 19:55

@raisethedead I am using Firefox 63.0.3 on Windows.

gaming-night 2018-12-08 19:55

I liked your story and your interpretation of the theme, super nice game !

raisethedead 2018-12-08 20:20

Thanks a lot @gaming-night ! @hugonun , special version for you on its way ! Can you just tell me if you had some text at the very beginning ?

hugonun 2018-12-08 20:23

@raisethedead Yes, it if I remember right, it happened on the dialogue when the stranger asks us for our name. Don't remember if it only disappeared on that specific dialogue.

raisethedead 2018-12-08 20:27

@hugonun we got the damn bug. A friend just have it some minutes ago. We are getting rid of it. Sorry for the delay and thanks a lot for your help !

hugonun 2018-12-08 20:34

@raisethedead No problem, great job in finding the bug! :)

makorj 2018-12-08 21:23

@hugonun thanks a lot for finding out this bug, you should be able to play the whole damn game on the web version now ! Enjoy ! <3

hugonun 2018-12-08 23:18

On the fight with the little girl, I picked leg and text disappeared again @makorj @raisethedead

gwinnell 2018-12-10 15:01

Great story, audio and presentation - be very proud of this one! :slight_smile:

ribout-horace 2018-12-12 16:57

It was a disturbly pleasing moment to pass ! I really like the tone, the universe, the form of the game who convey to a mood, a feeling. It just push to make strange choice, question morality here and even if I died or it bug many times, to make the adventure many times was really good !

easy82 2018-12-14 21:57

Very nice entry! I like the atmosphere you have created... It's interesting to see how much personality you can add with clever writing, utilizing the player's fantasy. Good job! :)

raisethedead 2018-12-22 14:19

thanks so much @gwinnell @ribout-horace @easy82 ! Sorry for the late answer.
