Hey nice work! Got some good ole Oregon Trail vibes. This got unexpectedly deep actually. At first I resisted the mysterious man, but after several failed attempts I decided 'what-the-hey,' and accepted. Interesting take on the theme, and, may I say, life in general? (I also poked around at the code hehe)
Great game! I managed to reach the end, but gave up almost everything in progress! I had a great time!
Hodor is that you? :cry: Nice game :slight_smile:
NICE WORK
Wow! The parts about giving up on things to reach the goal was genius. Especially the stars!
Very philosophical both by name and by content. The decision really made a difference to the journey and the experience.
Solid work with a deep message. Thank you for this thoughtful art piece.
I loved it! Tried it a couple of times to try both declining all offers by the mysterious man, and accepting all of his offers.
What a journey, really enjoyed the effects of accepting the weird man proposals. Very nice work!
Awesome! Tells a nice little story and love the art.
Crisp graphics & well thought out.
Quite minimal but tasteful splashes of art and written atmosphere that I quite enjoyed! Really nice style and tone here.
I spent around 5 minutes thinking about the bizarre questions. It was really good experience. Thank you! Implementation is also great!
I really enjoyed this, the graphics are simple but reminiscent of the old Oregon Trail games. I liked the idea of getting an advantage by making a deal with the devil, but losing something in the process.
I find your compo interesting as well as the feelings it gives when you play it. Usually, I find it difficult to make in-game choices that are not in line with my values (yes I know...). I did it anyway to see where those deals would lead : my favorite is the effect when you choose to loose an eye :) A music would have added a lot to the atmosphere!
I made it! Interesting game, I wonder what would happen if I gave the priest a food. Good job!
Usually not a fan of story telling games, but this one was different. Really cool interactions. Though I lost my left eye, had 9999 bandages and food but lost the colour of the world. 5/7 would do everything again.
Nice game, nice story! I enjoyed playing this one, making decisions, and seeing how they worked out. Nicely written!
The first thought i had when playing this was definetely Oregon Trail. Its a cool fun little game, and id argue definetely a bit of a unique take on this from what i have seen around so far
It's fun to play. I like it.
I starved to death! I found some bandages, then I gave a priest some food, he gave me advice on a shortcut, then I tried to ford a river which soaked my medical supplies, and then I starved. Then 4 miles to go and I bled to death, because I had bandaged a soldier along the way. This game was cool. I really enjoyed it. Great job!
Liked it, very cool. But the ending was a bit disapointing.
Nice work!
Really cool interpretation of the theme! I love your take on the Oregon trail formula, focusing more on the philosophical consequences of your actions. I did one run without taking any of the man's deals and one where I took them all just to see what would happen. I think this game could use some ambiance or music to really heighten what you have here. Great work!
Nice one, I liked the ambiance and all but already at my first attempt I had no reason to sell anything to the man and "won" without suffering from nothing. I guess I have made just the right choices.
Nice take on the little animations to get in the mood while it is just a text game.
Starved a couple of times, bled another, and eventually I traded a lot just to see the ending.
Great entry, the only relatively minor issue I could think of is that outcomes for event seem fixed (or I was super lucky), so with multiple playthroughs you end up figuring out what choices to pick.
I really enjoyed playing it, congrats!
