That's very cool, never knew I liked these sorts of games!

Well Done bro!

Very cool graphics, a bit long for my taste and I think I saw a few odd grammar mistakes, This one seems wrong "My husband is gone, I have no one to talk to you apart from...", and there was used "She" instead of "he" once too.

The graphics and the music are excellent together, and I failed a few of the questions the first time I encountered them, well done visual novel!

Really nice entry spend few times on it cool guys keep it up !

Of course I love a good visual novel! there aren't many made for Ludum Dare unfortunately...

The design of the demon is really nice. The music is also very nice and fits the mood perfectly. The only thing I'd work on a little is trying to make all the different visual styles work together somehow, since there seems to be a little clash between them. It's an impressive job for two days, well done!

I really liked the art of the demon ! Really cool design ! Not my favourite kind of game, but I had fun with this one, and the option to have self voicing is nice, I didn't use it but it is nice to have these kind of accessibility options ;) The ambiance is also really nice, put you really fast in the mood !

This was pretty fun.

Very cute game, the art was pretty, and I also liked the plot twist at the end!

gamepopper 2019-04-29 21:20

That was a pretty good story, and very good artwork as well. Really good twist at the end and really felt for the main character.

Nice art solid gameplay but personally I don't like reading much so I quit after a few but I liked the interaction. If you have time check out my game too

The art was neat ! A good VN is always good from time too time :)

Wow. I love your game. It really touched me. I was a bit confused what shall I choose, yet my choices (I would normally choose them :open_mouth: ) were the correct ones. And twice I tried something more cruel which failed :smile:

And the demon. It was so... beutiful.. :heart:

Good job guys!

I liked the demon, it was cute and expressive, beautifully drawn! I did like the sketchy story images too, but I would've wanted them to be a tad cleaner.

UI looked original, only the font was a bit too squiggly for the Help-section, and some link positions were off. For some reason I couldn't open the menu mid-game (esc). I didn't like the pre-choice text window, the text looked too cramped there.

I'm not a fan of sudden deaths, especially if it goes to guessing which cards are the right ones, but I did stick around to finish the game once. I liked the card mechanic, too! The story was gripping, though I agree with @bentekiller, I was at times confused if the character was he or a she. Some parts of the story in the latter part of the game were hard to follow, but overall the story worked well. I liked the ending!

I really liked the art of thi game, especcially the demon and his emotions. I didn't get thing with cards: what does that mean? Font in menu is hard to read better use anything simpler. But the game is nice I like it :3

iferit 2019-05-01 03:58

I love the story! and the demons facial expressions are awesome. Good Job!

I'm not sure about how I feel about this game... I lost on the question about the stole treasure, I was wondering what would happen if I chose to hunt those who stole it, to see what the demon would say, and I just got a game over screen. Isn't it supposed to be my choices, and then at the end, depending on some kind of average rating from the demon, he decides what to do ? I don't want to lie about what I would do in front of certain situations just to win, I want the ending the demon thinks I deserve and nothing else. I feel there shouldn't be a game over here, just different endings (with of course some endings being sadder).

I clicked on your game when I saw the demon art, and I was not disappointed. I truly love him, the art, the colors, the face expressions, congrats for that ! However I feel like there have been more work on this character than everything else :/ The menus are simple, no font, the text doesn't appear letter by letter (which would give a feeling that there's an actual dialogue), no audio effects, just a music that, in my opinion, doesn't suit the story this well...

The art and audio part aren't something hard to change, I just don't think you took the best possible direction for your story and your game design. That is my pure personal opinion though, and overall I think the game can become really great, but I wanted to share my thoughts with your team, so tell me what you think ! :)

Awesome art style, great story telling.

thesunshineraven 2019-05-01 15:05

It felt strange to me to have only one correct answer — I would expect the game and my choices to be more branched out and not to have one answer that will lead me through the game and others to end it, especially when it was more of a guess and gut feeling rather than actual puzzle. The writing could use a bit more polish, some sentences felt a bit like a cliché. I liked the art style, the demon was beautifully drawn. The UI was a bit buggy when I went into the settings.

the game got stuck after i lost my soul, couldn't do anything :'( Nice demon design though

manus 2019-05-03 19:12

Wow, unbelievable. I really got into that game and it was a really good experience. I could see that you did it with a lot of passion. If you ever want to work on this project, you should make more graphics so that you can understand these situations even more. Also in Menu->Preferences, there are still other options from menu, so it's kinda weird. Some little corrections to when music starts and finishes should be applied. But overall, it's the best game on this jam I did play so far. Thank you.
