The game seems simple but I bet a lot of heart was put into it. Also it has great character for how short the game is, and the game is simple enough anyone can play which is nice. I played it three times and each time I won, so I am not so sure if there is a losing condition. It is interesting to play the first time around, I am not so sure about replaying multiple times. But other than that the game is great and I am wondering just all the things this game is hiding.
I saved the world, after doing many unspeakable things on my journey to Hanover. I like these choose your own adventure stories. I was even thinking of giving twine a try. I think you may have inspired me to to give it a go.
I like that it's simple but yet each time you can do different things and you get an option to add more things every time you make it through. Overall an enjoyable experience.
Simple concept executed well! The fact that you put some personality in the text helped the mood. Good job!
omg this is a unique adventure for the gameplay, the structure of the story is good! I like exploring everything there since there is a save button. Nice job!
i realy like the storytelling, and the concept of the game, it was a very fun gameplay, 5/5
Quite a tense somber mood. I felt especially ruthless when I killed the wounded German without finding out if he was a deserter, and when I assassinated the un-named officer without so much as a 2nd thought. I liked going through the 2nd time with other items, and seeing ways to use them.
Played through 3 times, not really sure if any of my decisions had effects or not though :slight_smile: Also there seems to be a bug where if you have 3 equipment points you can still only get two items. Enjoyed this game good work!
Big fan of the choose your own adventure stories. I played through a couple of times and appreciated the different paths I could go down and options presented depending on the starting equipment. The one feedback I'd give is that seemingly without a way to lose it made it feel less meaningful to win. Definitely appreciated the narrative and the work put in!
Enjoyed the game and your take on Deeper and Deeper. Was hoping for some risk to my character or some of my plans to go awry.
Interesting game, it manages to set the mood very well! Would have been nice to expand a bit on what the final rating means, I'm not sure if collateral damage was meant to be related to how aware the enemy was, or non-military damage.
The replayability mechanic was interesting.
I second @maggardjosh's observation, 3 equipment points yields 2 equipment, but 4 yields all 3 and a final count of -2 equipment points, so a bit weird there. Also, if I have both the pipe gun and the cigarettes, I don't get both options regarding the soldier.
Great use of theme! Would be nice to have some failure options on the way to Berlin, otherwise the game loses its tension once you realise that all your plans are always successful.
I honestly have no idea what was happening in the game. I changed what I did between attempts and it largely didn't seem to affect anything. I don't really have a problem with there being no lose conditions but it sort didn't feel like anything mattered.
I can imagine the amount of heart that it's been put in this game.
While i was playing, i was doing the images in my head, and reminds me when i was 13y and play table rpg with my friends - same feeling. Thanks for that!
I really loved this game! Great work. The only things that i think you should put in it is a soundtrack and maybe a map.
Yay, a twine game! I liked the replay factor, gathering points to trade in for more equipment. (But what can I do with 4 points? :wink: ) Some ambient sounds could fit well, maybe. Or even some black-and-white mood pictures from that era, just as an idea. Nice storytelling! Good job!
