I really like the art here.

baggersmurf 2024-04-16 09:09

Great job! The mysterious feel drew me in, but I easily got disoriented and stuck.

REALLY nice and well made, the graphics are so well made

I really liked the visuals of the game but game got a bit boring after playing a while

ghostdev708 2024-04-16 09:13

Love the art and environment!

Keep at it! 👍

The vibe was amazing, the music superb. I really like the exploration aspect and the typing mechanic. The story got me involved as well. I'd maybe add something to move faster so backtracking is not that hard. Otherwise, super amazing game!

I love the pixel art. The puzzles had me thinking as well. Good job!

I like the art a lot ! Really misterious

i played the game untill i reach the part where i need to revive the witch or something. i try the asnoixa but nothing happen, i saw another summon mark but its blocked by some type of sign, idk how to acces it, am i missing something?

overall, this game is great, but i know this game could be better, adding more detail to the environtment could boost the mood. something i love is that u can just finished the game once you know the key without starting over.

This one had me hooked and curious about the mysteries behind the games setting. I enjoyed the puzzles a lot! Traversing the map was a little tideous.

Interesting game, very unique. I liked the vibe of it, but couldn't quite figure out what to do. The music was very calming :slight_smile:

So fun mechanic with typing spells!

I’m really like art and atmospheric ❤️

Really loved the art style and the lore building that was in that library! Felt some difficulty and confusion in regards to the switch portion and how we were supposed to get to the other side; since it seemed like we were supposed to do to that before proceeding on to the demon in the salt circle. Loved the music as well!

Nice game! Really enjoyed the overall idea, and I think it was all implemented well. The gameplay is creative and packaged neatly, and as someone who enjoys typing in general, I'm a fan.

The writing is also really good; it all felt consistent, and going through each of them did definitely made me ponder life a bit. And then I realized that there have been clues and new words in each entry the entire time, which is when I finally started playing the game. The unique language and names are fascinating, and each esoteric word was introduced in such a seamless manner, having interesting and significant value to the gameplay both by story and by mechanics. I also enjoyed the little 4th wall breaks and creator comments in the library.

**SPOILER ALERT** Unfortunately, I got stuck as well at what seemed to be the ending, and I feel like what I was missing was the soul's name. Not fully confident I understood what P+N+W meant; my guess is that it indicates the order of the words or some form of concatenation. My approach was to read each entry and type out every single foreign word, seeing if the game accepts it as significant, then go to the last area and type out each word in all possible permutations (i.e., brute forcing). Couldn't figure it out though, and as I'd spent over an hour, Ihad to concede.

Other than that though, the puzzles were satisfying and the whole experience was quite immersive. Really impressive work!

Why did it take me so long to find a treasure of a game like yours? There must be a glitch in the LD's recommendation algorithm! :D Seriously, I can sense the immense effort and extensive work you've put into this game. As a fan of puzzle games, I know just how much work goes into creating one. If I were to take on such a project, I'm afraid I'd have pulled out all my hair by now. It's quite unfair and illogical that while our game has received attention and affection, your excellent game is still struggling on the "lifeline." So, I want to do my best to help you get through this tough time. Rating your game and leaving kind feedback is probably one of the few things I can do right now. After that, I'll compile your game in a post and recommend it to others.

=============================================

If you have the time and energy, would you mind taking a look at my friends' games (not mine)? They've helped me a lot in the past, and I'd like to return the favor. Here's the link:[https://ldj.am/$385805](https://ldj.am/$385805)

@toc @irex @icaka @chanel @zablas @ecenizo @def-mane @anvilesque @drgcandle @foxwindler and all others (I don't think LD lets me add more mentions)

Thank you so much for playing the game and for your ratings! It finally has the 20 necessary!

I didn't have much time to playtest the game and it shows. I should've placed clues better.

!!! If you are still struggling with the switch barrier puzzle, the answer to that is in the library. !!! The final spell is a combination of multiple words.

Despite this, I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you all so much!

Very intriguing game that kept me hooked for a while! However, like some others above, I couldn't manage to pass the switch puzzle.

anifan-gelati 2024-04-18 22:38

All cool, but please, I beg you, tell what to do at the end. I've been sitting for over an hour, tried many options, and put whisps in different places, and different words entered. Nothing worked. I even went into the game files to find hints and found the final dialog)))))

fabighindaru 2024-04-19 11:51

@citsua Thanks for playing and for the kind words! Yeah, that damned switch puzzle is something that everybody had trouble with. Sorry for the frustration!

@anifan-gelati I cannot believe that you actually looked through the game files. I am so incredibly sorry for giving you so much pain!

SPOILER DOWN

SWITCH PUZZLE SOLUTION The word needed for the switch puzzle is Danya. I tried to also use names but I did it without a tutorial first.

FINAL WORDS Same for the final words. It is a combo of the place(maib) + name(beatrice) + word(asnoixa). Due to the time I didn't managed to teach the player that sometimes multiple words can be used. Again, so sorry for all the frustration.

SPOILER UP

citsua 2024-04-19 12:56

@fabighindaru Hey don't be sorry, things like that are bound to arrive in a game jam context, especially with such a risky game! I still had a lot of fun on Discord theorizing with a friend :smile:

klemen 2024-04-20 18:52

I love the game play, the idea of learning new words and casting spells, but I couldn't even get past the first boss lol, good job overall I like it!

cresceda 2024-04-21 11:10

This is really cool and mysterious! The premise of finding new words through the mysteries portrayed in the game is a really cool way to introduce the player to new things.
