what is this even about?

neandi 2024-05-01 13:09

The character images didn't load for me. That made the beginning really confusing.

Images did load for me. Love the art work. Would appreciate a restart button at the end of the game.

I enjoyed the premise of the game, listening to diffenrent cases and deciding what to do in the end. The game is beautifully made, the images fit the story really well - and the story is fitting to the old greek myths about these gods.

I had the same problem as Neandi, though: the character images do not load. Too bad, this made the dialogs quite confusing - and judging from your screenshots, the art would have been nice. The only thing I saw during the whole game was the scale, dialogs and background.

The end texts were also a bit too fast for me, I couldn't read until the end.

Other than that: nice work!

The game looks cool, however, the typo selected is a bit hard to read (with the back mooving) Also I was lost: you don't get any feedback until the game over.

Great artwork and soundtrack.

Very visually pleasing entry, the music is also quite nice!

That's such a shame that the artowrk would not load correctly! From the screenshots, the visuals looke lovely. The music does a nice job. Since the speech bubbles are not linked to characters, it becomes hard to follow. Lots of potential, congrats for at least shipping a game ! :)

Very beautiful artwork, but wasn't correctly displayed at some places, I think? I really hope you update it later.

Good job!)

Very compelling stories, I wish it was easier to see both endings quicker! And the art omygosh

I love the art! I also like the whole vibe of it, it makes it very unique especially when you pair it with the Greek God theme! Good work!

Amazing art for a 3 day jam! It's a simple game, but I did enjoy myself. The stories were interesting too. Probably one of the best games I've played this jam.

It would freeze sometimes in the browser version and I played it 3 times, but I think I got the most out of it, but duno if it had a way to restart the game other than reloading the page. Beautiful art, art indeed, nothing speaks art more than greek gods, IMAO. Found the writting and music very nice too and the whole vibe went together well. Agree with the comment above that it is probably one of the best games I have played this jam, too bad not as many people have tried yet. Great work! C:

Really great art and visuals, sfx fits very well too. The sad thing is that i had a bug where the art don't load. :(

Visuals and sounds are very delicate. The Greek mythology background is an attractive setting introduced well (with that specific typeface that resembles the Phoenician alphabet!), and the interpretation of the theme is innovative. The gameplay is simple (that *Papers, Please* style of Yes/No decisions) but very effective, combined with the captivating writing, making an enjoyable read. The only thing I'd hope for is a bit more guiding at the ending (I was not quite sure whether it has really ended — at my first playthrough the cutscenes stopped at Aphrodite's response; the second time I reach a dialogue with Aphrodite and it freezes after a few sentences.)

A personal note: our team also thought about such decision-based visual novels involving deities and supernatural powers, but eventually dumped this idea. Kudos for making this a reality ^ ^

Nice game! Cool, chill mood. I loved the visuals and the writing. Had a great time, thanks!
