Had good bit of fun with this, Really cool art style and feel, I see a lot of potential to grow on with different card types. the look and feel was really consistent with the music, this is something not always easy to get right, Great job!
Really enjoyed this, it isn't easy to take a minimal mechanic and add depth to it like you have here. The restrictive binary choice creates some fantastic strategy to the gameplay. Great work.
WHAT THE ACTUAL BANANA ?? It's so good ????? The art, the mood, the gameplay, really you killed it gg !
great job! the feel and polish are top-notch!
Nice idea, the combo reign + building up a signal !
banger :]
Interesting concept(actually i have also used lighthouse in my game but in a different way) The music and art is really good and have high quality. I had a situation when i run out of fuel but noone give me new one. What should i do in this scenario? Anyway, the game itself is really great
@bobanko if you ran out during the battle it’s certain death unfortunately, you have to keep track of it and use fuel up signal (off/on/on) before it ends. Signals work in social encounters too, so you might want ignore what people ask and send a fuel up signal instead.
The mechanics are very simple but interesting. The game is very atmospheric.
I liked the mood in particular, and the entry feels pretty complete. The visuals are consistent, and overall it's a very good, playable entry. Is it possible to actually win? I tried twice and even when being quite conservative with the fuel management, I just lost sanity. Maybe I'll revisit later. Anyways, congrats!
@marudziik I am able to consistently win :) I guess the main secret is in using signals, but some enemies are especially hard, I acknowledge that (e.g. fog has ability to increase fuel usage and this couple of times was the end for me as well).
Which night was the end for you?
@iovorobiev Originally I didn't even pass the first night. But I played again just now and finally I was able to finish - the "Calm" spell did the job, I didn't get it earlier (is there some randomness to the events? might have been just bad luck). This plus the "Lightning". Also, initially I didn't think about synergizing spells with the choices, and this also helps quite a bit. Thanks!
@marudziik yes, there is randomness in spells you are offered. I wish I had more time to make all of them more balanced!
Thanks so much for playing the second time!
I love it! I wasn't able to make it through Night 2 though, I will probably tra again later :)
When the fisherman offers the parts of the slain abomination, is there ever a reason not to go for the fuel?
@purrseus thanks for playing!
Yeah, the only reason is if you are already super low on fuel (like 1 or 0) and high on sanity you might want to save this one fuel and spend sanity instead. 99% of cases you would want to use fuel.
I was thinking to do it for free, but didn't have time to make this adjustment
Играть просто и интересно. Идея с карточками очень зашла, эта механика мне очень нравиться. Теперь эта одна из моих любимых игр. (если еще появиться локализация с русским языком, то я буду в восторге)
A gorgeous, atmospheric and, most importantly, interesting game. Well done.
5/5 for Graphics! The core mechanic can be a bit frustrating, as it isn't always clear whether swiping left or right is the better choice. However, I suspect that’s just because the Reigns-like genre isn't really for me. That said, I love the atmosphere—the black silhouette of the monster looks genuinely creepy. Great job!
one of the coolest games I played in this gamejam! I really love the feel and the gameplay, keep it up! 🎮
This is a very creative game, well done!
The atmosphere, graphics, and audio were very well done, only played the tutorial as these types of games really aren't for me. Regardless a well done jam game.
Oh, man, I lost my mind - cool game!
So well executed! The dialogs work great in this game and the mood is fantastic!
Very nice atmosphere and art! It was really fun to play.
