I really dig this. It's weird, full of weeb stuff, kept me guessing. It's a really wild departure from the "standard" LD48 game. Art style is wild and interesting. If I was going to make any suggestions it would be to reduce the detail in some of the screens as they're a bit overwhelming. But super solid all around.
This is cute asf. Music is banging, graphics look good, too. Overall really wonderful. The controls/gameplay are a little hard to work with, but maybe that's part of the charm and the challenge.
I really dig it. I think it has some issues, but there's a lot of fun little game here. The visuals and presentation are really fabulous. The camera is pretty hateful, however, and some of the mechanics are unintuitive. Nice little game, altogether. I want to revisit it and get further into it, and I think that's the mark of a good game.
I feel like I shouldn't like this game because of sort of simplistic graphics and gameplay... but I kind of love it? It's just such a joy to play. I finished it and I'm really glad I did. Well done.
You swung hard with this, and I admire the hell out of it. You did a lot really well, it's gorgeous and you've built a really interesting little world. It's not clear enough imo what is the play mechanic or what to do next, but it's lovely and I like it. One of your devs told me on twitch tonight you rebuilt a lot of it Sunday because you had to pivot, and that's a heroic feat. Altogether you should be really proud of this and I like what you've done here.
Oooh this game is hateful. The dev hung out with me on stream and chatted with me as I played this game (very badly).
It's an excellent example of the genre (QUOP and Getting Over It were provided examples and they suit it)
My favorite thing is the "tutorial button" that takes you to a Youtube video. Such a troll. Love it. Glad this got made for LD. You're awesome.
@backurio I'm always glad that my suffering can bring some joy to others haha. I did piece together that there might have been some method to your madness but I love the additional layer of it just loading that YT video. Great job all things considered!
Very cool little game. Nice to see the strategy RPG genre represented in LD48, and a unique spin on the theme. I'm definitely going to save it and come back and try and finish it. Great work!
Very impressive.
I prefer the REAL Ludum Dare.
3c51d.jpg PERFECTION.
A lot of good here. I want to call it "Slavoj Zizek vs the Gollums" and that makes me laugh--not sure what your inspiration was for the characters. I think lack of sound effects and animation makes it less fun, but the gameplay mechanic is nice and simple. Art is solid, just wish there was more of it.
I was not expecting an Adventure/ScummVM style game, but this is a great example of one. I like this as one chapter of a larger game and hope you continue the series. Wonderful entry, it was a delight.
Whoops, I got a network error. I'll try again and try another version later.

@fabula-rasa I will try and play it again and leave feedback. Looks cute from the outside!
Gorgeous environment. I think the feel would be improved immensely if the enemies reacted and it was clear what the "attack" did. It's also not clear to me where to go... I went "deep" and then I couldn't see my player character anymore and died...
I really like it. Intro, like others say, is too long. Gameplay is great, and is just hard enough I want to play it more. For a one person game, well done. Could use some nicer graphics/music, but solid and fun.
Absolutely killer. I want to play more. I'll just have to have my eardrums rebuilt before I do it...
I kid, but depending on how somebody is listening the audio could really blow someone's butt out.
I will be coming back and finishing this game. It's quite good.
I like this, it's very enjoyable to play. The visuals leave a *little* to be desired but they get the job done. It's altogether very enjoyable, and after I lose I come back wanting to finish... mark of a good game.
Cute, nice little game.
Great little game. I wish that there were maybe one or two fewer things to maintain, as I think the mechanic would be a little cleaner that way. It's gorgeous and wonderful, all things considered, just a bit more difficult than I feel like it should be. Great!
You all should be very proud of this. I think there are some minor criticisms that I could have of it, but I think all in all, you've made a beautiful piece of art. I played this on stream with one of the creators in chat and I really liked it. I will finish the story on my own. It is a very, very compelling game. The writing in particular is *chef's kiss* and really makes this... haunting?
I'll see myself out.
@emily-pitcher one of your creators was on it last night, I'm ezgoodnight on twitch as well as everything else.
The VOD of me playing this and many other LD games is up now. I'll be doing another stream Thursday, god willing and the creek don't rise!
Great little game. Play mechanic is a touch jank and it hurts my enjoyment of the game a little, but still a tremendous entry into LD48.
Very strong entry and nicely playable. The absence of music hurts it, but the gameplay is pretty good. I am reminded pretty positively of Cammander Keen. Nice job!
Very difficult, but I really enjoy it. I want to get better at it. Clever and gorgeous retro design.
Very moving, very interesting take on the game. Great example of the "Walking Simulator" (not meant negatively) genre. Really enjoyed it, love the look, feel, and sound of the game. We talked on stream--I agreed with you that the puzzles are a little hard to figure out, the context and clues are not always clear. Something to work on, but a lot of really great bones here. Impressive achievement.

Very interesting concept and a lot of very pretty stuff going on. Gameplay/controls are a little unrewarding on first blush.
I like it! It's a bit lacking in some areas, but I like the challenge. I got pretty far into it it seems, and think it's pretty good. I think it could use a little facelift, or as others have suggested a couple new mechanics as it progresses. I kind of like how hateful the controls are, but maybe others may not. In general a nice entry and I enjoyed playing it.
I really do love this little game. I think you should playtest it for mobile and maybe make a few little quality of life improvements. But it's a sweet little game and for a first time game jam, I'm damn impressed. It's really nice, and I'm glad I got to play it.
Well, this was a blast. That twist ending. Great look, nicely playable, great humor. Really enjoyed it.
I'm very confused about the gameplay on this one. It's a shame because it's one of the most gorgeous games I've played today. Sound is amazing too. I think if you had some playtesting and revision time you could have a real masterwork on your hands. Thank you for making such an interesting Jam game.
