enjoyed the writing! it was interesting to learn about the world you had created. the gameplay is captivating due to many possible interactions. revisiting locations usually rewards you with new items/secrets, which is a plus.
ooh and i loved the font, very fitting. our game has a similar one, i just love these medieval serifs..
i only wish there were more distinct highlights of locations on the map (they are highlighted on hover, but it's hard to tell interactive from non-interactive ones right away). soundtrack/sfx is of course lacking, but i set my own music in the background, which was fine :D
scavenging is fun, the resulting builds are funny. speed up option for an autobattler of course is a must, stats preview of items would be a good quality of life improvement. other than than - good job!
smooth! crisp visuals, effects and sounds, loved the soundtrack. i also like that you animated even little details like the menu and the supervisor. and it seems something post-war (or cold-war) is going on :0
i don't know how to say, but all in all feels really neat and crispy :) nice job!
the best thing is how gameplay itself reveals the lore. i agree that a deciphering minigame would be very fitting in a full game. when playing, i was thinking about a short story "The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Allan Poe where the main character deciphers a text looking at how frequent the character occurs in the text. just my associations :D
had fun, thank you! reminded me of the old Painkiller game - cemetery, sound effects (which are really fitting!), crossbow, souls - great atmosphere! although i've completed the game, it was pretty difficult and took about 12 tries. it's pure RNG whether a demon is near you or not. even if the radar detects it in proximity, it's an instant death since you cannot run away 8/10 times. i was often killed by a demon before i even knew it was nearby (not fun!). maybe it's a skill issue, but i'd appreciate if the demon only moved towards the characher after it was detected by a radar or i had a chance to notice its shape or know it's near by its sound. overall, very cool and i see much effort
had fun. i only wish there were an option to set the spirit number for the prompt, because if i don't want any of the three given entities, i have to guess, and most of the time my prompts yielded sth that required 3+ spirit. for example, if i visualise "a ghoul", it requires 7 spirit, but if i set 3 spirit constraint, i can get "a young ghoul", which also strikes first, but has less attack and health
the creeps are real. i'd appreciate if it was clear from the start that the player is supposed to zoom in. all in all very immersive and atmospheric, reminds me of old point-and-clicks with crappy rasters. good vibes.
cool concept, completed and enjoyed! i'd rather make the torch collision slightly more forgiving as i frequently lost the fire when i did not even expect it to touch anything. overall, really solid!!!
lovely! tried playing greedy, took two wires at a time, they of course hanged from the platform, got stuck, had to release one. life lessons. that was fun, thank you!
Felt like I was in one of stories written by Andrei Platonov. Something huge happening in a vast field. Well conveyed feeling despite the short game. Thank you. And for LdDB, too :)
Completed and liked it! "Disc room" game vibes, very good, even forgot to shop in the middle and jumped straight to the next level. Polished to perfection. I can sense AI too (effects and graphics feel a bit plasticky and overloaded), but heck, that was fun!
Had a little "aha" moment like with that OG darks souls elevator when went out of the left part back to the center (good backtracking in other words) :) Nice job!
