Very cute monster girls, I love the ways the dullahan moves and emotes!

What a tightly written thing. The meter and rhyme worked so well, I'm glad I was reading it out loud to get the full effect.

This was fun to revisit again, especially when I realised my own name was in the credits, hahaha.

Played it straight and found it very cute.
Went back for more endings, do not miss out on where other endings go. Got a real cackle out of me.

Thank you! If you want to keep an eye out for more intermittent let's plays, following on youtube is best! It's basically when I have time, but I'll definitely have more in future.

Very cute game! I like the range of characters you populated the town with.

I liked the unfolding of this as you go, very good at evoking the themes.

Very cool, I enjoy how the retelling does and doesn't vary from different playthroughs!

Really great at nailing this kind of vibe, reminds me of the old fighting fantasy style books.

So good. Just did chapter 1 so far, can't wait to see where else this goes.

This was great! The breadth of options in the conversation were really fun. And I'm always a fan of any game where there's the perpetual spectre of choosing to flirt, no matter how awkwardly.

Great fun poking through the dungeon crawling stuff. And the 2 versions of the manual are not to be missed.

That's exactly what I was going for with the dialogue selection, so I'm glad it came through! And thank you for the video! Always fun to see someone's live reactions.

Thank you so much! I had fun writing with the gimmick when I thought of it. Definitely want to do more work with this and continue the story a bit further.

This game was sick. Phenomenal aesthetic with the audio and visuals! 

This was delightfully relaxing. I have a let's play of it up here!

A human.
A vampire.
A pushy woman.
A pathetic creature.
Just two people bargaining for blood, can they be convinced?

Hi there! I actually got some feedback about this a while back, but only with this comment did I notice that I never updated the screenshot example. 

A shadow was added to all the colour text to help with this readability. If you check that same screenshot I have updated it to what the game looks like now, it's hopefully clearer!

I made myself this little spreadsheet cheatsheet to and found the perfect spot to get the King. 😎

... and only then discovered I need to take every piece. 🥲

Loved this. Really fun use of implicit constraints that you learn to use as clues over the course of the puzzle.

Ahhh, yes I've hit that problem with other ones. Unfortunately the web builds are inconsistent, but downloaded versions should always work. I've added a note to the page to explain, thank you for highlighting it. And have a great day too!

Very cute art and a story with fun nuances and turns in a game that's quite concise!

That's definitely doable! Instead of lines like

if affectation >= 100:
elif affectation == 75:
elif affectation == 25:
else:

you could use any kind of true/false statements like

if happy == True:
elif annoyed == True:
elif angry == True:
else:

A reason I used numbers was to have things scale the whole way along a meter. But you could leave out those in between points and just use a simpler set of true/false statements.

Also my username on the discord is SuperBiasedGary. Feel free to DM if you'd want me to take a look at your specific code!

This was a delightful ramble, I like how it ends up feeling like taking a walk with you, meandering through the different paths of the forest as your stream of consciosness thoughts drift from one thread to another.

I've only dipped into the first two bits but the spaces to explore were very enjoyable, especially winding back on themselves and re-orienting spaces differently. Looking forward to poking around more!

This was so great. I loved the editing of slipping through the vignettes, and the photo backgrounds had a great treatment on them.

Thank you! That meter gimmick was the initial seed of an idea that everything else spun out of.

Hey cecilia! Are you still looking to team up? I'm a solo dev with an idea for a small project (I write, program and do music). If you want I could explain the concept I have and you can see if you're interested.

My new 6k word visual novel com__et is out now!

Play through without the _____ subtext and then go back to see more of what you missed and find your ____ End.

The soundtrack and the onscreen text shift based on an affect__ion meter that only appears after you get the false end first. Making different choices can take you off the initial path to find something new.

Yeah very much a thing where I built upon it to make things easier on myself over time, getting as close as i could to playing it like a regular track. Glad it was interesting!

Handy timing for this jam someone has tweeted with some different custom things they've put together for the students' twine games.

Could be fun to play with for the jam!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Thanks so much for making the game to begin with!

Incredible stuff. Love the dynamic of how the two primary characters diverge, but also overlap in subtle ways too. The slowly building tension is well paced. And the graphics sold the vibe incredibly well.

This got under my skin very much (in the intended way). Also gotta respect a game that does a nod to Gregor Samsa lol

Very fun conversation, I enjoyed the different directions the ending can go. The game definitely fulfills the promise of the title.

Loved this as a counterpoint to Breathe! Similarly fun meandering narrative, but I like how you use this more boxed in space to tell a different story.

Loved your use of the interface for storytelling, and the gestures towards characters' backstories that never get fully explained.

Gorgeous art, and enjoyed the exploration of the central question between the two characters!

The writing, visuals and audio are so strong and evocative here. Packs a real punch in quite a short space of time.

A very sweet conversation and a nice exploration of a relationship dynamic.
