KoptenOwl rated Ugolino in the Tower

KoptenOwl rated a game 1 year ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

I give Ugolino points for telling a unique story (werewolf searching for brother) amongst a sea of romance-forward May Wolfs. I generally stayed interested in the plot, and I liked how Build 1 ended.

This review's critique mainly comes from two elements:
- I feel like the introduction of the pup kink towards the end felt jarring/dyssynchronous with the tone of this first build. I'm not saying it couldn't be incorporated into the story, but it's not cohesive.

-I feel like a few graphical elements of the demo, particularly the storage area, pulled me out of the Italian setting (e.g. the English place name signs, and the Amazon boxes in the pile of trash). This is very much a nitpick, but it's an element I would appreciate being revised if this story continues beyond a May Wolf Game jam version. 

All in all, Ugolino is an intriguing proof of concept that I would like to see turned into something more.
