Sioloc rated The Thief, the Witch, the Toad and the Mushroom

Sioloc rated a game 147 days ago
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

I appreciate the work that went into this, but it wasn't to my liking overall.

What I liked:

  • creative UI
  • main menu was arranged in a very cool way
  • background music provided a fitting ambience
  • the auto save feature is a nice decision that gives game choices more weight

What I didn't like:

  • a few typos and unusual writing choices that made it a bit difficult to read
  • the writing is very verbose. Lots of clicking needed to advance to choices
  • the 'go to page x' style of choices felt jarring, compared to how seamless most VNs make choices
  • Choices - at least the earliest ones - felt either too transparent or too opaque
  • Portrait design leads to small images on desktop

Overall I just didn't want to keep playing after the first few minutes.
