An intriguing adventure in a well-realized world! I would have liked being able to skip the text scroll, but I enjoyed settling into the world and getting to know Riverbend and its inhabitants. I especially appreciate the extra details and different camera angles in each scene to emphasize certain aspects of the environment, rather than the more common trap of having a bunch of nearly featureless rooms with identical viewports. Cool stuff!

Finished this one and I do think it's a really interesting story. I would play the next chapter to see where it's going. The visual style is very holistic and consistent, and the environments, especially the buildings, look really good. You clearly put a lot of thought into the structure of the story and it unfolds in a compelling way. (And thanks for giving me a hint, haha.)

The main thing I'd work on is just the sheer amount of text. It's definitely quite a bit wordier than it needs to be, to the extent that it's interfering with my enjoyment of the story. Trimming it to be more concise would make it a much tighter and therefore even more compelling story.

I think I may have found a bug. I assume "initium" should say "start", and it should be clickable? I've hit a wall in this game and I think it's because I can't open this book.

Ah, another game made with Adventure Creator :D I had to play it! Well done by the way, nice project!

The visuals look like this other game: https://itch.io/jam/adventure-jam-2022/rate/1561014

Could it be that you used the same assets? Congrats anyway for your release in time!
