Good music, the text-based game is a great idea, very well polished. Good story

Music here is the best part, good story, however i'm not a good listener)

Nice little game, with the narrative capturing the spirit of the theme really nicely, with the darker themes throughout honestly leaving a decent amount of speculation in such a way that contributes to its appeal overall. I feel like a bit more style with text placement and times sound effects could really bring this game to life, since right now it's practically only a narrative showcase, but even as it stands, I like it quite a bit, nice job.

very nice experience! so beautiful music!

Very sweet and evocative narrative, I'm amazed you managed to breath so much life into a text-based game! The soft music definitely did help build the mood as well.

I would suggest spending some more time on the UI experience, especially as a wholly UI-based game. Formatting the text more centrally with the choices appearing in a different font, perhaps slightly after the text appeared could have added a lot to the eperience.

There's also, of course, many more optons such as adding some basic sound effects to mark specific moments in the narrative or using some interesting text formatting or typing-out effects to help build the suspense and power of certain moments.

But that said the narrative was strong making the experience really enjoyable!

Relaxing music, interesting idea with the text adventure game. I felt like there was too many words and that they were too small. The story was very good!

Please rate my game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928675

Really wish I comforted the dad but this was a fun adventure, it was cool to immersive myself in this story

Developer

Thanks man!

I like the game. The story is great.

Submitted

I feel like the interaction and gameplay in this holds it back. It feels boring if you just click on 1 or 2 to decide. If you added something like a fight scene with the demon, and or have the player press a button quickly to eat the cereal, then the game would be great. Great story though!

Developer

thanks for playing, I do want to improve and add more mechanics other than just pressing keys on the keyboard. Appreciate the feedback!

I Like the story, I did not expect myself to enjoy this since I'm not into reading.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it ago!

Submitted(+1)

awesome! i love how the demons come out of nowhere. made the game lively :D

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

The beginning of the story is nice and slow, but the demon just like others had said came out of no where. Kinda shocked to see that kind of development, and the choices the player chooses mostly will be base on their age. Nonetheless is a fun little experiences, luck to your future endeavor. 

Developer

I see what you mean, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

It was a fun little experience, altough the demon really hit me out of nowhere. (: One thing to improve is to maybe add some images at some points in the story, to visualize it better. But overall nice jam submission, keep it up!

Developer

Sorry to spook you haha. Images would visualise it better thank you for the suggestion!

Submitted(+1)

A nice story , really calm and enjoyable. It would be nice if it had different endings, in a seconds run the choices don't feel impactful.

Developer

That is something I never considered, thank you for suggesting it!

Submitted

Wow that story escalated quickly! lesson learned. Listen to your dad. Don't have friends

Developer(+1)

Very wise although rebelling is tempting haha. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I like the choose-your-own-adventure concept, some gameplay with it could go a long way in my opinion, well done!

Developer

I agree thank you for the suggestion!

Submitted(+1)

I really like how calm the game is and how you have to be something else

Submitted

Really liked the approach. A calm and relaxing experience like reading a book.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback man I will check out your submission!
