I love the artistic style, although at first I got lost because I didn't understand anything

How does you game fit the theme?
You are playing as a ghost viking who is in denial of his recent death, claiming "That it is not real". Furthermore, one of the endings you can get claims, that this was indeed not real and only a dream.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Very nice little game. The polish is amazing. Very nice graphics and atmosphere, good sound nice and fun dialogue. Just one negative point: It should have been longer. I wanted to play some more and maybe go on the raid.
Very well done!
The pixel art in this game is absolutely awesome, and the fact that the game has 3 different endings really makes it stand out. The music is also great, giving the game a nice somber feel. I don't think there's anything critical I have to say about the game, so I must reiterate, excellent work!
The game has beautiful graphics and audio. It's also quite fun despite how short it was, and I think it was a good idea to focus on making a short game really good. The interpretation of the theme is quite interesting too.
I think there may be something wrong with the sequencing - you can trade a viking helmet for the banana before you actually get a viking helmet from the bear. It doesn't break the game but I don't suppose it's intentional.
I loved the graphics, but the game was a bit confusing. You can try my game to give me your feedback though :)
As was written before - short, however sweet. I fell in love with the art. Wau.
One thing that could be added : when you press space, the text would be shown without waiting to be written.
Great work!
Really good game and the artstyle is wonderful. It looks like a game that was made in a year instead of a week. I recognized the character from a picture on the discord server :)
I really enjoyed playing this game although i was not quite sure how to get different endings but thats okay ^^ I really liked the game altogether and would love to see more of it in the future
Definitely an interesting take on the theme, and a decent setup for the interactions. There's a lot of character conveyed in the dialog. Though I do feel like some of the choices are really opposite to each other, it still lead to an interesting outcome.
Especially with the endings at the end the first time. Tiny spoilers ahead but finding out the dialog options actually change the outcome really impacted how I thought about it. Also a perfect way to show it with that little fine print there when you check again. Always gotta look for the tiny text, that's where they catch ya.
I do have to say though I was a little confused in some of the interactions, for example the fact that the Kraken had a helmet, when it was instead trading a banana. It was a little bit weird cause it seems like it wants those helmets so I'm not sure why it would be holding it out towards you. Though it made a bit of sense once I saw what it actually wanted in trade at least.
Overall this game established a pretty interesting atmosphere and the setting was a nice little slice of a viking town. Like Is aid, awesome characterization and some really good feedback mechanics wise that helped with keeping track of what was going on. Outside of some dialog issues at least.
Great Art style & character design. Loved how ever interaction was so well crafted. Amazing Work!
Skumring or Twilight. The graphics are damn stunning, the ambience is wonderful and it was so so fun to play. if you increase the size of the game or update it for new content i am sure to be here to enjoy it again ^^ (PS: If you have the time, i would appreciate it if you rate my game and give me your honest feedback :3)
The art is awesome! The color palette of the background is really pretty, and each character you can interact with is nice and fun. It truly gives an other-worldly vibe.
