It does run a bit slow. But really liked some tiny details like the eye that follows your mouse or the custom cursor. Reminded me of the adventure books I used to play.

I loved the gameplay and art a lot! Trying to make the right decisions adds a good amount of tension. It's kinda fun to be the Cosmic Horror as a twist instead of playing against/around it. Really good game!

It's a cool concept. Just a heads up though, don't know if it's a browser issue but the game runs really slow.

It runs like such ass because of the python wrapper.  I've just ported all the main mechanices for Godot haha

I like the concept of this, it's nice and straight forward. The presentation is also very appealing. I'm not sure if its a Firefox issue but it runs very slow. I am not sure what you built this with but maybe a downloadable version would be cool to have access to.

I wrote in Pygame and then used a wrapper to make it web ready which TANKED performance.  I was originally doing it in pygame to mockup some mechanics before Godot but ran out of time.  I love the game when not playing on mobile because it runs so ass haah.  I literally just finished porting the mechanics to Godot

An idea with a lot of potential, I would love to play a revised version! Just a small note: the font is a bit hard to read at times.

A very interesting concept, really loved the idea of having the stats system and working your way through the story one page at a time while balancing the stats, loved a lot of the visual elements and the UI is really good! Great stuff!

Is true there were performance issues but aside from that is a great game!

Okay, I'm on a mini laptop that works like butt, so this was too slow to be playable, but I struggled through it as far as I could because it's a really incredible idea and I think I'd have lots of fun with it. I hope you expand on it.

even though it ran mad slow it, still a cool concept cool game

It's an interesting concept! I like the idea and the story building that goes into it. 

There were a few times I lost and wasn't sure why. "Your faith or followers hit 0" when I had 47 faith or so and 1 follower made me a bit confused, but maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Another thing that would helpful is displaying the amounts of things. Sometimes I'm unsure if faith -- is going to cause me to lose, making some decisions risky, but I'm really not sure how risky it is at all.

Oh I also used a picture of earth on pexels for the center of the eye thing my friend made. The red circle is the same earth but filtered up in Photopea lol
