I liked the art and the concept a lot, hopefully you can continue to work in it :)

Claw or TreatQuite a neat game. I loved how all the travelers had different ways to scare them. I'm usually not too big on heavy rng based games but this one was pretty fun to play.

A King's RevengeI got stuck in the overworld by looping clockwise around the fork and merge at the beginning of the path.
Suddenly it stopped spawning me on the path, and I only had coins and campfires from there on out.
Conceptually interesting. I see the spaces are color-coded, allowing you to plan ahead a little.

Assets for HallowbrookThank you so much for sharing your experience with the game! The levels are generated with RNG, so sometimes things just don't go as planned - but it sounds like you were able to persevere and have a good second try!
Also in the overworld, once you step onto a new level, you can no longer move. You're only allowed to walk on cleared levels.
What a great entry! My only critique is that the game might treat you to no items / unlucky encounters and that's all luck based. You should lean more to the players skill. My suggestion: give the player an item from the start (e.g. minor healing item), make an easier way for the player to know what the enemy is resistant to, make shops static and not random e.t.c. But really the game is impressive, graphics are great, music on point and the narrative brief and with substance. Excellent work!

The LabThis is really great, the art and music/sfx really shine, and it’s all polished, very professional presentation!
I feel the gameplay would really benefit from some more variety, the battles are a little one note. Branching paths on the overworld and some character growth would go a long way!
I really love this, it’s inspiring, well done :)

SummonedThe art is awesome, even though I am a bit confused about the Item option since I did not find any items

The BrainvoreNice RPG with a very beautiful graphic style that really reminds me of old Gameboy games. Great job!

LUCILLA the Bedsheet GhostI loved the campaign in this game! All the polish in the art for the overworld, battles, and combat animations really shines through. What a fun little RPG.
