Really fun game and concept! I love the core of this game, and the large "dictionary" and rules.

My biggest gripe was having everything kinda "dumped" on me at once, which I think lead me to misunderstanding some of the game (for example, I didn't realize that the Text was the "spell" that the rules referred to; instead I thought that it was simply the name of the enemy. This I think could be solved by having the game tutorial you through the first spell casting).

If this game were to get a post-jam update, I would love to see a version where the player has a "compendium" that they fill out whenever they cast a spell, so that they can see what the combinations do, and maybe it could hint at what things lead to what other combinations.

Good luck in the jam!

such a fun game! I loved looking through the papers trying to find the right translations! I was a bit confused on what I was supposed to do in the case I wasn't allowed to cast the spell (more just me being dumb haha), but amazing job given the time constraints!

Developer

There's so much paper, which is the only thing I don't like about this game. Pretty unique concept!

Developer

Thank you for playing! ^^ We originally intended to put some of the papers together into a booklet so the table wouldn't be as messy, but time constraints, so very valid point!

I really really, liked this game! Although I was having trouble decrypting some of them. I couldn't figure some of them out and gave up. A little more instruction would have been nice. Other than that I really enjoyed it though!

Developer

Thank you! ^^ We had a few other hint papers we wanted to add but ran out of time, I know a few are pretty tricky, sorry about that!

The more papers I kept pulling out of that damn desk drawer, the more I couldn’t stop laughing. Overall really enjoyable, fun to try and puzzle out what combinations to make.

Glad you liked it, thank you! We had fun making all those papers ^^
