Oh wow, I absolutely adore the character designs! Gameplay is also nice enough, I just couldn’t quite figure out how much classes actually mattered in the quest-giving stage. Feels like this mechanic could be explored further, but I love the proof of concept.

A Night At The Opera

Thank you! Yeah, we didn't have much time spent on playtesting and it turns out the balancing was off and there were some bugs in the quest simulation, but we've uploaded a polished version of the game, and we're working on making this into a full fleshed out game, so if you want to follow our progress you can follow our discord :

Absolutely gorgeous game, art style is fantastic. I like the idea of the core concept, but I mostly ended up just clicking on different cards without much thought. Would be very fun as a fleshed out game.

Thanks! We're trying to build on the core concept and adding more depth to the game as well. We're aiming for a full fleshed out game to release ^^
We share our progress on our Discord btw :)

Super cute game I absolutely love the aesthetic! I wish it was a bit clearer if there was any benefit to giving certain types of characters certain tasks, like a warrior bodyguard etc.

Thank you :D
Some polishes we made do help with this, but we are working on a bit of a progression system for the game to ease the player better into the game mechanics :)

This game is pretty catchy! Especially artstyle. I really enjoyed this game!

I adore this game!

Gameplay is neat, although sometimes it feels like I cannot give any good quests to anyone... That's really the only complaint I have.

The concept is creative, art is incredible! In general, I had a lot of fun playing this game.

Glad you liked it! We've taken some feedback and polished the game a lot! As for the quests, the day now starts with at least one difficulty 1 and one difficulty 2 quest to balance it a bit better. On top of that, you can no longer have two of the same quests to choose from.

We're working hard to turn this into something even bigger. If you want to follow our progress, we share sneakpeaks on our Discord ^^

I gave you all 5 stars on presentation because the artworks are just so good, I love them!

The concept is also very fun and relaxing. Well done!

Conquest Of Shadows

XellaDeveloper280 days ago

Thank you! We're definitely ~~planning to~~ working on that! We've uploaded a much polished version of the game already and are working on adding a lot more depth and content to the game. If you want to follow our progress, you can find sneakpeaks on our Discord ^^

This could be a basis for a very cute personality driven game! >w<

XellaDeveloper280 days ago

That sounds cute! We definitely want to work more on the character backstories and to bring that forward better in the game
