This is a very creative twist on a visual novel and I love how it's used in the last part. Really well done!
Thank you! The last part was my favorite to make :)
I really loved this. I've made quite a few interactive fiction games, and it's always hard to find some way to make them stand out. This one absolutely does. The scaling mechanic is really fun and memorable, and the writing is superb.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the scaling mechanic.
I agree with the below comment this is so unique and stands out above most of the submissions here for me. It's a simple take on the theme but executed so well. I hope you get the positive feedback you deserve Congrats!
Thank you very much! :)
This is my favourite game from the jam so far. So unique, and great writing! I like the hints you put into the descriptions, which let you advance.
I would play a full game like this, with more of a story with characters and a plot.
Thank you for playing and for your kind words :)
