Thank you to everyone who played my game and those who commented. This was my first gamejam, and I will enjoy doing them every year!

Ive been gnomed! Overall great take on the theme <3

Aside from the charming dialogue, I'm so impressed with this on a techincal level.  I loved seeing that conversation where it used my pick for 'great', and the dialogue tree responded appropriately! Not to mention how cool it is that the words are randomly generated. Would love to see a full game just like this!

Really enjoyed the take on the theme! liked the linguistic angle too!

I don't like games that involves so much text reading but I like the interpretation on the theme, voice acting, ending and retro art style. What I found a bit frustrating was not beeing able to play the game fullscreen on browser, delay on changing scenes and not be able to talk to npc's without reloading the scenes. But overall I like the mystery element of unknown words and I talked to all the npcs and I wanted to finish the game and had fun! Good job :)

Good game, I was able to find Smengaldwarf and I hope that the game contains many more secrets.

Interesting take on the theme! I enjoy language based games so this is a good one for me. A little annoying you can't retalk to people you already talked to...

Yeah... I don't know why the HTML version didn't have the reset unless you went into one of the houses, unlike the exe. Next year ! thank you for playing!
