Interesting game! The aesthetic was brilliant, it brought back memories of early PC games like Myst, and you pulled off that look very well, so congrats on getting it to look so nice! The maze exploration was a fun idea as well, particularly without any marker on the minimap to show where you were - at first it was a little daunting, but it was kind of fun after a while trying to figure out where I was based on the layout of the rooms I was going through, so I like how some gameplay evolved from that feature. And a new event happening for each new room was nice; it kept things interesting and finding an unexplored room was always fun. Nice work on this!

ChancemancerMaze part is good.
For event part, there is no way player can affect the outcome. So I just spam left click to end it quickly (to go back to play maze as quick as possible ) and hope not to lose all HP.

Dice Shootnice simple game, satisfying to see the dice results, I wish the torch was smaller on the screen though

Paper Cut: Blades of GrassReally cool idea! Always love that lo-fi 3D look. The whole concept of making everything random was fun to explore. My only issue is that it felt like I could just rapidly click through the fights without caring much. I think I'd be less likely to do that if there were more choices present in the combat. But still, this one's cool!

RiskitLove the atmosphere both visuals and sound effects, like how to the target arrow also doubles as a compass, combined with the map, you can actually tell where you are on a maze with no landmarks whatsoever.
The only problem is the encounters, it boils down to randomly gaining or losing hp from time to time, with apparently no player input affecting the outcome in any way. But bad encounters aren't very punishing so it doesn't ruin the experience. The possibility of getting a clue out of an encounter also makes it somewhat worth it.
Very solid and well polished game. Great work.

DIcE5The idea is good, I would have just wished for a little more movement (possibly letting the dice fly around). Maybe also a picture of the opponent, so you can see what's in front of you. I would also work with more visual stuff, prefer to use icons for HP eg. rather than just text, I got overwhelmed pretty quickly. But these are just small comments, I like the concept and the idea is very well implemented!

He loves you too!Very interesting game concept! I like how you incorporated the dice. It's hard to navigate around in there!

Infinity DiceI liked the ambiance of the game! However, I feel like there is something missing... Apart from choosing the direction I want to go, I feel like I have no control! Maybe the concept is too much based on chance.
Overall, good job! :)

Untitled Tabletop GameI couldn't play the web version? Am I the only one :c?
It loads forever (no error in consols).

Elemental DicesFor whatever reason, it worked today!
The idea is nice, but having an event at every room, I just spammed click at the end!
But the events being fast that way it wasn't really a problem ^^. The camera is a bit too fast, it kinda gave me motion sickness haha, I'm a bit sensible about that :p.
Anyway, the game ran bug-free, well done!
Nice game, interesting pixel graphics.
Beautiful mechanics of events.
I might have appreciated some background music.
For the rest, good work.
