Wow

I really liked the animations and the art style. I enjoyed the way you spun the story and engaged the player. 

The game does become a bit repetitive after a while, and I think that maybe a stylized label that explained the room card would've been nice to have.

However, most importantly: I got to pet the dog. V●ᴥ●V

Thanks for sharing this game. :)

Developer

Thank you very much!

We did have plans for couple more non-combat rooms to add more variety, like a Monty Hall Problem room, but didn't end up having enough time to implement them.

Hey, I've played this for a bit but not sure I'm making progress. I keep trying rooms and defeating enemies but it seems repetitive. Is there an end goal I'm missing?

Developer(+1)

Ah I see, yes there is a set amount of rooms and then a last boss. Should have added some indicator for that now that you mention it.

very unique art style!
I slowly became more proficient at the systems and learning the cards.


Love the storytelling and the cutscene work! Well done!

Developer

Thank you! This was first time I did non-pixel art for a jam. I tried to keep the art style very simple because I didn't know how fast I can draw.

It was quite fun. I couldn't quite figure out what the cards were doing until I realized the helpful tooltips that explained the effects. The music did feel a bit redundant, mostly since it requires some time to get the hang of.

Great submission.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering towards the end if the game needed a proper tutorial, but I ended up thinking the tooltips were enough and the rest was hinted by the dog. When it comes to music, it ended up being the part I had to rush the most, and ended up making mostly just simple 1 pattern loops, thinking it was okay as the bgm would change quite often.

The art and gameplay loop was great! at first I was a little lost on the weapon system, but seeing the stat page helped me understand what was one time use items vs weapons. Also I'm a big fan of this old school first person look :D

Developer

Thank you!

We kinda ended up hoping that signalling that the stats page was clickable with its design was enough instead of needing a tutorial, good to hear things worked out at least on your part.

Nice to hear you like the old school style as well!
