Lots of fun and interesting choices. Makes me want to keep playing again to explore different avenues

All three game creators are huge fan of Terry Pratchett, and I myself just re-read "Hogfather" about 2 weeks ago.
I promise it was all in three days! 2 of us met up the day before and made a big master list of "themes we'd love to do if they happen to match", but we ended up doing none of them! It was a pretty manic 3 days, that's for sure. I'm unemployed and made this a 3-day full-time job, but 1 other writer was working part-time, and another was working full-time on Monday and taking care of his son over the weekend!
the text adventure blend of Douglas adams’ starship titanic, and Sierra online’s Space Quest 2.
Very enjoyable; with laugh-out-loud moments from absurd descriptions in the lavatory scene, to characters that could have come straight from the aforementioned writing houses :)
also kudos for an early game (loser) ending which made me want to fire up starship titanic again!
I liked the drawings and the sense of humour. The characters are well written too!

Think Of Some GiftWonderful, had some great Red Dwarf vibes, I enjoyed the Rimmer-like incompetence and cowardice of the main character! Also impressive amount of writing and art for such a short amount of time!
Sometimes there were walls of texts, and I feel like these could have be delivered in a more paced way. I think the first part with the minister is a good example, where single choices were used to pace the writing. In the later sections, more of this would have helped pace things out more.
Some formatting issues etc that are all understandable given the 3 day time period. You guys did really well! This was really funny and charming.

In Reverence for a CaptainI was smiling my whole way through this game. There are some bugs here and there, some formatting that you can fix where colours kind of break, but the narration is great and the humor just... resonates with me so much <3
I wish to be half as funny as you one day, lol

Gambit in Capital CityIt kind of reminds me of some of the old point-n-click games where you have to type in controls and get a sassy response if you do something goofy. Liked the setting, too. This was a lot of fun!
