Limited time to sell limited time. Clever idea, I really like it! The only thing that felt off was the soul puzzle, it feels like a lot of trial and error in some way and it doesn't match the core of the game imo. As I see it, someone would play this game mainly for interesting dialogues, decision making and "time" management, but forcing a very specific type of puzzle like this into the gameplay loop will just annoy many people and kinda ruin the rest. That being said, I think it's definitely a good entry and has potential if you try to expand on it!

love love loved the use of the 'time is limited' theme, the idea of time as currency and selling it away was really smart!! i actually really loved the soul rotation it was my favorite part of the game and sooo satisfying to get right :D i like the little tidbits of lore about each of the NPCs that come into the shop as well, the worldbuilding is fascinating and i would've loved to have seen more of that if possible! my only critique would be that i don't think the lava theme felt too well integrated to me -- i feel like if the 'igneous' concept was more expanded upon then it would've felt more cohesive!

Wow this was super unique! I'll admit that after a long day at work my brain was not doing the math on the soul rotation and I sort of spammed the arrows until they matched (which is definitely NOT how it's meant to be played and I'm very sorry for that!!) The art is super lovely and I thought all the characters were cool, but the concept! Wow! Really incredible :) such a great use of the time is limited theme

I really love the music and art of this game, they just feel really unique and on point.. I am wondering what VSTs/art software you used to make them? While the game loop could've been done in a way more enjoyable, the concept of the game is just something totally new I've never seen so great job!

i like the concept it is very original, the soul rotaion is a pain and i feel that it could be made easier

Submitted

A so different game! I like it and how you tried to do something completely different!

Great job really cool game. I found the soul rotation really hard but I think thats just my issue. I spent most of my time on one client.

Submitted

Art is very sick and so is the music! I had some trouble with the soul matching but I think If I played more it would come easier. Overall I really like this game and thought yo guys did a really unique game with the given theme and pre-req!

Submitted

cool little game! the soul roation thing feels kinda rushed... I don't know why it's even there. the art is really good though, good game overall

Thanks! The soul rotation mechanic was sort of to create more risk and decision making because certain souls are harder to match. So if you're pretty good, you can sort deals based of which is easier.
