It's very hard to guess the word I need

Really enjoyed the writing and atmosphere! I wish the music on the home screen played throughout, it would really add to the atmosphere.

I love choose your own adventure books, so this was a nice break from the other games. I’m just curious if you used pure HTML/CSS on this or if you used a program like Twine.

I loved the art of the lighthouse and I wish there was more of it. The only other bit I remember seeing was my buddy rat being safe at the end!

Overall, I liked this quite a bit, being a sucker for this genre of story. Keep up the great work!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you enjoyed it. The music playing only on the home screen was a decision and not a bug but based on feedback, it seems that most people would prefer having it played throughout so I will likely change that in the future.

I used pure HTML/CSS to code the game, with no JavaScript or frameworks either.

I'm glad you liked the art! It's all thanks to my friend who really was engaged with the project even though I contacted him after I finished coding everything. His suggestions were invaluable in improving certain aspects of the game.

Thank you so much for the kind words, you're motivating me to expand this game, haha!

I like the whole text adventure twist, although I didn't see much in terms of blood being dangerous, maybe I made the wrong choices...

Anyway, I liked my time with the game, and the "Speak your last words" segment got a chuckle.

Very nice writing. Well done! The music only plays on the start screen but not during the game. Not sure if that is intended or not

Thank you! The music was intended to play only on the home screen but I might change that since people seem to prefer it being played throughout.
