We started half way through jam! I'm happy with what we were able to do though.

The story was very nice and fun and I loved how you made it a text game. The music hurt my ears a little, but I loved how the sound effects were timed with the words as it came on screen. That was very clever. All in all, a great game!
I did not think i would enjoy it as much as i did: the story is very well told, the “Sir Hiddler” joke was a nice touch, and the sound effects help a lot to feel like i am there, too.
It seems, though, that sometimes the text mixes the first and second person, calling me “you” and “I” in the same paragraph, just as this one:
That sort of thing happen in jam games :)
Well done!
Glad to hear it! Thank you for that feedback and yeah, the responses were supposed to be third person and the rest first person, but if not formatted correctly, the dialogue will merge the response with the next line of story...an unfortunate side effect of rushing to completion. Thank you for playing!
Wow. I typically don't like games with heavy 3rd person narration, but this was amazing to play. The writing really developed the characters and world effectively and the plot kept me on edge. The route you took with a traveler going to the past was done in a very entertaining way. I'm serious when I say I loved this game. Awesome work!
Thank you so much for that feedback and for playing!
I enjoyed the story! I would have liked a little bit of art to go along with it, even if it were just still images like your cover picture. But you were able to do so much without any art that I have to say it is very well done. The sound effects and music were GREAT. They made it feel immersive and interactive. That was my favorite aspect of this game.
I was a little confused what was happening to the people and would have liked a little explanation on that. When the princess started to go crazy, I was confused. And why did traveling make her fine again? Maybe I'm dense, but I also didn't connect why the songs were the solution to getting home. You could add a little more exposition about that for people like me that don't connect the dots automatically. :)
Overall, really well done.
Thank you for the constructive feedback! I realized a couple of days before the submission deadline that there would not be enough to time to do the whole story with location art, and decided to kill the few that were there to make it a more consistent experience, but mentioning audio helped fill the gap is good to hear. Certainly after the jam I plan to have location art in, and I know Christiano wishes he had more time to finesse the story a bit more. Thank you so much for playing it!
