The game looks unfortunately bugged even after trying multiple time to fix it, but I'm very proud of what I did and I can't wait to try and finish the game!

Ahhh I loved the vybe! Specially the part of tarot-teaching! I didn't (don't LOL) know almost anything before the jam and I feel like your game was a lot better than the research I did.
Anyway, I loved the vybe and the characters! I hope to see more of it! :D
Thank you for your nice comment! I'm happy you learned a bit of Tarot, it was very interesting to research!
The way the characters interacted with one another was absolutely precious. Moirai, the best friend character, who has this mentor role / "older sister" type personality, being contrasted with the younger, shy customer, Pandora, it really made for an interesting dynamic.
It was like the main character was helping Pandora, but she was also somewhat talking about herself there when she gave a reading about being nervous and unlocking your potential.
I could really see how the main character is possibly going to grow in the future by helping others out, which is where I think a lot of the beauty of Tarot comes from. This game could be a great tool for teaching people about Tarot who aren't familiar with it yet!
Also this goes without saying, but I have to mention how the art is just absolutely gorgeous. The sprites are kept simple and yet communicate the personalities very clearly, with good body language and expressive shilouettes!
Last but not certainly not least, good job on including some nice music tracks with the game! It was refreshing to listen to and fit the mood perfectly. The tracks sometimes overlapped with itself a bit for me, when I switched the window focus especially to take notes, but that might be because of the engine or my browser, maybe.
Please don't worry too much about the bugs since this is a solid proof of concept game jam release, after all!
Do you know if there's going to be dating in the final version? 👀
Thank you so much for your nice comment!
And who knows~ ;D
Ooooh mysterious 👀
You are very welcome! :D
Maybe the cards will answer you 👀
Despite your comment that the game bugged it worked perfectly fine for me! It's been a nice, relaxing experience that is a great way to introduce someone to Tarot as a whole. It feels almost like an introductory lesson in what Tarot is and how to do the basic spreads. Well done!
I really like the minimalist art style with character colours and simple but good looking linework. Well done! Considering the short turnover that looks promising!
Thank you so much for you nice comment!
For some reasons it seems to work differently for everyone but I'm glad your experience wasn't impacted! <3
Wow this turned out really well, will have to check out Visual Novel Maker, looks like a great piece of software. Your dialogue really made the world come alive.
Visual Novel Maker sure looks very promising! It is very well made for people that has 0 knowledge of coding and is very visual, a plus in my opinion!
I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
