How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
The very concept of our game revolves around using bugs as clever ways to bypass the various obstacles that appear along the way—such as a spell that literally turns you into a piece of the floor, breaking the fourth wall, in-game item duping, and exploiting “tricks” that game designers use to mask a lack of budget.
However, due to technical issues that arose right before the project’s release, only about a quarter of what we had already managed to prepare over those three days can actually be seen.

ahh too bad, seems like a good setup for some funny stuff. I like the janky graphics, maybe next time! (oh yeah I only clicked on it because I saw a cat!)

Nice graphics, interesting idea, decent music, but there are a few problems. It seems that some sprites are not sorted correctly and overlap each other where they shouldn't, and after trying to leave the bar, the dialogue freezes.

The art is amazing and the characters are pretty intriguing. I would love to see more of this setting and humour. On a constructive note though, I hope you guys take a look at the characters clipping into each other. This is amazing as a 3 day endeavour though.

What a gorgeous game! 


Could you give me some pointers for the start? I tried walking around and clicking on a lot, but somehow I couldn't find the start.

No problem! It’s a real shame we didn’t manage to bring the project to a fully presentable state, but rest assured: in the updated version we plan to release the full introductory sequence and fix all the critical bugs that appeared right before the project’s publication.

To answer your question: you need to approach the bartender and start your first dialogue. Unfortunately, at the moment you can only experience a couple of dialogue branches out of the twenty we originally prepared for this project.

Stay tuned - very soon we’ll be able to release a proper demo version!

The pixel art is great, the music is great, the writing is great! Expressive character sprites in response to dialogue  is done well.  The music personally gives me an heir of mystery, if thats the intended effect then good job!  this is a nice vertical slice, and instantly started bonding with the characters in the short time frame.  Love the wizard with the cig too, he seems to have had a rough time.  Unfortunately, I got hard locked  when i tried to leave the bar for the second time at the dialogue:   Archer: "Dont yell, you idiot", and i could not progress the dialogue.  But what i saw, its very clear everyone involved seems passionate about what they are making in a short time frame.  Would love to see more of this, great job!
