hello! It’s the last three days of the jam, and I was really interested in playing this and giving you a rating, but I am unable at the moment. Your game looks very interesting and the main character reminds me of character designs I’m quite fond of so I was really hoping to boost your chances of winning the community vote. But since I can’t, I thought I’d show support another way; artwork

excuse if it looks nothing like your character, I am sorry. I tried my best but I’m quite busy. I hope you appreciate this secondary form of support. Best of luck in the jam!

Wow, this was a pretty solid experience. The artstyle was really on point the whole time, and the story was interesting and well told.
I especially liked how you converted the battles into puzzles, and for the most part of them you guide the player into making a choice that's morally wrong out of necessity - like how the protagonist did. I'm just not sure about punishing the player for not ratting out their friend, since the excuse of "I can see in your eyes you're lying" felt a little too convenient. So having to restart the fight just for that felt very unfair.

But overall I really loved the game, this has to be one of the most solid entries of the jam. Congratulations!
If you're interested, here's the VOD of the stream: 

Amazing art, moving story and some interesting mechanics and battles, extremely good submission.

My only gripe is the sound effects used for text boxes! super loud and totally unfitting for the vibe of the game, also replacing the bubble icons to fit the art would have been nice, other than that though the game is very good :D

This brought me to the verge of tears. There is only one way I can describe this game, and that is beautiful - more than any of the other games I have played in this Jam. This spoke to me and it spoke to the horrid times we live in. I can't heap enough praise on what you've made here.

The music, the hand drawn environments, the characers and battlers, how the gameplay meshes with the writing. It was all incredible, but the highest mark of quality I suppose was not really thinking about any of that, even when I came in to do so. I was just swept up by the game itself. Amazing!

I absolutely loved my time with this one. It's a beautiful, deep experience which may speak to anybody suffering from (or surrounded by) oppression and persecution - a sad tale as old as time, and worth retelling constantly.  And the story itself is well told, mysterious and slow to reveal itself in a satisfying way. The theme is necessarily unclear, so that the reader can interpret the nature of what's happening in their own way, but never unclear.

I love how the game uses the battle system to tell sections of story, although I did find it a bit inflexible at times, as the outcomes are predetermined. This worked well in the second battle scene because I had the opportunity to try other options until I had to give in to the inevitable, but not so well for a later scene in which I felt I had to know the exact options expected of me. 

Outside of battle the gameplay is varied in each area, keeping things fresh and engaging. 

Of course the art is lovely, although I sometimes felt like some animation may have helped make it seem more alive. For example, the first area felt very dynamic with the moving stars and clouds, but the river just ahead felt less so as the water didn't flow at all. Still, it's only details. 

The only thing I would say though, is please consider changing the sounds for cancel and select, they are super loud and out of place. I muted the game after a while. 

Again, I loved this. Thank you for the story. 

this looks visually amazing, really! But you could've used a custom font instead of using the default rpg maker font. That's all. Maybe a custom message box too.
