Ahoy!

What a cool submission! I am surprised it doesn't have more comments! 

I love the blue-purple colour scheme that the team chose. The backgrounds, the tarot cards, the UI assets all matched the theming very well. I thought the backgrounds and character designs were well made and helped tell the story.

The UI is nicely designed in aesthetic. Next time it may be helpful to have a back button in the menu, especially because it was easy to accidentally skip the text. I can sometimes feel motion sickness from reading text that is moving, so I would press enter intending for the text to appear fully in the textbox at once. Unfortunately, on some occasions instead of the text fully appearing, it would skip entirely. This was a pity as it is clear the writers worked very hard to create a full and complete story here with a strong theme.

The finding things mini game was cool. I enjoyed exploring the rooms and found it simple enough to do. I do feel the game may benefit from further mini games or things to do to interact with the linear story. Perhaps something with the tarot cards?

From the game page, it seems like such a big team was involved in this. I would loved to to known more about the team, where to find more information about them, and how they contributed to the game. 

I do hope more folks stumble upon this game and send comments on this, because its clear there's been a lot of effort and I feel its a strong submission for the game jam :)

All the best,

Ocelot

Nice story about friendship. I did notice that the audio started completely muted for me which was odd.

Hello

we appreciate the feedback. We've noticed a bug where the audio was muted at the start and we're working on updating the project with a fix to that. 

Have an amazing day!
