Hey, loved the game! Had a good laugh when Belinda did her cameo xD. Music, art, storytelling and adventure wise, including the mechanics, it was really fun!! And the sponge dinosaur was quite a creative thing, despite nearly killing someone. Sadly I ran into bugs two times, and died two other times. One bug was going back to tell uncle after the first piece of soul restored to Calanthe, the other one I went to give Dulcy her second piece of soul and idk, it just got into the config screen and couldn't get out of it.
I'll try again later to finish it, I really want to see how it ends!
Downloaded it and got to get the bad ending, since I can't go out to inform the Uncle. It gives me an "If Endif" error. Anyways, great game, hope one day I can get to the good ending lol
I'm so sorry! when I played the game several times I didn't get those errors, it will be because being the one who programmed it I know how to get the complete good ending and I didn't test the other alternatives enough...
I did it in a way that some alternatives doesn't seem right, don't make promises to Belinda but then look at the pool, there's a variable on whether you promise not to look and you look, I think that's where it plays into the variable of go to see your uncle, I'll try correct it.
Thank you for playing it and the review :)
Then no promises to Belinda. I really wanna get the good ending lol. Don't worry, by the time I ended up programming mine I didn't even want to play haha, gladly I had a team to test drive it for me.
Aaaand it worked! What a lovely ending, so glad I got to see it! Loved those final discussions between the characters, very on point!
I'm glad you liked it, I always try to put some psychology and philosophy in the conversations so that they don't become so typical and are deeper than the typical visual novel ones, I would like this to be a prologue for a larger version, let's say 2 years older, that they be together with 16 years in high school and solve other cases... but first I have to finish the final characters, I made those as a reference so I could draw them later XD
Do it, tottaly playing it when it comes out!
I wanted to play your game but I am not on Windows! 😣
sorry to hear that v.v
Do you think that I can put a browser version of the same game here? same version of the game, just for browser
I built my game using Ren’Py, which is able to build a web version of the game. I saw that your game was built using Tyrano Builder… I am not familiar with that engine… but if they have that function you should be able to do that.
Yeah, I can do a browser version too, but I don't know if I can upload it now, the date for uploading the game expires, even if it's the same version of the game. Maybe I should ask to the owners of the jam.
yay! they said that I can upload new versions too! you can play it on browser now :D
P.S.: I don't know why, while the game loads, there's a sonic dancing down right of the screen... really I don't know why, that gif is not even in my game assets...
I just finished playing the whole game! The story is really meaningful and I am glad it is not too scary! 😊 I had to turn off the music because it was a bit intense for me (I am just easily spooked, but for a game centred around ghosts I think it really sets the mood). I didn't find the mini games too difficult to understand, and I am glad we're always given pointers. I didn't look at what was inside the pool... were we supposed to? I just followed everyone's advice and did what the characters suggested. I tried once to go to the pool, but I was told to not go there... and I am now very curious what is in there... but I am not sure if I want to know... 😰
Haha.
Depending on the choices you make in the dialogues, then you have different ones, there are extra dialogues if you don't promise anything to Belinda and then you look in the pool, for example.
It also has 3 types of endings, the ending of not reaching the end (if you don't go to see the guy outside until the end, when you go it's game over for breaking your promise to go out and inform him), another ending if you don't talk to him uncle before going to the third floor (which is the bad one), and the good ending of going to the third floor after talking to your uncle and him explaining how to open the door, that one has special music composed by neffex.
Too sad you took the audio off, the music of the minigame gives goosebumps with the voices singing in a gloomy way "they belong me", or the theme of the end of the game "closer to heaven", that's nice and a little sad .
I really like the mechanic with the crystals. Using the green and purple ones to find things was fun and worked really well. I didn't think combat was very well designed, though--it felt like you just randomly picked blue or red. I ended up quitting this one after the third time I lost in combat and had to start all the way over from the beginning.
Oh, you didn't understand the tutorial, when the soul moves up-down, use blue, when the soul moves right-left, use red, that's what explained Alex the first time.
Oh sorry, I didn't pick up on that!
I'll give it another spin if I have time.
