Very well written and fun game! I included it in my Yogscast Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

really cool, but not my bag
Check out my review of your game at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
Great! Loved the early-90s game art and especially enjoyed the dialogue and choices you could make. And the nostalgia for the old days of the Yogscast worked well with the art style. Also impressed with how much you got done in the time. Loved it!
I really enjoyed this! Loved the references, art and music. An interesting interpretation of the theme!
"A mysterious man from beyond the stars and a gluttonous dwarf from Khaz Modan. Where they came from, nobody knows" Has to be one of the best lines I've ever read XD
Amazing entry! The art was incredible, and combined with the audio it really made it feel like an old DOS adventure game. I kinda love the idea that Israphel was the good guy all along :D
I'm impressed with how much you managed to add, this is a brilliant entry! I loved the choices you could make, and how they affected each other too - it felt great when the snowballs I collected could be used against Lewis, or the milk to "deal with" the jaffa cakes. I liked the stat system too, it made for some tense moments and risk-making, and some interesting outcomes too. The artwork was brilliant, all the characters felt unique and, combined with the writing, they really fit their personalities well, so great job on making them feel real like that! And the three (I think!) endings were all great, it gave me some good incentive to play through the game again and see what I missed out on the first time. Overall it was a very fun experience, I loved it!
I completely agree with pathtracer on the delay for dialog. I like games like this and I can tell a lot of work went into this. The blue background is a bit heavy on my eyes but the rest of the art is amazing. The idea isn't too original in terms of gameplay but is still fun with all the references to the yogscast. Well done. If you get the chance can you try my game out.
Really cool art and authentic retro aesthetic!
Several times I accidentally chose the first option in the list without having time to read them because I hit enter to fill out the text. It'd be cool to have a short delay before you can choose options to prevent that kind of accident.
