Ahh!! I'm glad you liked it haha, I'm high key so embarrassed by this one. I had played some two player games with my friend that were offline but you have to trade information to get through them and I loved the idea behind that kind of puzzle, like how do you even make something where you NEED concrete information from the other player but it's still definitely OFFline?? It was a real fun think/challenge for me. The third task barely works, tbh, so heads up. I doubt I'll come back to this one and clean it up, it really needs reworking from the ground up and the nested conditional branches in this one make my head actually spin 😂
So glad someone noticed the little world building elements! I really wanted to add this element of WANTING to lie to the other person and I wanted to make the witch character (wow I don't remember her name whoops fake fan lol) a little more sympathetic since she's objectively the "bad guy" here lol. I wanted to get across this sense of like "she regrets this but is too scared to stop" type vibe.
For me this was just a project of thinking of the engine differently than I ever had before. Not using it just for writing stories and texts and conversations, but instead trying game game elements and just a little bit of story wedged into the cracks because I lack chill haha. Even tho it wasn't a jam game it was SUPREMELY educational for me haha and I GUESS has a special enough place in my heart I won't be deleting it from my account todayyy. But it's on thin freakin ice lol.
