First of all, the game looks nice, I like the typewrite effect and the menu's,

I also like the sounds, well, most of them, I don't see why you needed to put the high-pitched sound in the beginning, it really destroyed my ears...

Maybe it's just because I find these kind of games not so fun in general but I felt like the game was a bit grindy, just trying out every recall option untill you find some unique dialogue, that's why I also didn't play that much, maybe the game got better after a while but well, take this critique at least for the first part of the game, give some more noticable clues like colored text when a word is important or something like that!

Apologies for destroying your ears. I wasn't as hurt by the intro and failed to consider that others could be - I'll definitely edit it as I update the game in the future. That was also one of the last touches I made as I stayed up until 6 AM grinding for this jam. I'm glad you enjoyed the other sounds though, I tried so hard to create typing/carriage return sounds without using external assets.

Yeah, it seems a major flaw in this original build is that the writing/mechanics don't really provide enough feedback as to if you are making progress or not, so many people end up going for the "brute force" approach. My "excuse" for this is that the first level is honestly super short, and I never finished my ambitious second level, so I didn't want it to be "too easy". But in the future, I will definitely add relevant feedback both in the writing and through game mechanics. Colored text may be difficult to implement given my current systems, but it will be a good challenge when I'm not under a time crunch :)

Hey LineartLemur, thank you again for your input 3 months ago! I took your advice, and incorporated features such as highlighted text and better feedback to make the game much less repetitive and grindy. As for the sound at the beginning, I did lower the pitch quite a bit and lower the volume, however I was unable to part with it entirely. Anyway, the game has been greatly updated if you would like to check it out!
