Awesome premise! Very smooth controls and charming style, very well done.

Veryy cool concept. I didn't quite figure out what all the clues are, and we couldn't find one of the monsters, but I thought the overall idea was awesome and well executed.

Very original idea and nice artwork. Love the ui and the style in which you input the entries.

I think it would help to add some small rewards for the player along the way to engage the player a little more. Otherwise, I didn't seem to get much feedback after describing one monster, so it felt like I have to explore the whole dungeon before being provided with some reward.

Still very impressive entry.

Nice work! I think the concept here is good, just needs some more setup for the player to get invested. I ran into the freeze mentioned on the page when I first pressed space to dodge. Unfortunately, it froze again when trying to leave the dungeon, before any UI popped up. That was definitely more disappointing, as I wanted to see how I'd be graded. I hope you manage to figure out the issues. There was still an impressive amount of content and mechanics here!

Good job to the team on your first GWJ submission!

That was such a cool idea! I would love to see something like that explored more. Just getting to know the dungeon ecosystem cataloguing the monsters behaviours.

I imagined some adventurers using my notes as a guide and see "slimes are pettable", "Go pet the diamond dogs, once" and "Go and argue with the goobers please" and follow these suggestions only to fail their quest because of me :D

Also the grotesque sound reminded me of my game boy days xD

Hey this is pretty neat! I'm not going to lie, the Grotesque monster gave me quite the jumpscare!

The monster art is very cute. I like the slimes!

Submitted

I liked it! The writing is charming and as a concept for a fully fledged product i actually think there is something to the idea of being a researcher for a hunters guild. 

Good stuff!

Thank you!!

We actually had some writing that didn't make it into the game, too. So much had to get cut down to even have something to upload.

I'm glad that you were able to see the vision!! Thank you for playing!
