Use of the limitation
We interpreted unpredictable rules as an opportunity to explore story telling in a non-conventional environment. The player is taken into a world like no-other, where nothing makes sense, with the choices they make seemingly even more so.

Oh so many.

Love the art style and the weird style you choose. But I gotta sya, that postprocessing effect is too much for my eyes...
but I enjoy this game nevertheless

The Goblins Game (GG)This game is like what if East Saint Louis was slightly more hospitable to human life. I dig.
Love the tone and presentation but what ties everything together is the writing and the story. Very fun energy that permeates through it all. Some minor technical errors don't detract from what this game does right which is a lot. Will say though, with a game who's main mechanic is about clicking on dialogue options, I do wish that the clicking on the dialogue options was somewhat more reliable.

Proto-ZoasaurusLove this style! Weird, wacky, and unsettling characters; and lots to see.
Unfortunately, my game crashed half way through (while trying to room transition in southeast), and the pacing of the game was slow enough that I didn't want to redo my progress. Regardless, I can see there's a lot of potential here!

COBB CAN MOVEReally excellent presentation, it feels very high quality in both the UI and world. I did find I was wanting for a bit more gameplay, walking around and talking to the various residents is neat and suitably wacky but I would have loved a bit of fetch questing or puzzle solving to round out the experience. The voice acting was definitely a surprise, nice work on this entry.

Mirror MuseumI like the art-style and general take of the game, reminding me of some old Sierra point-and-click games.
Since you're asking for feedback to take this forward:
- Moving the character around in the world seems a bit pointless since it's only to switch scenes and talk to characters. I'd prefer to be able to just click, especially because the movement is slow and I get stuck in geometry.
- None of the dialogue options seemed to have any effect. I know this is meant as a demo but it might give players a better idea of your vision to have fewer options that actually mean something in terms of effects in the world and taking out characters and choices that aren't implemented.

Antsy!Hey! Thanks so much for playing, your feedback is really intriguing. Whilst we expected comments regarding your second point at this stage, your first has certainly given us a new perspective. I think the decision to use the current control scheme was not from much thought, but rather from intuition - if we want to grow this into a better visual novel experience, this is something to definitely look into. Thanks again for your kind words and detailed feedback! 🤠
