A dream-like experience indeed, with apparently nonsensical descriptions that still make sense, and a beautiful old school dungeon crawler atmosphere that twists the genre into something unique. It felt like a short but fully-fledged adventure game, with a mysterious ending to say the least. Now we should all share our shards of thruth, shouldn't we?

The hand drawn maze was super, especially love the submarine area. Felt like a classic adventure game, good stuff!

I haven't beaten this one yet, but I wanted to leave a comment saying I liked it so far. It has a lot of stuff for just a weekend jam!

Thank you! Well, if I had to do the art myself, I wouldn’t have been able to do even one frame in the whole weekend hahaha

Thank you! In the context, I’m not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, since everyone was way more creative than we were :’D

ps: I replied to this this morning, but I didn’t thread it properly because I’m a fool :P

Thank you!

This is one of those projects that, the more we worked on it, the more we liked it and wanted to put more work. After submitting this, we have the feeling we might do some more HyperCard stacks in the future :3

I have a Shard of Truth! Now to work out what to do with it...

Everything about this is great! So much music too! My game had four notes.

Who-hooo! Congrats, and thanks for the kind words!

Well, here’s a hint: you won’t do much on your own… Better ally with other players ;)
