Thank you for such an interesting story ! It was really engaging and a bit eerie to play))
I especially loved the color palette, it perfectly highlights the unsettling, dreamlike atmosphere.
Thank you!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it, I hope it was spooky too >:3
I really need to revaluate my decision making when my first choice was to hide behind the curtain lol, nice demo though in all seriousness
thank youu!! I'm glad you enjoyed it nevertheless, I probably would have chosen to drink water first xd
Hi, Sayorii! I played and voted for your game on stream and I'm posting here for your own feedback and promotion. Happy to have your rating and thoughts on my own game I submitted to this jam! Enjoy and thanks for your consideration. - Kyle
Thank you so much for playing my game! This one was definitely a lot to place in a clear timeline, y the way I am sorry about the voice acted lines (still fixing that issue) and no it doesn't glorify the gore when Luna reads it! This is just the narrator questioning and manipulating her, also a representation of her dark thoughts in her mind. The main goal is to overcome the fear luna has of the outside world and not let it control her, because as you could see she's paranoid and terrified of the world. The chaotic sequence and the way it loops is just a way to show how Luna is in this "never" ending cycle, which can be broken once we make a different choice. Since this is a demo I tried to make it as short as possible :3 even with these points I do hope you enjoyed part of it!! I will be playing your game soon too!
Sayorii!! You're comment is fantastic. I respect your ability to accept critique and focus on story. I DID enjoy it! Well done. Thanks so much for going deeper into the playthrough to help me out. I'd be happy to play your game longer on the Day 12/13 stream. If you're subscribed, you should get a notification that looks like "Replays and Spillovers" (late submissions) and I'd be happy to have you in the shat as we play! All the best and good luck in the jam!
Of course! This is a story that I had in mind but never got to actually do it, and I am so happy to have had the chance, I hope to get as much feedback as I can to make it better and how I visualized it in my head. If you plan to play it further (which I recommend, there are 4 endings ;)) I would be happy to be there, I will make sure to subscribe and check it out!! Hopefully im not too late <3 again thank you so much for playing the gameee
Great game! It is a pity that it's only a demo right now; the story was incredibly engaging! I look forward to when you turn it into a full game in the future! :)
thank you!!
Nice demo! Ok, now how do I sleep...
thank you!! xdd on the updated versionn
Very eerie! I enjoyed the atmosphere you created! I thought that some of themes of fighting to see the next day and fighting "no one" were very strong and captivating!
Thank you so much! I was worried that part would come off differently, this means a lot ✨
Ah yes, my favorite cereal, Deadly Corns. Very tasty. Very Nutritious.
In all seriousness though, this is a great game! A few things that stood out to me:
1: The absolute DETAIL in these backgrounds, man! The spooky picture on the fridge, the whole cereal box name, really fun stuff! Props to the artist!!!
2: The sound design is really cool, the gentle, yet spooky music-box really fits the game a lot. ^^
3: The font. This is more or less personal to me, but I have basically the same type-writer font in my game, haha! I also love the effects you did, with the shakyness, and sizes and all that!
Overall, excellent work man, REALLY nice stuff, you & ya team did gr8! ^^
Oh, by the way, if you don't mind, could you pls, pls, pls play/rate my game? I'd REALLY appreciate it! :c
Anyways though, good luck with the judging m8! You GOT THIS! ^^
xd!! The cereals are very nutritious indeed, or very deadly? :0
I’m so happy you enjoyed the game, all your points have made my day hehe. One of my favorite parts was definitely making the art for it, I really wanted to captivate with that and immerse you in the world Luna created for herself (thereby using dark colors: purple and blue all the way). By the way we have the same typo? Hehe I’ll make sure to play your game too! I’m going to play as many as I can, I’ll play yours probably today when I log on again 💕
Of course m8, hahah! ^^
I forget to even bring up the color scheme, things are so frickking vibrant!!! Judges'll love it I bet. ^^
(also thanks for playing my game! <3 ^^)
