Short and
sweetdeliciously demonic. There was great attention to detail here, and the different elements worked really well together, from UI to character art to writing. I was in awe of the music/sfx, and it was really interesting to hear more about the thought process behind it in the dev talk stream with mistershins. I also really liked the flame animation, I love that kind of stuff and know how it can take ~awhile~ to animate, so special kudos for that <3 Well done, team!Really cool concept and execution! Awesome animations, music, character design, writing. I only wish it were longer!
WOAAAH I love the art direction and I absolutely love LIAM!! Liam nation. I will happily stare into his monochromatic eyes any day [bats my lashes].
The storytelling was easy to get immersed into and I absolutely adore the way you all handled the time loop idea of keeping the main character aware of the initial failure. I definitely wanna play the other routes to find out more on Andre's deal but MAN Liam the king that you are.
The Demon's design screams personality. Hope to see more of your work in the future, awesome visuals.
Grandparents and their evil demon summoning books, we've all been there
Short but nice game. Love the art and the summoning animation. Grandpa, oh, Grandpa... This is why we shouldn't try summoning ritual for fun during a sleepover.
The bottom comment said it better than I could ever, but it’s really impressive how much good stuff you’ve managed to squeeze into such a short game. And indeed, I really want to learn more about grandpa!
This was SUCH a treat! What a fantastic and tidy short story: the tension is phenomenal, and everything feeds into the core of the game without at all distracting from it. Excellent work to the whole team!! 🌟
Wow!! Absolutely incredible entry - great animations (especially that summoning!), great character sprites, and an extremely tight short story. I love the color scheme you've gone with, and the scratchy line work works so well. I played through a few ending paths, and though all were quite well done - definitely some intriguing character dynamics in there, and leaves me very intrigued about what grandpa got up to. Great job all around, and HUGE congrats to the whole team
