Hi! Your game looks intersting. I'm not sure what I am supposed to do though. I know I choose if I am a werewolf or not and can get through several days, but do I play as all 5 characters? If you could just clarify that for me I'll give it another shot :)

Aawww thank you! You only play as yourself. The other 4 characters are basically CPUs. Currently you cannot play as anyone other then yourself.
Just to make sure you know, your goal as a human is to find out who the werewolf is and vote them off. As the werewolf your goal is to fully infect the town.
Hope that helps ya and if you need to ask any more questions or just need help, you can always ask!
oof, i thought I fixed that bug, but it seems it still exists somehow. I dont know if you can fix the amount of infected townspeople to allow you to win. Sadly can't fix that bug until the jam is over :( tho I do have a workaround that should work if you want to continue playing that save.
Turn order doesn't truly matter. Its more for the player to know who went before them and who's going after them, incase you might be able to figure out who the werewolf is.
The only way to vote someone out is if the majority of people vote for that person. That means that either 3 of the CPUs need to vote, or you and 2 CPUs need to vote the same person. Assuming all 5 of you are alive. A CPU will vote for a person if there suspicion for that person is 100 or more. The player doesnt see this information, only there own suspicion, that they can use for there own information
Ahh I see, thanks for the clarification. Overall, I think the game has potential. It’s basically Werewolf but single player and we know that that game is very successful. I think your biggest issue is communication to the player (for example I also wouldn’t have known how to continue if the other commenter didn’t mention how they got stuck, since the blue hyperlink appearing ABOVE the submit button and it not being a button didn’t make me think i could click on it. My other questions in this thread should also give you an idea of what I was confused by). I can see you put in a lot of work into making cards and the voting system. You should be proud of what you have made :)
Don’t worry about the bugs, as you grow over time, you will learn not only how to identify bugs faster, but also how to organize your code to make it less likely that you’ll get bugs in the first place. Keep at it and I’m excited to see your submission next year!
Yeh, one of the things I wasn't going to be able to finish in time was explaining how things worked. I was originally going to put that at the beginning but just ran out of time in more ways than one.
Most of the bugs I've seen so far are from the systems that I implemented right at the end of the jam, so that's been good! And thank you for all the compliments and stuff :3
Hopefully next year ill not only have time but also enough skill to know what to prioritize and stuff. The game was originally going to have custom music made by me. It wasn't going to be that good.... but it was going to exist. Just ran out of time and energy to actually finish making any.
