For players that open a lot of games on a page all at once, I'd suggest adding to the gamepage that this is a duet game. So when they get to it that information is readily available. I say that because I know some players who come from outside of Itchio don't always check the tags.

Otherwise this is a very good setup, the green and black work well on the gamepage (recalls something classy but also moldy at the same time the way it creeps in on your header. Good for evoking decay). The doodles are GREAT. Very 90s indie comic or even something simple from the keenspace days. You put a LOT of heart and soul into this document and it just resounds with all the lore and character a game like this needs. I can't speak to playing it because I normally play solo games but I can definitely see a duo picking this up and really vibing with it.

Thank you so much, this is invaluable feedback! I'll edit the page right now.

I had plans to add an oracle system and more tables to enable solo journaling gameplay, but ran out of time. There are a few games I looked up for inspiration on that front, from small indie titles on a similar scale, to the other Boundless games I cited in the credits. As well as Ironsworn, of course. I hope to make it happen in the near future!

omg, I'm about to tell you something crazy. I don't often compare one creators works to another's in comments unless its prompted. I know some folks don't like that. But when I saw "Yes, Matriarch" I automatically thought, "These themes and vibes are SO similar to that one game I saw recently: Lonely Number 4! I wonder if VItheSixth would enjoy that game..." but decided to stay quiet. So when I went to click on your comment and saw your creator page instead...lol. I do INDEED hope you'd enjoy Lonely Number 4 after all! It'd only be fitting, haha.

Hehe glad to hear you enjoyed that one too!

I think I would have a good time with the game as an outsider. Looking back, pathetic and/or normie PCs are my vibe. And after running Betty N°4 as an NPC for a time, I can safely say I would know how to play her as a character. If you ever give this one a chance, I'd be curious to hear how long your Betty lasts!

Edit: As an added fact about Lonely Number 4, two of the games that inspired me to make it were "Shark Girls Run the Food Stall?!" and "The Lost Roseville Stage". I got them from the recent No ICE in Minnesota bundle and this has been a great discovery.
