The game's art style is one of its highlights! It looks incredible and very textured and stylized; combine that with your musical leitmotifs, and it's very immersive.
A few notes I have. The characters would pile up, and the background (ex: Trader's background in your game's screenshots) wouldn't show up. The dialog would also bleed out of the UI. I couldn't proceed with the game; I had to restart it to use the artifact on others. I suggest you add the dialog choices not on top of the characters.
I would've loved to see the festival and absolutely admire the creativity behind your game! I'm sold, and I want to see more updates on this game and play it fully fleshed out!
Viewing post in March Festival jam comments
Artist: Thanks for your compliments, this reactions is a huge reward for me! There are more arts that couldn't be included to the game due to coder's time issues so after jam ends in future updates and then in the release will be more character arts, backgrounds and a rewarding final art of the festival 😉
Coder: Thanks for the bug discoveries! It will be patched in the update after the jam ends ❤️ We'll consider how to treat the choices (tbh I had no time to code it properly so I just coded it at least somehow like with the text box).
Musician: Thank you for your warm words, it's a very big relief that not all the people plays with turned off sound 🧡
That's huge for us that you're catched and wait for the release :)
