Loved it, very well observed and very well done!

Thank you so much for playing!

This is just a masterpiece. You can truly hate this Justin, and feel the despair of Frank. Just great writing, music and general feel. The only thing I would change is maybe pressing the "continue" button with an enter key because after a few dozen deaths I already know the starting path and taking the mouse away distracts me. But it may be only me.

Great game, will show it to all my friends.

Developer

Thanks! I agree adding a button to continue is meaningful, low effort, best user experience. 

Glad you enjoyed the game!

Played and rated. To be frank it's pretty good for a game jam!

I really enjoyed playing the second game mode to avoid doing the wrong choice and restarting. The narration was excellent, it made me feel the same way as in The Stanley Parable. Seeing our choices have effects created a narrative connection. Excellent submission for a 10 days game jam! :)

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Developer

Thank you! Glad you appreciated the easy mode. I think it's too easy, but I did it in zero time to let people who wanted to see the ending. 

Thanks for playing! I'll try to play your game ASAP!

That dude Justin is a capricious jerk.

Great job on your game!

Developer

Thank you! Yes, he is lunatic, and doesn't know exactly what he wants. That's why the game tricks you :D

Good writing, this was fun! The minimalistic style works really well too.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the writing :)

I enjoyed some parts of the game but in other parts the narrator seemed inconsistent. Sometimes he rewarded being "frank" sometimes he wanted a suck up. The emotional piano music was my favorite part.

Developer

Thanks for playing! 

Yes, he is a bit lunatic XD happy you enjoyed the music!

LMAO this was hilarious xD I love the writing and the humor. Not much else to comment on except this was really well made and you made me chuckle a bunch of times :D

Developer(+1)

Happy to hear that! Thanks for playing!

I'm going, to be frank, but this game is just too good. How can a game with no gameplay be this good? Must be because of the juicy vote the dev will give me after I leave a nice comment!

Frankly speaking, while I don't usually enjoy these types of games, I appreciate the humor and the novelty. Clever writing. The narcissistic psycho personality Justin has is interesting and you captured that very well. But I think I will be very frustrated without the easy mode. Would be insane if it has a voice-over.

Great game, Frank. great game.

...

Can I get my vote now?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the frank review :D yes I know game can be frustrating, and not all people like that. I took this into account. Easy mode maybe it's too easy, but I did that in no time just to let people who want to see the ending.

I'll try your game ASAP!!! Now I have no PC access for couple of days, but I'll do before voting timeframe ends, or I'll die :P

Submitted

No worries if you can't make it, we don't really mind. :P Cheers!

really an indie game masterpiece. Really fun dialogues. I almost could here its voice like the narrator in Stanley Parable. Very simple but elegant. Thank you for this game.

Developer

so glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing!

I have to be honest, it is not my type of game. The writing was good just not my cup of tea. I like more light hearted conversations and feel good moments. It is well done however. The dialogue system works well and was flawless in it execution. I did not make it to the platformer because I got tired of having to redo the conversation over and over. That just because I am bad at these type of games. 

Developer(+1)

thanks for your frank 🥶 review. Yes, i took into account that a bunch of people would not have enjoyed the game. It's just not for everyone, that's what it is. If you want to see the ending, there's an easy mode. Choose Franky mode, and avoid red text. In less than 5 mins you should be done. If you don't want to, no problem, thanks for trying the game 😊

Loved my choice of emotional piano! 

I started playing the normal mode but it was furstrating as f* , Justin is a b*tch, so yeah, i really wanted to end the game and found myself playing the easy mode.

I laughed a lot when the platform game began but didn't quite like the fact that in a moment u have to be rude with justin (best memories) and them u hav to suck up to him,.

Justin is a strange AI.

Glad you enjoyed the game, and thanks for mentioning the music, that is something that I always try to take care of. Yes, i know the game is frustrating, it's just that some people like it, so i made a game for them 😅 and added the easy mode to let people who wanted to see the end without wanting to kill me.

Yes, Justin has a weird personality. Let's say, you have to assecondate him and make fun of him at the same time, but without letting him know... Maybe 🤔


Thanks for playing!

Very funny and well made. It was a good idea to have an easy mode.

Developer
