Just finished this now.

One word. Fantastic.

I really liked this. The art, setting, writing, puzzles - all of it.

I would address the art differently, vs going high res. You can do that, but also you can stay 320x240 or whatever if you just don’t anti alias. That’s what makes it look blurry.

Astounding amount of art and rooms for the game. I don’t agree with any of the empty room comments. i liked wandering around and exploring and there was just enough space to explore and feel like it was a world and a real place to explore. I would not edit it down.

Very very mice job. Felt like a real game and was a huge amount of content for two weeks. I think if you polished it up a little more (art etc),. added a few more rooms of puzzles to lengthen it, and added voice you could sell it on Steam. Make it twice and long and go.

Liked it very much. Played in full screen at first, but then found posts here on how to play it in windowed (640x400), which was much better.

I'm not a big fan of "empty" scenes, but it wasn't too bad. At least the art was great.

One thing that got me stuck at some points was the fact that the in some scenes The cursor wasn't visible on the lowest edge of the screen, so I missed some of the transition spots. Taking a better look at the ground I realised the path went on in that direction, so that helped.

Anyway... Great entry, well done!

Once again a wonderful game you managed to put out in this short time.
I love your graphics but to be honest, I would have wished for a higher resolution so the backgrounds wouldn't be so blurry and in exchange fewer scenes. A lot of the scenes are just there to let you get a feel for the world (and that works great) but after a while I just ran through to get to the next place of interest and was getting a little bit impatient that I had to cross so many scenes. (sorry, I do have a bit of an inpatient nature ;-) )
But the game IS gorgeous! The music is absolutely fitting and the story is engaging and well written.
I love it.

What a gem. Wow. Just wow. Art, story, music, puzzle design, I have no complains at all.

On a separate note, you know I love to look for similarities between jam games... we have one very similar puzzle :P

Finished at last! Really catching and touching story emerged :-).

Spent more time than needed running and fishing around, but found and collected all in the end.

Hope you come up with some new one soon!!!

I'm amazed at the amount of gorgeous art this game has, given the two-week time frame. The story, puzzles and overall atmosphere are all incredibly charming. Excellent job!

that was awesome! It’s amazing what can be done in only two weeks! 

I enjoyed the story and style,  and the puzzle with the pig was something I haven’t seen before , I thought I was very clever.

One thing I noticed was even after I found the key and was on the the next part when I clicked on Tarik he was still asking if I found the key yet. 

The over all atmosphere and creepy aspects were great and I would love to play more stories in their style/world.

A really professional-level game on many levels! The art is really, really impressive both in quality and the sheer amount of it; the sets are beautiful and they really evoke the look-and-feel of old King's Quest-style games. The character art is cute and quirky; I especially like the pig king's animations. It's a great premise for a story and well-executed. The puzzles are challenging, well-constructed, and rewarding. And there are some very, very funny turns of phrase.

So it's because this is such a very polished and well-constructed game that I want to give some feedback that's a little more exacting than I've given other entries, because you've nailed so much stuff that I want help elevate it even to the next level. (I'm not rating you more exactingly, obvs.)

The core gameplay of an adventure game is of course the click-on-things-and-use-items part. But there are two things this game has a lot of that dilute that core gameplay: Empty space and text.

Space: There are quite a lot of rooms that contain nothing--in fact probably most of the rooms. While it's incredibly impressive that you drew so many sets, it goes against general adventure game design principles. KQ1 had a lot of empty rooms because it was a brand-new medium and just walking around the map was a novel experience, but no more. It's disappointing to walk into a room and find nothing, especially repeatedly.

Text: This is the bigger issue. There is so, so much more text than there needs to be. There's a lot of describing stuff that we can see for ourselves, and a lot of repetition and explanation that we don't need. Take this line, for example:

"It's just us, and old Helga in the woods," you remember Masha saying.

Not only do we not need this line because we heard Masha's line just a few minutes previously, we also didn't need Masha's line, because we can see for ourselves that it's just the three of them. Unnecessary text like this feels patronizing, as if you don't expect us to be able to remember things or make simple inferences. You could remove about 2/3 of the text from this game without losing any information. 

Between those two things, actual gameplay felt like a small portion of the play time. Reducing them would make the game feel tighter and livelier. (Branching the text, even if purely cosmetic, would also help a lot.) Again, saying this because I want to help contribute to a game that's really, really good already, and I hope it'll be taken in that spirit.

This is insanely good! Especially considering the time frame of two weeks. This feels like a game that was made with much more time than just two weeks and it feels very *complete*. The only thing I'm wanting for in this is a windowed mode, haha. Because everything else is absolutely fantastic! 

I simply kneel down - game's astonishing - your graphics (above all background one but characters too) is stunning, the story is really great and Paco's music works in a perfect way with everything else. 
An impressive adventure game - even not considering the two weeks time frame.

Congratulations

Really impressive effort here. A lot of content, not just the artwork which must have taken a heavy toll on the workload already, but also in terms of dialogue as well as the overall subtle effects and transitions. Good job!

Such an amazing achievement, beautiful story with a touching ending, and insane amount of superb artwork (I gave up counting backgrounds after a while).  Love the "navigator head" puzzle too :-) So much love poured into this game! 

Only thing I'd suggest is adding windowed version of the game because it is a bit too low res for full screen.

I haven't finished it yet, but just wanted to say this is breathtaking. I really have no idea how you can do so much in two weeks! like 29 backgrounds or so right? How long do you spend on each one? They look so full of detail! 
Also curious if you draw them at-res, since it seems like your style would scale up beautifully to high-res. Anyway, I'll play more and give my thoughts, but I'm pretty blown away already ;)

Loved the artwork, and the personality that went into the dialogue and creativity of the storyline. Great job.

Incredible, to think that you made everything including the art in 2 weeks. Very well done! The story is fun too!

I did not expect to like the game this much! The artstyle reminded me of old Point and Click games I've seen videos of and the story was really interesting. I also like how the genre was satirized (not sure if that's the word), it reminded me of clips I saw from Sam and Max. The only issues I had were very small. When clicking to go to the next area, you have get the mouse in the exact position in which the transition is triggered. Otherwise, great entry especially considering this was made in only 2 weeks!

This was incredible. I am really blown away by what was accomplished here in 2 weeks! Visually stunning, very sharp and effective writing, good puzzles. Plus, the story ended up having a lot of heart. Well done!

uauu
