Cool concept, and very unique! I love the different contexts and things that arrive from conversations with all the people!

Certainly a very creative take on the theme! Art matches very well with the absurd dialog!
The dialog itself was a bit all over the place. It lacked a bit in structure for my liking, I believe it would be funnier to have dialog that starting to make sense and then drop something weird in there. But maybe I just didn't get something, or had an unlucky run in the game
Anyways good job putting this unique game together in such a short time!
I played it on my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to see it

Petroll The DiceI think you have to go in the game knowing that it won't make sense and having fun imagining what the weird sentences means. But I agree about the lack of sense, sometimes it is just to much. (And also you didn't have much luck at all x))
And good idea about the normal sentences and bim something weird !
Thank you very much for playing it on stream and for the comment !
lol what did I just play? Apparently my spirit doesn't have whatever it takes to be fulfilled haha
Very unique idea to use random generation for conversations, not something I was expecting. Well put together :)

Circus TesseraeA fresh type of game amongst those that I've played in the game jam, that's for sure! Pretty unique idea. The "roll of the dice" theme is kinda difficult to see, since it all boils down to randomness in dialogue generating. I'm not too big of a fan to the audio aspect, however the visuals fit quite well with one another.
P/S: I couldn't give live commentary due to not being able to stream, sorry

Roll Literally RollFunny game! I ended up with a conversation about Lady Gaga stealing a clown from someone's own home! I got the message that it was time to go home and nothing else happened, I couldn't tell if I reached the end of the game or not. Overall a fun game that gave me a good laugh!

Doodle DiceThese conversations are better than the ones I'm having lol . I will note some down for future reference :-) Anywhi, really nice concept! I really think experience games are part of a vast unexplored territory, so it was cool to encounter such a game! Lovely graphics, music sound and these silly conversations are so delightful!!!

DaisuOmg your art style is fire! I've never seen a game take that on before but it looks great! Weirdly unsettling game which is feels super polished and engaging! Love the dialogue too, great work :)

Dickie RollemThis is a great change of pace from many of the other games in this jam! The dialogue was funny and I'm honestly quite concerned about the inhabitants of this town...

DiceologistVery nice presentation, I like the art of grainy images and "pieces" of paper.

"DiceWalk" - a GMTK 2022 submissionThis is delightfully weird. Exactly my style. A bizarre experience beginning to end (I think the end? I completed the conversation with every character- if there was more past that I did miss it, please let me know)
The art and music are, again, super weird and I love them. The 'background' images are simultaneously very normal places yet become almost comically odd given what is happening with the conversations in them.
