Overall: A great little VN-style game with some cool aesthetic and functional spins on the usual RPG.

Gameplay: Love the board game-style overworld and the combo system in battle. I played on Storybook Mode and encounters were still challenging. It did get a little confusing figuring out which enemy I was targeting though, even with the indicator that appears after a little bit.

Music: Music packs do a nice job augmenting the dreary atmosphere of the castle and the cult resurrecting the dark lord.

Comedy: Nice blend of dramatic storytelling and comedy which I always love.

Graphics: The typical RTP and Aekashic graphics get a very nice boost from your beautiful VN-style character sprites. Love all the different expressions. Canary is also hot which is a nice bonus.

Story: A little shorter than I was expecting but I still really enjoyed it. Absolutely love the way "go on without me" is used at the beginning. Still messes me up seeing other people using the name Emvi after I used it in my first Harold jam entry two years ago. It's low hanging fruit but it always gets me.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you liked the board game style navigation. Its a style I try to improve on whenever I use it.

I'll for sure work more on battle balancing. I'm also experimenting with ways to make it easier to tell whose turn it is & which enemy you're targeting. And the battle presentation in general, honestly.

Nice to hear the music served its job, and that story style is a mix I have a habit of going for! I can never go too far in either direction, & try to get a blend of both (though I usually lean more towards the lighthearted).

I really appreciate the compliment on the character sprites!! & CANARY SWEEP!! I won't lie, "kinda hot angel" was the angle I went for when drawing him, so, its good to hear the intention was successful lmao.

Yeah this was planned to be longer, but sadly time wasn't on my side... The "go on without me" was originally gonna be more direct & in a scene that couldn't show up until after the demo (due to time), until I realized I could fit it into the intro scene. It ended up working better there.

& oh cool, didn't know you'd used the name Emvi in an earlier jam. Now I wanna check it out👀

Go ahead! It's actually the prequel to my entry for this jam.
