How does your game fit the theme?
It's central element is a well, in which player dives on multiple routes available in game. Player also dives deeper into the game as it allows metaprogression with some path open only after completing specific route.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I have used my old code samples for settings and saves system, part of visual assets (tarot, backgrounds) is generated by AI and other part (UI) are my collages of various free assets. Audio assets are from pixabay with more detailed credit in the game.

WELL that was a great experience! 📖

Things I enjoyed ✔️

Dialogue is done very well!
I love the different "Cards", or seemingly endings.
The story branches are great!
Dialogue is very funny!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

All I noticed was just some of the text not fully fitting on the buttons, but that was about it.

Overall 📓

This was a great game. One of the best narrative experiences I have played! I enjoyed playing through this game multiple times! Very impressed with the work put into this one!

Fun game with some really funny dialogue

Submitted

Aaron ZartmanSubmitted246 days ago

Really enjoyed the ambience as well as how endings unlocked alternative routes. My favorite was how unlocking the necromancer could lead you to take over the castle and unlock even more routes. My one suggestion would be to distinguish the old and new dialogue from each other to improve readability/clarity. Great job!

Lmao what the heck is the beginning of this narrative! Funny and unexpected. Wish the art were in-house but also understand that with that amount of art, it's not really possible in a week. How it was put together is very beautiful though, and the idea is also cool! So, what else can I say but..

Really beautiful style, and relaxing music. Some of the scrolls were hard to navigate but overall Im coming back to play the game.

Very funny writing and clever choice system! I enjoyed it a lot!
As a suggestion maybe separate new text from previous ones a bit.

It's a pretty nice idea for a game. I would like to see some separation between old and new dialogues.

Text-based gang rise up 🤝

Too bad your UI is broken on 16/9 screen at least on WebGL

A Bizarre Fish Adventure

AlexiushDeveloper253 days ago

Damn! Which parts of it and what browser did you use? It runs good at 16/9 on my side

GalatyneSubmitted253 days ago(+1)

Firefox, the text is too big for the buttons and clip through

AlexiushDeveloper253 days ago

Got it! I'm still getting used to Unity UI Toolkit, but I think I will get a solution for this after the jam. Thanks!

jakerutterSubmitted253 days ago

Cool game. Really great take on the theme. It's not a big deal, but for a game based on text, maybe run it through Word or another text editor (there were a handful of spelling mistakes). Overall I enjoyed it. One part made me laugh out loud.

I had some problems with reading UI and in some places text is hard to read but nice original concept
