Interesting concept. Felt like a choose your own adventure book. Nice work!

Lovely little text based CYOA game. I died. Tried again :). Damn berries! hah

Very fun and simple game :)

Really fun, I was doing so well until I sent myself flying haha.

Fun lil text adventure. I died in two clicks :D There are a few little variables that seem to be a tad bugged: I managed to find the flashlight (picking flowers) after I had already found the flashlight (digging). I only could use the book to identify berries once :( Overall this is a fun nostalgia romp with charming art and inspired story. Some BGM and sound effects would go a long way here. Nice work!

Gave me nostalgia for those old CYOA books especially with the art, well done!

A text based, hand drawn game! Very unique. This is the first time since I was... what, 12, 13 years old that I played an HTML/CSS based game? Haha. I dig it! The artwork is charming, and I liked the mechanic where you don't get a second choice at the berry bushes, like that when you go back the berries aren't available to pick. I ended up playing very cautiously, but ended up dying at the headless horseman. Still, a great little experience!

Nice setting, engaging story, loved the addition of graphics. Good job.

I was not expecting to find a choose your path game on here. Really nice job, i loved this genre when i was a kid!

I like the art style and how you must decide carefully on what to do next, or else you take damage or die. 

The skeleton was very spooky 11/10

I'm always happy to see someone's first jam submission- I mean, I was there less than a year ago.

Let's talk about your game. I think you already realize that the story is your strongest  quality. It was engaging, although I didn't feel a consistent theme, more like a bunch of scary mysterious things happening in a spooky forest. That's not a bad thing- the game "betrayal in the house on the hill" is just that, and I love it :)

Art was cool- it was nice you kept black-and-white palette using color just to add emphasis on some stuff. It would be cool if there was more variety- like if the text tells me "you approach the lake" there would be a appropriate picture in the background, but I realize that this takes way more work. What could be an easy win, is adding just a bit of movement to fight scenes. Like some up-and-down movement, nothing fancy (of course the animations would go even harder).

Adding some sounds would help too. I often use freesound.com for my sound needs (if you use it remember to credit sound authors).

Over all- congrats on your first jam game! 

A good visual novel, a nice effort!

Very good story, really liked it 

Very nice game, that font style was a good choice and coloring the font to show important information is always a plus in a game like this, very good submission.

Like the other comments suggested, audio would've been a boon.

My only other (incredibly small) gripe is I got the book to identify berries, but it doesn't work on bushes you've already passed.

The game is a pretty good visual novel, fitting for a first game jam game. Congratulations! Would be nice if you added some background noise if you want some feedback.

I really like this, great idea & nice execution especially for your first jam!

A good game with a good narrative. Would have been nice if there were some sound effects though
