I played the censored version. This game has a LOT of gorgeous art. Wow, I can't believe how much custom art was in this game. I laughed when the main guy character put on his beautiful armor.

Now, in theory this was a very creative idea to have a game without dialogue and combat be completely different from what we are used to in RPG games.

In practice however, what ended up happening was I had a hard time understanding/following the story. And my poor mouse and clicking finger took a beating.

There's also a ?bug? I ran into where if your HP goes negative, the game keeps going (which I appreciate, b/c some fights are difficult).

While I appreciate how different this game is and what it was going for, this game isn't for me. As a Christmas game jam game, the beginning sets a WTF mood instead of a happy Christmas spirit mood.

I appreciate the honest feedback on the matter. I actually figured this would be the response that the game is intended for. I admit that the game's jolly vibes are very much near nonexistent here and that it might impact the creative aspect of the game's overall score. But I tried my best to create the silent scenarios so people can just interpret it however they please. And I wasn't really aiming to win nor to make a jolly tale in the grand scheme of things. That being said, if it didn't convey anything for you then my apologies for the unpleasant experiences you're undergoing playing through this game.

In regards to the HP bug, I feared that would be the case since I was really trying to fix that whole lose condition issue. I don't know if I can rectify it but considering that the bug helped you instead of hindering you, then I won't question the logistics of the blunder for now.

Thank you for playing the game.
