I'm amazed at the amount of gorgeous art this game has, given the two-week time frame. The story, puzzles and overall atmosphere are all incredibly charming. Excellent job!
Most of the backgrounds are actually just simple 3D backgrounds that were run through a filter and touched up in Photoshop. I'm actually surprised that people like them so much. :)
And yes, I admit that I had some conflicted feelings about adapting this story as well. It's a bit of a gray area since the magazine issue the story was originally published in is publicly available on archive.org.
Wonderful job! The puzzles, story and pacing all mesh together beautifully, and I look forward to playing the full version.
(I think I ran into a bug where the topic to ask Otarr if he'd made anything with the clay impression after giving him the impression and the hammer never showed up, though.)
Thank you! I admit that there were areas where I could have added more detail from the source material, but I got a bit short on time and decided to focus on the essential parts of the story instead.
Amazing entry! The humor, puzzles, and the many ways in which the religious theme is incorporated into nearly every facet of the experience are very well done.
This was a nice little game! There were times when I had a little trouble understanding what was happening, but I was still able to get through the puzzles fairly easily.
Hmm...that's a very strange bug you're describing. The text messages shouldn't close unless you click the mouse or press a key. It's probably a silly question, but are you running the game in Windows?
