A simple game with an abundance of delightful dialogue. Very impressive to construct a full-fledged game with avatars and art and movement in such a short amount of time!
A great story and lots of action, centered around choices, which is what every good interactive fiction game should strive for. I appreciated that there was a “restart from last decision” option, and that the game told you (if you get to the end) whether or not you got the ‘best’ ending. Game was long enough to be interesting, but short enough that playing through it multiple times wasn’t annoying. Great job!
Just played my first game, thought it was indeed fast, easy, and fun. I kept expecting it to get harder, but I only felt tense when I first started. Maybe I just got really lucky with my rolls, but I rarely felt like I was in danger of losing the game completely.
Finished with 6 food, 0 wounds, and 16 cards in my hand. Maybe a few more challenges and a few less ‘keep this card’ events? Or saying 2-7 is a miss instead of 2-6?
Overall I liked it, but not sure I’d play through it more than once without some changes to make it more challenging.
I am a terrible procrastinator and only now just finished reading this review. Thank you so much for taking the time to play and think about my game, I’m ever so grateful. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I agree with your critiques of how my use of ‘leads’ isn’t really in keeping with how the LEADS system ‘intended’. ;) Guess I had a game idea and shoe-horned it in there a bit, but at least it still makes for a fun-enough game. :)
Finally finished the manual, this game is now actually playable! Let me know if there’s anything I missed, or if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
Hi! I just submitted a very-much-incomplete manual for my game The Road Leads West. Wanted to make sure I got something in before the deadline. I will try and finish it up and publish a better version later tonight. Thanks for making this jam and for making the LEADS system! First time in forever I’ve been able to make a game from scratch in under a week!
