Damn. I can see why this took 4 people. Nicely done. One of the best ones yet. Made me feel things as others here have already said enough times. 

I really liked the writing here. It wasn't quite clear what exactly I was choosing with some of the choices and I didn't really understand the ending  I got. That being said I felt like the story and writing really made up of for all of that. 

Thanks, it was disappointing to leave it unfinished. The world building's meagre but it's meant to guide the course of the story.

Thanks. Writing branching stories really does a number on the mind.

I also ran out of time and this was also my first game. Misery loves company I guess. Thank you!

It's a problem with your windows install, try installing the missing dll from here, maybe that will fix your problem https://www.dll-files.com/api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll.html

Sorry that's one of the downsides of using pygame. Writing bad code tends to drive the performance down quite a bit on less beefy machines

I enjoyed the game. I would suggest that you add waves and maybe a point system?

It played sort of like XCOM, which in my book is good thing. 

Good Luck with Jam!

I agree with the rest of the comments that the art was stunning . I did feel though that drawn images  didn't work all that well with the (pixel art?) tiles, in that case I think maybe illustrated isometric tiles would have worked better (though I'm guessing it might have added complications to the code). The gameplay was slightly confusing at first, (The fact that the kind of card sorting changes really threw me for a loop on the first run). 

The concept of rolling random  numbers with the dice and then you assigning them to stats was pretty neat, although the focus on this aspect was somewhat lost and I didn't think what I did with the numbers mattered much, mostly because the card sorting mechanic also decided the result of the player's actions. 

Overall, I liked the gameplay, it was fun. :)

The music and art are nice, though I feel that the pixel art sprite sort of conflicts with the (seemingly?) higher res background. 

I understand you didn't complete the game but don't worry too much I just barely finished mine :) . 

Thanks! The WASD controls were planned originally but I couldn't fix the complications they created within the Jam's timeframe.

I think adding a tutorial would help a lot some of the mechanics were hard at first, it is however a beautiful game around a nice concept, the soundtrack suited it perfectly and the pixel art is great. Though adding randomly generated maps would also be a great feature and a way to expand the game and keep replayability.

The "You died " font. From the message that appears when you die
Been seeing that a lot while playing

Quite a nice font though

what font did you use? Can you include the download link? Thanks

All praise for the game has kinda already been said...
