Hey, thanks for playing my game and the kind words!

To give credit where credit is due - the menu and settings are a part of the game engine I used - Ren'Py, so it isn't my achievement.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the game so much.

Thanks again for playing. :)

Really great game!

The gameplay is nice, the control feels responsive, just great!

The only bad thing is that there is so few levels.

Sorry for that.

As I wrote to the comments below, sadly there is a bug that prevents the ending from triggering. If you have met the child, the ending is supposed to be the next day. If you did not, then the ending is supposed to be 2 days after you meet the plague doctor for the second time.

I have no idea what happened, as I was able to playtest the endings previously just fine.

Thank you for playing.

Hi!

To react to all your points:

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to see that at least someone enjoyed playing my first game. So, thank you for all that.

Because I expected people to mainly play the browser version, I made the buttons very small because there is not much use for them (i.e., you won't probably save your progress in a short browser game). I suppose you played the downloadable one, so I understand that the size isn't good there.

I do plan on updating the game after the jam and maybe adding more content.

First, I have to fix the endings or remove them entirely because they can't be reached in the current version.

Secondly, this was my first actual game in an engine I never used before, so the code isn't very good and results in some errors, which I have no idea what causes them. Because of that, I will probably rewrite the entire game to make the code better, but that will take time.

Because I'm also a student, I have to balance studying and doing everything else, so I'm unable to invest as much time as I would like in game development.

I promise you though, that I will try to deliver more content for people to enjoy.

Thank you for playing my game.

It would be great if you actually played the games you comment on. :)

Hi!

Thank you for playing my game. :)

Mainly the ending was connected to the theme, which you can't see. As I discovered, there was an additional "+" in the game code, that prevents the ending from triggering.  

I also planned on the game having an additional ending, which you would trigger by messing with the game's files because the kingdom is not real and neither are the people you meet in it. Sadly, I didn't have the time for that...

I hope you enjoyed the game anyway.

Thank you once again for playing.

Oh, wow, that's not supposed to happen!

After a lot of time going through the code, I discovered an additional "+" that prevented the ending from triggering. I also tested the game again and you are correct, there is some bug in there... although I have no idea what it is, because everything seems okay in the code.

Normally the ending is supposed to trigger around the 10th day.

I will try to look for the error, but I appreciate you for playing the game so much! :D

I would love to get some feedback on mine:

There is an ending around the 10th day and yes, the choices start repeating quite fast, although there is about 40 of them, so you should be able to see new stuff for about 5-6 days, but I know that the next time I make a game like this, I have to make more of them.

Thanks for playing. :)

You can lose if you get one of your resources to zero twice. I made it harder to lose because I did not want the player to lose.

But before I made some changes, it was very hard to finish the game, so I made it easier. Chances are, that you were just lucky, so the game was easy for you. But a lot of things are random, so you can lose just because of randomness, which can feel unfair to the player.

Originally I had planned on doing more with the "it is not real" theme, but as the submission date kept coming closer, I decided to include less of it, so all that remains is the child and a few more dialogues that mention it.

Nice game, but quite hard!

Really nice game!

But very short. :(

Great game, love the art!

Just one thing: 

Why is everything on the itch.io page so big? I had to zoom out the page to 67% to even be able to see the entire game window.

Sadly, I can't play the game. :(
