Oh, wow! I didn't realize this was published a week ago! I only realized this was recent when I saw your inspiration came from Shepherd's Flock.
I greatly enjoyed session 1. I loved the character sheet tracking the status effects as well as the breaks in the fourth wall. Being able to put a custom name and species really made me feel like I was in the story.
I don't know if there is a way to spoil text on Itch, so be aware that the following paragraph will have slight spoilers for the ending of session 1.
Like my character, I really felt like the session was cut off abruptly right before it got to the good part (and I don't mean this in a bad way at all!) It felt like zoning out during a session and coming back to see you missed a good portion of it, which I am guilty of.
Knowing this is a new and recent project, I'll make sure to stay updated! I'm eager to see what Marath plans to do next.
First off, I would like to say that I am enjoying this game. I have only played for a few minutes so far, but I'm already having fun!
That said, I wanted to point out that some scenes, such as the one with the jackal (Ending 13: "Seen the Light"), don't use the right body part terms for the character's species. I've only played as a bird so far, but sometimes the game mentions my character's "muzzle/snout/nose" and "'ears' falling backward." There is also a typo in that same ending where it is written "the poke of your tip against your belly brings back a hazy image of the world."
As I continued to play, I noticed that many parts in the game make that mistake.
Edit: I just finished playing, getting Ending 15 (as well as Iana's ending). This was an amazing game! Possibly one of the best text-based hypno games I've played! All the different ways you can get hypnotized, as well as hypnotizing the others, are very well written.
As a few have already mentioned, adding a "Good Ending" or even writing a variation to Ending 15 would be a great idea if you ever have the time and motivation to continue working on this.
Hello, what is the difference between the full version (Act 1) and the demo? I haven't played the demo since version 0.11 and wanted to know if it was worth buying it as it currently is.
Is there any way to know what the status effects are? I can infer some of them from the icons, but others such as the second yellow one are unknown to me.
I am also getting this problem. I've tried each level and the character just keeps spinning. It happens in the jungle, the streets, and the debug levels. It's a real bummer because I've had problems with the game ever since version 0.5.8
