There are two "main" endings with various outcomes regarding who dies and who lives: the helicopter ending and the jumping out of the window ending. One person always survives, the rest depends on the circumstances (some choices, but also RNG - I tied some outcomes to dice rolls due to the lack of time :) ). 

Yes, although my mistake (or just time limit on the jam) made me tie a lot of potential outcomes to the dice rolls, so there's some RNG involved! 

SPOILERS BELOW:

The four-helicopter ending happens only if Scott is motivated to do it. To avoid it, try not to compliment him and not bring him his mug.
There are two main endings with many potential folks living or dying: the helicopter ending and the jumping-from-the-window ending. You jump from the window if you fail to obtain any form for the last phone call, or if you obtain Phylis' outdated form and fail to convince them it's the "right" one. Both are tied to dice rolls on the way. In helicopter ending there are two ways (through motivated Scott or motivated Phylis) to save everyone, else it's up to your dice rolls, and you pick in the end who will survive. In window ending, only the motivated team members survive. :) 

;( ;( ;( THANK YOU your comment both here and on Ludum made my day today! 

this was very sweet and a great interpretation for the ludum theme! thanks for adding a bit of a tolerance threshold so I didn't have to match the waves 1:1 :D can you add the link to LD59 to description so we can rate? <3 

somewhere, deep in your heart, the refrigerator is already there!

I wish you many wishlists and great release, this was awesome

Popularity is important and putting out a lot of items with negative popularity rating may tank you! Also, you get bonuses for setting items of the same "type" on the table (fossils/bones together, rocks together, treasures together, and even trash together). Popular trash can sometimes be better than unpopular treasure :)

Huge thanks for the detailed review and finding the issues! We're working on a bigger version right now and will implement some changes based on this! 🙏

:D

Great feedback and good ideas, we'll work on that!

Just fixed this, sorry!

Our bad for not specifying that you need to reach the portal with your base's range! We're working on post jam version now and will upload a new demo when ready :) 

This is super fun, and itch browser version works great on Android! I totally recommend working it into a mobile game, I'd play this a lot :) 

In the jam version, there's none! We're planning an expanded version where time limits may be a thing, though :) 

We're doing both for the post-jam version! One of the things we didn't have time to implement for the jam was an additional pick-up resource layer, where you can boost your economy shortly with found loot, which should help with the rising difficulty level (and promote expansion in other directions). We'll keep the page updated :) 

FIRST COMMENT

Thank you, we're fixing it now!

Thank you!

Had tons of fun playing your game and wanted to rate it on Ludum Dare, but there's no link in description and there's no way to search by name on LD page :( Can you pls add link?

This is really adorable and a great job for just 72 hours! I had a lot of fun taming the dinos and petting them afterwards :) 

This is such a huge compliment, thank you SO much! 

This game is adorable! Great job drawing all the charms, I had so much fun collecting them!

in this build, cashier character with good speed is a ready-made cheat combo to get insane numbers :') I'm working on an expanded version of this game right now that will eliminate similar loops, thank you for reporting! 

Good find, thank you! I'll look into what might've caused that, I think the bug stems from a cashier character role loop that often results in wild numbers!

Hey! It's probably because you haven't bought a table! You need at least one more table to start serving your customers. Tutorial says it, but it's my bad for forcing player action to start the game loop, should've put the first table there by default :) 

This was super fun! Love the asset work and the mechanics, I only reached level 5 on my first playthrough, but planning to try my luck again :) 

Really great asset work, and it has FISHING! Big plus :) 

That was really well done! I really like the overcharging mechanic, it was fun to gamble on gains while deciding on when to attack.

Hey, can you put a Ludum Dare link in the description? Not sure how to find your game there!

Wow that was super pretty and fun! I'd love a dating sim on that premise tbh :) 

Really interesting idea! Would love to see more puzzles in the future!

Absolutely gorgeous asset work, great character sprites, beautiful board for the card game, and great music/sound effects. I haven't beaten it yet as Genepil keeps on running out of health, but I'll try more :) 

Hey folks, if you're looking for a group to jam with, here are some sources of great people:

World of Darkness LFG Twitter thread

World of Darkness Discord

Dark Pack Community Discord

The jam is now over! The competition was fierce, and the decision was tough - we played all of your games, and discussed (screamed, yelled, torpored and diablerized) a lot before we've picked our favorites. Many more games from the jam deserve recognition, and we cannot stress enough the encouragement for all Vampire: The Masquerade fans to play more of them - there are some true gems out there! 

But, alas, the top three was chosen...

The winners, picked by World of Darkness Brand Team, are: 

• First place: Heartless Lullaby
• Second place: Praxis
• Third place: Waning Crescent

We mentioned more games in our website article and announcement stream. Thank you so much for participating! 

Hello everyone! I will be joined by Sean Greaney, WoD Brand Manager live on Thursday, 17:00 CET / 11 AM EST / 8 AM PT on World of Darkness Twitch stream to announce the winners of this jam!

News will be also shared on WoD website, Discord and social media, and the full stream will be available to watch on YouTube soon later. 

See you there! 

Sure, I try not to give critique for games unless asked, mainly because I don't want to suggest that you have to put these changes in - simply, it's a learning experience for everyone, and with next jams and next games things will only go better! The main issue OMaH has was the crashes, for one of the team members the game crashed after night 2, and they weren't able to proceed. Further in the game it seemed like more testing early could do a lot, to weed out any potential bugs. 

On my end,  I liked having to pick the right people for the job, but I'd love to see characters more fleshed out throughout the game - you started really strong with showing beautiful pictures of them, which could suggest they all have their own story, desires and agenda throughout the game, but I didn't feel like it later on! 

It took me back to the good old days, loved to see a classic retro game in the jam, and it was executed in a very faithful way to the genre!

Safely in my top 5 visual novels of the jam! Great combination of Dark Pack assets with your own, done with style, my choices felt like they mattered, and I was able to unlock two endings, one of which was very wholesome!

Great job on your first game! I liked the usage of Him as a sort of steering "secondary narrator" of the plot, and making him ask protagonist for things that determine what kind of a vampire we are. Great use of the assets and music too!

I was scared and I loved it! I especially like the recordings on a PC down in the basement, the story really grasped me good, and kudos on making protagonist a regular unknowing human - it added to the mystery!
