Viability: "drop in that lovers hair" broke it :( otherwise it is indeed playable
Presentation: the rules of the game are understandable, i like how the text color changes based on who is talking. there's a few typos but it is a work in progress so they don't matter that much
Theme: there is a clear theme of makin potions :)
Engagement: the game does capture my imagination, i wonder what all the ingredients look like and what the lil frog witch looks like
Viability: i think some of the links are broken, i can't figure out how to progress past the cliff/head forward options, i always end up back there
Presentation: the text cuts off the screen pretty often, even in full screen mode :(
Theme: i enjoy the theme of being a little doggo exploring the world and finding your way home :) i look forward to meeting other friends like the raccoon or seeing how their adventure continues
Engagement: it does capture the imagination in viewing the world how a puppy would
Viability: The game is playable from beginning to end, tho during the part where your HP is draining it would be better if that draining was displayed for all of those passages. i thought i was safe when i got off the passage that it was displayed on
Presentation: YOOO IT LOOKS SO COOL
Theme: there's definitely a clear theme of being a lil guy trying to escape from a techy facility. i think it's pretty cool to mix the analog tech designs with the futuristic ideas of superpowers/genetic experiments
Engagement: whale!!! it really sparks your imagination, especially at the end but no spoilers :)
Viability: yep playable from beginning to end (tho it ends on a cliffhanger) i love how the ghost buddy is introduced
Presentation: the way it displays on itch is a little...weird? it ends up cropped weird and cuts off the images.
Theme: there is a clear emerging narrative, however the choice between an internet argument and the investigation doesn't really make sense. they're just two events that Happen to be starting at the same time. i think it would be better to intertwine them and have them effect each other in some unexpected way, or to just drop one to focus on the other.
Engagement: yep! i am very curious to learn the truth behind how ghost buddy died (i already forgot his name)
Viability: def can play from beginning to end, but the build your own sandwich bit with the changing texts was really hard... the font changing when you hover made it even harder to click things properly. i'm not sure all the options were even links lol
Presentation: it's so pretty!!! i love the changes between the anxiety thoughts and the narrative portions, as well as the use of color in the images and backgrounds.
Theme: the illustrations, the color, and the text go well together to convey the feeling of anxiety. maybe too good, since it genuinely started bothering my own anxiety hahaha
Engagement: it is feeding my imagination a lot! i'm hungry now. i want a sandwich :(
viability: playable from beginning to end mostly, it got mad at me for inputting the correct name before the very end. i love the repeated name inputs. i wish there was more choice to it tho, y'know? as is, it just feels like turning the pages of a book. which is nice, but is that a game or just an online book?
presentation: it's so cool, i love the aesthetics
theme: the story is soooooooo good. very existential dread 10/10
engagement: it captures the player's imagination very well as you wonder about what's going on in the outside world (and what the romance simulator could be)
