This is an amazing story and great game! I absolutely adored it. The writing is atmospheric and precise, the characterisation is strong from the snippets of detail we get and there's lots of small but well done moments - like the (mild spoiler) doctor noticing that the mc is a smoker from the ash on her boots, something we learn in an earlier scene, which establishes the instant connection between these characters through how they observe one another.
The visuals and presentation are absolutely stunning.
I found the mechanic section absolutely impossible to understand though and had to watch the walkthrough.
It took a bit of clicking around for me to understand the mechanics but I like how the exploration and the level system are combined, I also like the character designs and gme concept.
Thank you soo much!! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I've spent a lot of time thinking about piss play and how it relates to a lot of different subjects for me, so I'm really happy to see people responding to those thoughts and hopefully gaining a deeper appreciation for the depths of human sexuality, if that isn't too pretentious lol. And getting the code to work for the count down was so fucking annoying but it was worth it. I'm excited to learn how to do other stuff in Twine :)
I enjoyed this and thought it was rlly funny! It's always nice to see gay experiences depicted in a casual way that feels realistic to me - gay dating is like everything else in life: hard fucking work!!! The comedic timing and writing was very good, in particular the character writing is excellent. You get a very strong sense of who these people are and their quirks from very short encounters with them. The use of the gaming engine for comedy was also really well done, like a character's name changing to "guy who orders drinks like an asshole". The ending was super cute :)
This is such a rich story and world with inspired visual presentation. The backgrounds are stunning and create an incredible atmosphere, and there's really interesting design choices that elevate the storytelling (like the flashback sprites being on the left of the sceen).
This is clearly a world and story that asks to be engaged with again and again, and I can already see how multiple playthroughs will add more and more meaning to these characters.
I think this exploration of pain and the way it influences sexuality, among other things, was really, really poignant.
This was so much fun and really awesome!!! I loved it! It actually made me laugh at several points, the visuals are great and really comfy. I loved the mixed media aesthetic and the gender stuff was very relatable to me. <3
I can see that the rules for the jam don't outline the policy on NSFW/erotica works. The closest I can find is 'any type of game or work of fiction you can submit to itchio!' which would include nsfw, but I just want to double check first that it is allowed (with appropriate warnings ofc).
