It's a bit tedious to move around and talk to everyone, and there is an issue where it seems like pressing enter makes you talk to the last person you bumped into, even if they are on the other side of the map. The art is simple but functional. The music is thoughtful and matches the mood, but sounds a bit too basic - would have been good to build on the theme a little more. Some sound effects for the dialogue would have been a nice touch. The writing could have been a little more engaging - there are a couple thoughtful remarks, but it's mostly forgettable, which is not good in a dialogue-driven game like this.
I played through once, but I didn't experience enough challenge or emotional resonance to care to try and get each ending, especially with the time a single playthrough takes.
uses a very similar one, cat with frog head. Is this a thing?
@everyone, thanks for the feedback. I agree with all the critique, and I know this "game" is lacks the necessary depth. Better luck next time!
Apart from the strong life lesson the game could still be more fun but it was a very nice and atmospheric experience.
Very nice mood and music!
