Bakeneko no Ko by makkurataichou

[raw]
made by makkurataichou for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

You are a bakeneko - a demon cat - and you have found a human child in the land of the dead. Make choices and try to survive as you confront other yōkai on your journey.

This is a collaborative Twine - a certain number of players need to complete the game in order to reveal the true ending. Work together with other players to lead the child to safety!!

Hey love the artstyle and the story. A bit of sound fx and music would make it even more atmospheric. :)

Having this style of game play inspired by a theme that seems to have encouraged a lot of frantic, fast paced games is pretty refreshing. Thanks for the chill diversion, I hope more people play it so we can see the true end!

Great art, and cute story. I love the idea of the story's ending changing as Ludum Dare progresses. I also love that the messages are from other players. Good job!

This game made me quite tense. Loved the art and the story. Wanted to know more about the different demons and creatures throughout. Like a beastiary or something.

Really cool work!

Very interesting. I don’t know what happened exactly but it feels there’s something bigger and you’re only a part of it. It would be nice to get all the choices from all of the first half hundred players.

Very charming and interesting, although the lack of music and effects can be noticed u.u (I couldn't finish my Audio neither so I get you my dudes), hope to see it as a finished project.

Hope to see the real ending!
Art style is really excellent, which makes me deeply influenced! I will come back later.

Great story, great graphics! Really liked the twist at the end, I hope I'll be able to see true ending. The game is already very atmospheric just from story and art but some background music would make it even better.
Why does Tengu sell cucumbers though, if Tanuki runs the food shop?
