Stuck In A Loop - A visual novel that totally mentions the theme at least once. by Fiquem

[raw]
made by Fiquem for Ludum Dare 47 (COMPO)

I wanted to make something fairly simple with the goal of just learning some tools and hopefully ending with something that has a beginning/middle/end. I think I managed!

This is a simple visual novel created using Ren'Py. There are multiple endings which, hopefully, aren't too awkward to find! This is my first finished game baby and I had fun making it, so I hope someone else can get a smile out of it too!

:D

EDIT: I figured out how to build for web in Ren'Py so you can now play in browser! Hope this makes it easier for everyone!

@terabyte Thank you! I agree. I wanted to add music, but I have never made music before and I didn't have time to learn ^^' I will try in my next game! :D

Thank you everyone for the nice comments!!!

I think I didn't make it clear (at all..) what you need to do to see other endings, so I'll say here - try going to class a few times and skipping class a few times to see the other endings. :sweat_smile:

Congrats on your first ever "game baby", it is a cute one! Bonus points for the hand-drawn art. I have also finished on ending 3/6.

I didn't realize RenPy can export to web, very cool!

Nice entry! A music would be a very cool add! Anyway, I loved the game overall, and the fact that it has many endings! Good job!

Nicely done ! I got ending 4/6. If you don't mind, I have a question, am curious : every single time I could, I picked "maths", cause I like maths... does it do anything ?

Quite funny and endearing artstyle. A bit of sound would go a long way! I got ending 6/6.

Well done, it was lots of fun!

Funny game! I saw the misunderstood friendship ending, appease ending, and death ending. Not sure how I'd go about getting the other ones. I normally don't like visual novels but that was fun. Good job!

@masaru Thank you! Actually I wanted to add in different events for taking different classes but I couldn't think of any good ideas in time, so at the moment every class leads to the same result - you learn something which helps you get a different ending ^_^
