I had to use task manager to kill the downloaded version
I wasn't sure how an oujia game could work but it made for such an amazing experience!
The atmosphere is on point. I love the chill vibes combined with the banter of the characters!
I also love how many different options are. I haven't tried them all but it was still impressive how much different dialogue options were!
Overall an amazing game and one of my favorites from this jam.
An amazing experience, @namnam !
Nice work!
Only thing that would make it more immersive would be to have the fingers places on the marker when you can make an anser, but that have massive ux implications :P
The game ended immediately after pointing out a killer (I tried two characters), which was a shame. I felt things had just started to get really interesting, but I get that you only have limited time in a jam.
The art looks good, you have a nice palette and I like the distinct colors/design of the hands. The music is chill.
Overall, great work!

I enjoyed being able to experience the game both in french and in english. The french version had a few typos, but these things happen in the rush of a JAM ;)
I couldn't understand the controls much at first, like we needed to bring the planchette to YES to end our word. Maybe there could be an UI button for that?
Controls are my only critique. Fun game!
I just had some trouble writing my name, I kinda had a random r inserted in it haha
little bit more humanlike speech voices would be just pure honey for the experience. Great job!
Very nice introduction, it makes you want play the game. Mood is amazing, and when the story starts to be very interesting... it ends. Frustrating but if we want more it is because it was good :) Maybe you could continue the story and do a post jam version.
The concept is so good and the experience very smooth
Love it !
That was fun, and goofy. Graphics are nice. I misspelled John wrong 5 times trying use the board for some odd reason.
"YES"
Haha I laughed so hard at this. Man, this game is SO good. So simple, but it keeps you going. I really want to talk more and more. It's atmospheric but humorous at the same time. Good job on all fronts: Mood, music, graphics, enjoyable gameplay.
I always try to give some negative feedback to make room for improvements, but I couldn't really find anything.
I was wondering, did you use a tool for branching dialogue (like Twine or Ink) or did you make it by yourself?
Only thing I could complain about was that it was weird to move back and forth the marker if I wanted to say yes (or no) twice in a row.
Really clean work, just sad it had to end ;'(
Was really fun
:laughing: lul at how the name can influence the texts

P.S. The download version didn't work; the dialogue just never started playing, so I had to play the web version. Thankfully that wasn't much of a problem!
