[raw]
made by i_am_lloric for Ludum Dare 52 (COMPO)

Dr Frank has a dream.

He wishes to go on holiday, but he lacks the funds to do so.

Luckily, the people need his services.

Build them monstrosities and earn shillings so you can reach the beach!

As a programmer, I relate to Dr Frank to an oddly high degree! :sweat_smile:

It's a cool idea! I managed to get the doctor to the beach! :stuck_out_tongue:

I laughed at the texts a few times, buuut having to read them all the time seems not perfect (perhaps because it's 4 AM :sweat_smile:). I'm thinking, maybe you could highlight the important keywords? Or alternatively, give the player some corpses and they can utilize all their organs over multiple requests. This way the player will get to know your corpses, and they wouldn't need to reread text, plus there might be some decisions about what to use when, if they know they can use it later for something that's a better fit. :shrug:

Anyway, good job!

I think the game has great idea and the text descriptions of the requests and dead bodys are interesting.

I don't quite understand the relationship between descriptions and scores (maybe because I'm not a native English speaker) and I lose money nearly every time :sob:.

And, I can't hear any audio, is this normal?

Thanks for playing my game :)
I was running out of time and wasn't able to get sounds or music into the game, sadly.

What a spooky game! I appreciate the innovation of the idea. I'm glad there's lots of content there, but I wasn't able to make it past 4 requests. I was also pretty bad I guess at understanding what the stories meant in terms of organ-goodness. My first three I picked carefully and lost money each time. My last one I picked randomly and got 100 shillings lol!
