Chechik’s Grand Magical Forest Adventure by Starexplorer

made by Starexplorer for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

You are playing as young Chechik - a promising druid/summoner at the very start of his journey to become a good wizard. The point of the game is to traverse through magical forest, meet its inhabitants, learn new spells and help the forest thrive.

THE OBJECTIVE: LEARN ALL 4 SUMMONING SPELLS!

P.S We did not have time to write a lot of random events, so they repeat themselves quite often. Other than these random events you will get into 4 different story lines (that are like 10+ cards) Who would have thought that writing a TEXT based game would be so hard, huh?

There IS an endgame screen when you learn the last spell.

You do not need a keyboard to play the game. The game is point and click.

To play the game you just need to chose either left or right arrow and watch whatever will happen to you and Chechik.

To play the game in a browser, use the link provided!

Bugfixes: At the moment of posting the game and an hour or so there were tons of fixes we did that were not caught in the testing. The game SHOULD be working fine now.

I liked the idea, I would like to see how you will shape the game in the future.

The main thing that felt off to me was that when you click an option, your mouse is already highlighting an option for the _next_ choice - so you end up reading that before you actually see what the choice is, making the transition feel a bit clunky. Cool that you put together a system and loaded it up with a lot of content like this though, nice job.

Can the frog be summoned somewhere ? I got the ending screen when I gained it.
Fascinating story, especially the ant battle and the frog.
Only two things are bothering me : when there is a lot of text it appears too small
and there is no ambient music, which would elevate this game to an even higher level.

Unfortunately, the game is not interesting to play, the gameplay is too basic, and there is no necessary atmosphere with good sound and visual effects

Phew. Too bad I can barely read English. But it's a pretty interesting story. At least the beginning. I reconciled the ants and went through the cave to the tower.

A text-based adventure is not what I'd expect these days. I managed heal the fox a couple of times in different ways, to get the ants to be friends again and went in the castle a couple of times, but found nothing interesting there.

I got the same random even a couple of times in a row, you should make it so that doesn't happen.

I really liked this idea a lot. It reminded me of those old-school text adventures but with a cozy, magical twist. The story and choices kept me curious to see what would happen next, and I liked the humor and light tone. I ran into a few repeating events, but it was still fun trying out different paths and seeing the small details change. Some music or light forest sounds would make it even more immersive, but overall it’s a charming and creative entry.

Definitely a unique take on the theme and great execution, though it would be nice to have some sound effects or music. Still liked the story!
