I love the artwork, the music fits well.
I like that you are fighting for both sides in this war. The story was nice and multiple endings a nice touch.
I appreciated the ending hints, I didn't guess the second one.

Cool! A very small but bright game, with three endings. The opportunity to play as the main monster)) In fact, it feels great, the game is short but essentially finished, yes, of course I would like more levels, the development of the story, but in 3 days it turned out to realize the whole idea, it's cool cool art and sound, epic music goes perfectly with the narrative)

Power like that... and invincible!
So many years of suffering for their war, for the two enemy camps... there'd have to be a fourth end to have peace!... EXTREME!!!

Sorry... but seriously, I loved the story, the game and the atmosphere. Well done!

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! I had a lot of fun discovering the various endings 😊 It was very satisfying to turn around and get the good ending after being summoned back and forth a couple times.

Hey guys! Your game is really the game! You know, there are a lot of interactive films with high budget and years of development. But playing them I didn't feel I really have a choice. But in your game made in 3 days I do!
First, I didn't read the rules and I played like I'm really this monster that just entirely sommoned by 2 mages and can't finish this. But than I understood that I have to find how to escape this. And I quickly find 3 ends. But that was really fun!

Thank you guys for this game!

To be fair I liked all the endings, figured out the first one 2nd minute in (3rd respawn) and I found it quite clever!
