I got stuck in the forest after summoning the second ally! But that's me playing RPGs. Nicely done, really liked the music and the art. The level desing and props were super good as well, good job!

This was a nice quick game to play in my morning before work.

First issue that stood out to me, both in the game and in the "capsule" image, was the different scaling on the graphics. Specifically zombies look weird compared to the other characters because they seem to have a higher pixel density. Hopefully I'm explaining the problem correctly -- I think the all the art looked fine here, even the zombies, it was just when put together the zombies stood out as inconsistent.

The items you have to fetch were very unique. I particularly loved the "hair of an illegitimate lover".

There were varied locations that make sense. Asset placement seemed good. I did breeze right through a lot of it. In the tavern I was able to interact with a lot of stuff which was neat. It was very obvious where to get all the items, except for the dead lovers ring. It's was maybe a little obvious -- when I went to the farm I breezed right through to the barn and didn't talk to anyone else. Not sure how they feel about some strange man running in and stealing their eggs.

I got a little stuck trying to find the ring. The church was deserted and I wasn't sure if I had sequence breaked the game by going to the tavern first. I expected to find a glowy thing like I did in the previous locations but it was missing. I left to see if I was supposed to go elsewhere but the zombies got me. Thankfully it was very forgiving so I went back to the church.

I started digging around the graves and then the creepy guy at the church spooked me. He helped me out, but with all his talks about desecration and heretics he had a weird vibe. Which I loved! He was my favorite character.

All of the writing seemed pretty good. Some of the characters writing was a bit stiff, especially in the post-zombie tavern scene. There were a lot of characters and some of them stood out. I was disappointment when I couldn't find the creepy church guy at the tavern, but he didn't seem like the revelry type.

A game that takes me right back to the beginning of the millennium. It also has some very funny designs hidden in it. I love it, and I have to say, the soundtrack is great!

Well, what seemed like a bad day for Armin at first, ended up with a great feast! I liked the story: it reminded me of a crazy d&d campaign: a bit weird, but funny.

I also like that the game is quite forgiving. I may have hugged a zombie once or twice... And there is freedom to explore, even though the world is not too big, it's perfect size for game jam.

Great job! Good luck with your future projects!

It's really pretty and you've created a good RPG atmosphere. I quickly immersed myself in this world, it's been a long time since I played an RPG. I was happy to discover the menu for items, equipment and so on at the start of the game... a little disappointed that it wasn't useful.

Thanks for this adventure!

Nice game! I really like that you can interact with stuff that aren't relevant to the story, like the cat, it was super fun!

Cool story and characters. The dialogues made me feel nostalgic and reminded me of Tales of Phantasia. Grats!

Cute game! Loved petting the cat. It would have been nice to have more decision-making or puzzles - I mostly felt like I was following a predetermined path. The end scene had strong Stardew Valley vibes, which I enjoyed.

I shook down chicken, and got insulted by a cat, all in a days work ;)

Like seemingly everyone else here, at the end of the game I went to pet the cat and was pleased. Very polished short rpg. Though the gameplay itself was pretty simple, the dialogue and vibes were enough to keep me engaged and wanting more by the end!

Wow I loved to play this simple quest. Reminds me the style of Finding Paradise which is my most favorite game. I liked the ending that it was not just "yey you finished quest!", but actually there was a big party ;).

And the piano had nice sound xD.

nice fast paced movement, very retro zelda feel to it. there's some buildings where the player can walk onto the walls. but smooth game nonetheless.
