Well, a slightly less wooden boy. https://greebles.itch.io/love-verne I updated the game into a complete experience but also was able to leave the original intact! You can choose either version from the title screen.

Updates:

The game guides you on how to play (TUTORIAL?!?)

FERN now has a healthbar too! (You won't die, but it ups the difficulty)

Better dialogue system, more words!

PAUSE BUTTON!

Descriptions have been moved to the top of the screen

More gags - Fishcat works!

Increased difficulty as you give Verne more things!

-As you feed Verne, he will panic randomly more and more often.

-The thumping game WILL GET FASTER.

SOUNDS!

A WIN STATE was added to complete the narrative.

Verne will turn off the things if he stops on them.

LESS BUGS! (Some still exist though. RAWR.)

If you have the time I'd appreciate a playthru and some feedback! Please don't rate the game unless you played the original, and only consider that one when judging my life-choices.

Also, SWAG BUTTON!
