A great game with a very unique concept and great interpretation of the theme! I really enjoyed the narrative direction of the game. It was also a very relaxing experience which is a nice change of pace. And multiple endings are also a nice touch. Great work!
what a unique concept 😮 i loved all the quirky choices and narratives given to me like owning 12 chickens in a studio apartment. only feedback i can think of is when a question isn't a yes/no question, i'm not sure which button leads me to which choices, but other than that i loved the journey that this game took me on. amazing job!!
I love the concept! It's original and I'd love to play an even longer version, with more events and stuff! The narrative is beautiful. The only thing that seems weird but funny is the chart going off screen for my human haha. Great job!!!!
I had the bug that you mentioned but we have a similar one soo I feel your pain. It was so artistic. I really like this game, it has deep meanings for sure. Good job!
Thanks! I really like your game too!
Excellent entry! Excellent text, interesting and funny choices I didn't quite understand, is it intended that the arrow goes beyond the horizon on a person?
Thanks!
Thanks!! For the graph I think it was funny at the beginning to go off charts but I think I'll set a limit since it doesn't make a lot of sense when it goes off-screen :D
Man this game is sooo warm, It felt like hug, So deep it was. Really recommending it to my peeps. Criminally underrated.
Thank you!! <3
it's very ominous and reflexive. I really like its vibes and its narrative focus. However I find some bugs with the graphs and that were some cards that aren't answerable only using yes/no, they can be misunderstood.
Thanks!!
And yes it started with a slightly different ideas in mind but I made it in almost 1 day (no time for the jam but wanted to make something anyway!) and needed to re-write again all the cards so I might have missed a few. I'll fix it once it's finished!
Oh my, only 1 day? Sincerely it's really well done for only one day, hope after jam you will finish it and continue your ideas, in my case the first thing that we will do is add a tutorial to our game XD.
Yep I started woking on it the night between Saturday and Sunday 😅
I think your game with a tutorial would be perfect! But it's actually not too hard to understand and after a couple of rooms it become clear. I had a lot of fun with it!
It's a very mellow, relaxing game. Looks and sounds good. The writing is highly creative and compelling. But some of the questions aren't answerable using yes/no. I played until age 7000, but was unable to break the cycle. I saw the same questions coming up over and over, no matter what options I picked.
This game could be improved by adding more cards. Will you, yes or no?
Yes! :D
I didn't have much time for this jam and I had to rewrite some of the cards (the first idea was to have binary answers based on the question but then I realized with yes-no was quicker😅).
Sorry about the ending, if you manage to reach 10.000 with the enlightened (and be good) you break the cycle!
Excellent narrative, some cards were really deep! But with no real consequence, in the description you mentioned 6 lifeforms, but only played 3, idk if that was a bug or not, also played a lot of cards but couldn't break the loop 😓
Thanks! Yes there here are 6 but 2 are below the dog (insect and bacteria, with a bad ending), if you did good you only see 4!
I really like the overall mood of the game and the questions. I also like that isn't a objectively right or wrong answer for lots of cases.
The music is soothing, it's a very chill game. Using reincarnation as the loop was a creative usage of the theme.
I don't know if my playthrough bugged but I got to age 10000 with the enlightened being and then I couldn't select any more options. The cards were also repeating. I think I embraced the unrealized too hard lol
You broke the loop! With 10.000 years you completed the game with a good ending! Writing the cards took a lot of time so I have plenty for the human but less for the other form, I'll improve it!
This game is really cool!
I love the concept.
Just a few quick remarks:
1. from the questions it's not always clear what yes or no means, leading me to have a Yacht-yacht
2. Somehow i was soft-locked at 83 after befriending a pelican. His name is Bill. Short for Billiam. He is a gentleman after-all.
Bill is also nasty.
Thanks for the feedback!
It is buggy, but awesome. The music is amazing and the choices are wild. I have no idea who you are dude, but if you wrote them themselves you must be awesome
Fun game ! Really like the concept, and the music and art !
Thanks!!
didn't expect to get existential, i think i encountered the bug but enjoyed choosing the choice i hadn't before. left me feeling happy
Happy to hear that! Thank you for playing!
VERY fun game for being an A/B choice system! I did get (probably) too emotional at the dog loop 😩
😅 thanks!
Definitely high on the creative end. Music and graphics were on point. Some of the questions made no sense though. "You get a billion dollars. Do you buy a yacht or share it with the neighborhood?" You are then given the options of No and Yes. Overall enjoyable though.
Thanks!! Yes it started with a more complex idea in mind than just yes or no, and I forgot to update some of the questions in the rush 😅
Great concept. I like the choices, most are really easy to figure out what to do, maybe more dillemas ? Anyway, congrats !
Thanks! And also for the feedback, definitely need some balance and/or weird and difficult dilemmas.
Very intriguing and deep game, I loved the narrative!
Thank you!
This was enjoyable and the art was simple yet beautiful. The whole play through was relaxing.. until I reached as a 10000 year old enlightened being ahah
Good job!
:D
Bad game dog dies :(
Jk, Love the background music the art and the simplicity. The graph went off screen for me so I'm not sure where I ended up as a human. Also at 88 I didn't get any more questions, Is that the end or should I have reincarnated as something else?
There are 6 levels of reincarnations, from bacteria to enlightened being, there must have been some bug I'm really sorry about that! Hope you had some fun anyway :D
