I loved pretty much everything about this entry, specially the graphics, the characters and the dialogs. However, I must say I'm not a fan of the UI. Still, I really enjoyed playing it and you did an amazing work!
Okay. I loved this. This was amusing and I found the horror to be both subtle and ever-present at the same time. I loved how at the end of every scenario, there would be a flashback telling us what happened. This was genuinely a fun game to play, and it definitely reminded me of some of the older edutainment games I'd play as a kid. Very nostalgic. My favorite part, of course, was the giant rave going on in one of the scenarios. I legit took my time there just to hear the music for more than a few minutes.
Like Hawk, I also encountered the bug where the game freezes because I didn't do the bonus hunt. But that was the only thing I can say that isn't positive. Good job, and thank you for making such an enjoyable little gem.
I actually really enjoy games like this, where it's a little bit of breaking the 4th wall, and has interesting characters. The ones in this were really neat and quite well-written. I liked the exposition at the end kind of wrapping it all up. I would say, if this were to be a longer game, I would have preferred to uncover the lore myself as I'm playing the game. Also, the UI (even if it was a joke at the end) was kind of annoying. I would have preferred the inventory at the TOP of the screen, away from stuff on the ground and the characters.
Also: if you beat the game without doing the extra hunt, it bugs out and freezes.
This was a lot of fun to play. The biggest thing I loved was the art style you did. Didn't have any trouble with the game.
This was a delight to play! Really loved the artstyle you've chosen and everything was pretty straight forward and easy to understand! Sadly the game froze when their bandit brother came and I couldn't see the ending of the game but this was a lot of fun! Even collecting all the spiders!
Well done! :D
