Wow, what a great game! The atmosphere was so simple but really engaging, even simple touches like the rats squeaking when they brought the wizard's letter, or how the light from the matches really was necessary to find things in your cell! My favorite entry in the jam :)

What a way to tell a story! 
Best one I played so far. I broke the game somehow, but was intrigued enough to keep playing. SImply amazing to be honest. The only feedback is to maybe make some of those decisions even more impactful? (i thought that not banging on the door 2 times, made me lose the comrade route, but not sure). But it's a strech really as the game was great on it's own. Managed to finish it in the end. Rating it 10/5 :)
Is there a 2nd "good" ending? Would play it again if there is :)
Thank you so much!
We were pushed up against the deadline and delivered the build with 3 minutes to spare, so in spite of my best efforts a few bugs probably slipped through ;) We were only two people, so we were sweating!
There is only one good ending, haha. We thought that it would be funny that the most ridiculous choices being the only way to escape was the funniest.
Thanks again from both of us!
