Gotta say the effect with the boss slowly looming in was pretty cool - I had originally been leaning back in my chair when playing so it blended in at the start, so seeing it metaphorically jump out staring at me when I sat up was pretty spookily effective. Could use with some more feedback on the boss - I could tell I was doing something but wasn't really sure if I was doing the right thing, if that makes sense? Like, I knew clicking on the boss worked, but I wasn't sure if it was something I had to mash, or like try to find something to interact with, or if there was some kind of pattern I needed to follow. I did instinctually mash, it just took a lot more than I was initially expecting so I started doubting. It also sounds like the audio peaks and gets way louder than the rest of the game right when you beat it.

The character design and art was quite good, and I think the idea of having to balance out the political side of being a princess with also being what sounds like a war general/WMD is usually an interesting dynamic to balance, so I'd definitely be into seeing more of how that gets handled.

Just to start with... 

IT'S NOT A VIRUS PEOPLE ITS SAFE TO DOWNLOAD! 

You may need to figure out why it flags it as bad for itch io and windows defender because its scaring people off from trying your game! 

The game itself has nice art and dialogue but it seems unfinished? I got to the battle and could do anything! I also had a glitch where one of the dialogue options would not proceed. But good effort and hope to see it finished :)

I didn't realize it was showing as a virus. I run Linux on my main system and not Windows so I couldn't check up I will work on it.

I'll go back soon and test it on an a Windows system. Originally it was supposed to be a web game but it would error out in web.
So I'll go back and work those out. Thank you VERY much for letting me know about that!

As for finishing it, it'll be up to the availability of the character artist.

I think someone said it might be triggering just because it's a single exe file... I have no idea myself but thought to just try it anyway 🤣

Godot gives the option to have the pack file into a single exe file.
I do that by default since I thought it'd be easier to port and move around.
But not a great choice apparently for antivirus programs and allowing modding.
