Yes - I'm new to game jams!
How does your game fit the theme?
It's like, you're getting into a new hobby. Except it's rituals, and you're overscoping. :)

The animated cutscenes were SOOOO good, and absolutely hilarious! And I love the design of the demon and how well you animated it changing between forms.
But umm.. the game seemed to not be working? When I started it said I could attack but nothing in the room was attackable and there wasn't any way to leave. My inventory was also always empty and I couldn't interact with any objects except the feeding altar. And then even though it said to feed berries I had no option to select what to feed. Clicking on all the items did nothing, WASD and arrow keys did nothing. I could just select Feed and the game decided I'd chosen the meat item and gave me the bad ending.
I feel like this probably isn't the intended gameplay, so could I ask for help on what to do? - Bonnford
Ok I managed to figure out the problem! There's no marked door in the first room but if you randomly bump into all the walls you'll eventually find where it is. (Middle of bottom wall)
Then I played through all the fights and fed all the ingredients in the right order and.... got the same ending! I guess there's no option except "the demon destroys the world", lol? I feel that's a pretty creative interpretation of the theme! The wizard's problem is they refused to "just get started", they jumped into a really big ambitious project as their first idea instead of starting small. So they're always doomed to failure.
Still, I'd recommend adding the same shadow graphic to the first door that all of the others have. It'd be really helpful in making sure players can experience the full game. Gonna increase my rating now, yay! - Bonnford
oohhh, yea, I thought about adding something to hint at the door but I never got around to it, unfortunately. I'm really sorry about that. And I also guess the logic for letting you feed it is wrong, oops. But thanks for playing my game!!! :DDDD sorry it's so buggy haha.
Crazy how you managed to make full on animated cutscenes within ten days, and theyre entertaining as well! Also having a visual/audio feedback for clicking buttons would be great as it helps with letting the players know that their inputs are registered. Also the looking up the tutorial with a phone was pretty funny. All in all a nice little experience. Congrats in your first game jam entry! Hopefully more to come! :)
Ey, thanks for playing my game! I think the game needs more feedback in general, and not just with the buttons. I was too busy making those darned cutscenes that by the time I got around to sound and polish it was the last day, oops. As for the cutscenes, the simple artstyle allowed me to churn out a lot of stuff in a short time. Although, they still took a while because I had completely remade the ending cutscene (which kind of explains the dip in quality). But, yea, thanks for playing my game :DDDDD
hello! Good job on making your first game!
I really enjoyed the cutscenes and the art in general.
I did run into this issue where after the game started and I was teleported to the next place I returned to the room to see if I missed something and then I couldn't go back. I tried running the game again, but I was just not teleported to the next place like I did originally.
I was still able to feed the creature and reach the finish I'm not sure if that's intentional or not
keep making games!
Oohhh yea that glitch. I'm sorry you had to encounter that lol. I don't really know what's causing it and didn't have enough time to figure it out, unfortunately. But thanks for playing my game!!! :DDDDDD
