An interesting experience.

I got the idea, I got the message I got the story.

But there is a lack of implementation, it's even a shame.

Especially the audio part. The music just drives you crazy with its DING-DING.

And that cartoon drowning sound really made me laugh, even though the scene should be very serious.

Also, showing lore through three paragraphs of text is very unpleasant and scares the player away.

Well, and a few bugs. For example, that I was not allowed to take money from the table for a long time, and then suddenly they allowed me, although nothing had changed., and I managed to poison the Holy Father, and at the same moment he caught me.

I see how much work and passion has been put into this game, and I really wish I could rate it higher.

Very cool take on "Bloom!" The item pick ups are very hard to see and the music drove me a little crazy but the presentation was quite good otherwise. Neat story as well.

Excellent job. Story and art were great. The gameplay itself was a little bit slow, and finding coins was tough at first like others mentioned, but it really was unique. Good job!

Beautiful art and game, and great music. It was fun to play through, but it was a little confusing at first. Some basic UX things were pretty distracting, like hovering the two menus accidentally when nearing edge of the screen. Also exiting right into another scene exiting right seems like it could have been easily avoided.

I really enjoyed this. Unique take, clever game and standout artwork. Well done!

Wow, actual good plot! A well written and intriguing story, and a very creative take on the theme as well! A lovely, short adventure game.

What should I do in church?

Observe the priest and see what your notes say about him (check your inventory).
