So good! The dithering effects and animations are amazing! Nice work

Submitted

Damn, that's a deep game. Also, those dithering animations are so cool.

Such a distinct and unique art style (I wish I can do pixel art this awesome). The story is also great, feeling like an cool adventure in a very unique setting as well. The game is pretty long too, so bad roll can really really hurt (either lost crewmate or a game over), I guess it is to depict the difficulty of the journey? but it does feel quite horrible, the game is quite long too so it can take a bit to get back to where you want (at least the random events do spice things up a bit).
The writing is great as well. I had a fun time with it

This is amazing, the art, music, story, sound effects. I'm impressed with the amount of polish in a 7 day game jam, great work all around!

For sure, the game with the best soundtrack I have played. I never really played this story games, but I was really into it. Almost made it with my whole crew the second time around, but ended up losing one to the winds. I just have a question, what does gaining the favor of one of the "teams" do? I gained all 3, and it didn't seam to make a difference. Also, the end was a bit anti-climatic.

Hey thanks for playing! Did you play the full downloaded verison? There is a full ending finale! Depending on if a faction has your favor or not it completely changes it! Lmk what you think of the ending and hopefully its less anti-climatic.

What a fascinating game! Right off the bat, the art-style is incredible. The pixel art, the color palette, dithering, and the lore just gives it a strong, psychedelic feeling. I also just love text rpgs and it's great seeing one presented in this format with such a high degree of polish.

Really like the style and execution on this one!

Whoa what a journey!! Not sure how many outcomes there are, but loved the one I got (thank you turkey friends). The writing & art were really on point and there was a really nice balance of silly and evocative and creepy vibes. Great work!!

Developer

Hey, thank you for playing it through until the end! Really appreciate the kind words.

Super solid entry! Art is brilliant! The writing is funny (and at times genuinely pretty interesting). Didn't get round to finishing it, but it's absolutely one of my favourite games of the jam so far.
