Pretty cool! This game is clean and very enjoyable. I'd also like to say the base and the vibe of the game is so charming. I love it!
Good job! Congrats. :D
the idea of the game was really smart and interesting, and it felt preatty good in terms of game feel and sound effects. good job
Very unique concept that play well. I found it to be a tad too hard as I kept having to go to next year multiple times just to complete one card, other than that I really liked it and think it can be expanded upon, well done!
Great game. I loved the story telling through game mechanics. I got an error after finishing what I think was the last ritual. Either way, I had a lot of fun and thirst for more.
This was so clever! The rules and gameplay clicked almost immediately, which is always a good sign. Good job!
Great game with amazing atmosphere! The gameplay, plus all the rituals and search for forbidden knowledge remind me of Cultist simulator. I really like how the character is represented through the dice and how you need to adjust your tactics throughout different stages of the game.
It crashed after I filled the 100 point card, so I haven't seen the conclusion, but it might as well be an open-ended story :)
Unique and very funny game! The music is really fitting and the game itself is addictive asf, with some more card variety and maybe different dice colors I could see myself playing many runs
Such an interesting game, got hooked until I won haha, I probably think because its a card game and I just love them.
Top notch game, incredible work, probably my favourite of the jam, I love cult-card games so much, this thoroughly satisfied my thirst for them
I’m not sure why but once I got to the final stage (the 100 point card) I suddenly ran out of dice? Guess I wasn’t the only one. It was pretty neat up until that point though there didn’t feel like there was much choice to the matter, so I didn’t really feel the theme come through. I liked the concept and vibe all in all though, there’s a great moment when you suddenly realize your thirst is growing out of control and you panic and scramble to get that together which really sells the feeling of being a vampire, not that I’d know of course…….
so overall I think minus the bug stopping me this was really solid! :)
Glad you had fun! The original idea was that you had limited dice to invest and branching research paths so there was a lot more risk involved but due to limited time I opted to make it a bit simpler. About the dice not appearing, I'm trying to figure it out as well as it does not appear in my play testing at all! Could you tell me the scenario this happens in and when the game stopped giving you dice, did you still hear the dice sound or was it just silence when you clicked next life?
It was right after the 100 point card appeared, I’d click next turn, hear the sound of my thirsts injuring me, but not hear or see any dice.
This was a nice game and a pretty fun concept. I found myself playing it for a while. There were some issues though
With those bugs fixed, I think it can make a pretty good game with some brainstorming elements
Hey about the dice not appearing, did you still hear the sound effect of the die when it happened?
Nice game, very calm music and good sound effects. Took a little time for me to understand. The font is a bit hard to read. I often dragged the scene instead of the die and I at some point dice stopped appearing (same issue as Static Leap Studios). But cool nevertheless!
Hey could you tell me what happened before the dice stopped appearing? Looks like this is a rare issue and am trying to pinpoint it.
Not really sure, sorry. I just played the game and at one point it stopped giving dice. I could only click the next button...
Did you hear the dice sound even when it was not giving you dice?
Very cool game!
The only bug I got was when it was adding thirst cards every turn ( I forget what stage that was, but I needed 100 in one turn to progress ), the dice stopped showing up at all, so I lost.
The -life sound effect was a bit loud too.
Excellent work, I hope you continue this project!
Hey could you tell me what happened before the dice stopped appearing? Looks like this is a rare issue and am trying to pinpoint it.
it was right after filling the card that needed 3 6's, or when I ended that turn where I completed that one I believe
Really cool concept and very well done strategy game. I didn't feel stuck nor did the game feel unbalance. Very unique storytelling and was a lot of fun to go through!
I really loved the game and it's a very interesting concept! Although trying to get some objectives felt like an endless grind of completing my thirst cards and using the rest of the dice to summon more temporary ones, I feel like it's my own fault for not understanding what the game wanted me to do. Overall, a 10/10 experience and an extremely fun game, even with me being that dumb! :)
Yeah there is grind but there is a way to not grind as much as it seems. Like a strategy that I intended that I think not many people picked up on was you are not required to fill the thirst cards every turn you will only lose life If you don't fill them. So you can either gather a bunch of life at the start and focus completely on getting more temp dice or only fill half of them to not lose any life that turn.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I guess I got really tunnel visioned during my playthrough, so I'll probably revisit your game with this in mind in the future!
Really interesting Idea. The game mechanic was actually pretty unique and made you think and plan a lot. Well done!
Very Cool
Very enjoyable entry! I especially liked the storytelling through game mechanics, it was implemented in a very clever way. Everything was very solid, great work!
This is my kind of game!! It got really hard when i had to do the 100 with 5 thrist, really hard to manage which is the fun of it. Loved this game, well done!
This is a great game with, it could be released as a tabletop game too. Good stuff, keep it up! 👍
