Amazing art. I loved how it looked. To add to the game feel you could try better use of sounds - for example when hovering over the diary entries having a scribble sound effect would add to the whole hand drawn art vibe. Great job!
Thanks you for your valued feedback! Yeah it was initially planned to have more sound effects but we ran out of time :(
Maybe on a post-jam release ;)
A little introspective on the matter of art and an artist struggling on making art. It would fit into a interactive experience more than a game (though that is very debatable in itself)
I quite like the theme in itself, though I think a lot of the thing that happens is quite random (you choose and see a scene), not a lot of player agency there - but I guess irl you can't really what is gonna happen next anw.
My complaints are mostly with the music:
1. when starting the game there is almost no music
2. sometimes the music got cut off after each scene, maybe have it play through the entire game may have been better?
Thank you for your in-depth review ! Glad you appreciated the narrative/interactive experience aspects !
We take notes of your advice about music :)
I like the art, you make a nice work with this one and take a little deepening about the art, that's so philosophical. I like it, congrats ;)
Thank you ! We put a lot of heart into the art direction it means a lot to hear you enjoyed it !
A lovely little visual novelette that leaves you in a slightly melancholic yet hopeful mood. Good job!
Thank you so much for your review ! Glad you like it ! Feel free to pay Le Jardin Clos our other game :)
It took me time to understand that the strory had in fact a branched narrative and you had to choose what to do during the day. Globally i'm not really satisfied with the narration, the project seems unfinished (got a blank diary on saturday twice). Good submission though, i know this kind of media is not easy to produce and i enjoyed some visuals / narratives.
Thank you for your review. We encountered a lot of bugs and thankfully we managed to fix most of them in time ! You should be able to play the game until the end now. Glad you enjoyed the visuals & narratives !
I did and the experience was way more enjoyable ! The bit of music added is really welcomed too.
ps : The animations on the diary is still glitchy, the mouse detection is innacurate.
So grateful you actually took the time to play it again ! Thank you !!
ps : indeed ! thanks for noticing
i thought it looked nice and i can see the theme of risk in the story! The further I got, the less i saw or the more bugs i think? what is NCREAFLOODQ
Thank you ! We're really glad you were able to feel the connection with the theme :)
We faced a lot of bugs and thankfully we managed to fix most of them now ! You should able to play the game until the end now !
The interactive novel aspect is an interesting game loop. I couldn't get to the end of the game though -- somehow I got stuck after reading the journal/planner and could only click on the window/statue. I like the original game art!
Thank your for your review ! We're so proud you liked the art !
We encountered several bugs. We fixed most of them now thanks ! You should be able to play the game to its end :)
Such an incredibly beautiful game. And, as a big Camus fan, I enjoyed seeing Sisyphus at the museum.
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you got this special reference :)
