It's such a joy to encounter adventure games like ours at the same jam. The opening animation sequence at the start was truly impressive. While I did feel the overall elements were a bit too grand, it was still satisfying enough to steal my soul. And then, being able to play an adventure game crafted with such meticulous care afterward was absolutely wonderful. From each speech bubble and standing pose to the adorable penguin-like animation of the chibi protagonist, there wasn't a single moment on screen that bored me. I sincerely hope your game achieves an excellent ranking.
The game concept looks pretty awesome! I hope you get to finish working on it one day.
The character artworks looks nice, but for the gameplay, after entering the second room there was seemingly nothing I could do, and most of the reading options at the library did not work. Is the game plainly unfinished?
I really liked the art style and the music! I am excited to see what the finished game looks like
Really cute game! Hope to see more of it!
Nice art style! The character looks sweet and adorable. The concept seems really promising, wishing you the best of luck with the game!
You know, if you keep making games like this, one day you might end up with a really big and interesting quest. I recommend checking out the game Creepy Tale. (As far as I remember, there are already several parts to this quest.) But you should like it! Well done!
thanks for the recommendation ! i've checked the game and definitely used it as one of my references
This is still in a rough form but the visual style is already really distinct - I'm excited to see what the full version looks like!
Would love to see what happens when the puzzle is finished! I'm a bit confused by the book options as not all of them are openable.
I'm so interested in learning more about the princess! Love the style and the item combining mechanic - I can't wait to see more!
Hehe, thanks for playing the game! we'll updated the game in the future, so stay tuned~
AHH! ONE OF THE CUTEST GAMES IN THE JAM FOR SURE! you guys cooked so hard with the art and style... i love it!!!!
Artist here, thank you so much ! i can't wait to finish the game TvT
I was drawn in by the cover art, the in-game portrait is cute.
Artist here,im glad u like it TvT drew it last minute and i hope to make better arts in the future!
Looking forward to seeing it finished ! Make a Devlog if the full version will be live !
A devlog is coming up, and we'll try to polish the game! although not brave enough to put it on live TvT
Beautiful story, rather than just horror-focused, I love the project that you made, it makes me want to learn how this girl lives her life alone. Pretty mystery.
Artist and Writer here, the story is supposed to have more horror elements TvT hope i could finished the updated ver soon
The art style is so pretty! I think I'm a bit stuck on what to do after getting the four items. The music and art style really do remind me of a lot of RPG Maker classics, but with a side-scroller view, and I think it has a lot of stylistic potential.
ty for playing, i rushed as much as possible and could not manage to get the puzzle fully in as well as some mechanics.
so unfortunately that's all there's right now. there would be an update with proper gameplay.
For sure! Can't wait for the updates, I'll be following up with this after the Game Jam!
Very cute game, the character design was very nice.
But the game is unfinished, sadly
Also, please rate VARIX Tower back <3
Very cute character and love how she pops up on item interaction, it's a nice touch.
Good game, the character is cute.
Thanks! hope you enjoyed it
what a cute game
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed it ^^
This seems like an intriguing story. Unfortunately, I got stuck quite early on & couldn't figure out how to move forward... 🤔
Hi,thanks for trying out the game! after few playtestings, we thought about revising the puzzles a bit. We'll activately updating the game, and our Mc still have more stories to unfold~ so stay tuned!
