I made a video of your game. It's at the 10:24 mark of this video.
Thank you for your time! We hope you enjoyed playing through the demo!
Hmmm not to shame here, but if you join a group which is rumored to be a cult... It is probably a cult :) Well to be fair to Sel, they did seem all pretty nice, by the looks of it, it's a pleasant community, I'd consider joining 100%.
Ok but actual feedback; Sadly, the act 1 is short, which is fair, this is a week long game jam and RPG maker games are surprisingly heavy to do in such time, but that is just to say I did wish there was more of it. Cliffhanger and all of course, but with the short time I already got pretty into the characters and plot set ups here. Visually it was also really pleasant, even though I'd always wish for more SFX and sounds in general, you guys already have pretty good amount of really nice music tracks here. So I think all of this can be summed up to, great work, hope you continue this forward all the way to the end!
Hmmmmmmmmm... Clearly evil cult is actually secretly evil??? Who would have guessed? In all seriousness, thank you very much for your feedback! Unfortunately, it's quite true that Act I is lamentably short, which is something we hope to expand on in the coming updates. Even so, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed our work!
Really interesting Act One of what I am assuming is a full game. I love love RPG Maker games. They are genuinely where I get at least 80% of my inspiration from because they always have such cool and unique concepts, and this is definitely one of them. I love this weird religious sect we seem to be following here, and our characters appear to be named after religious figures. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Haibane Renmei, except this place seems to be much more outwardly religious. I am very curious how it will turn out. I think the art style is pretty cute too.
Some bugs I noticed:
Thank you for your feedback!
There is a fixed version which will be uploaded after the game jam ends to avoid any problems.
Great character artwork and excellent sound design. The story builds well and has strong atmosphere. Ending on a cliffhanger... yeah deadlines are annoying, but now I want to see more!
My only critique: the game forces players to do things in a specific order. A bit more flexibility in how players can approach objectives would be nicer.
Thank you for playing our game and giving us feedback!
It's mainly a story-based game, so we didn't really consider making the quests feel more flexible, but we will try to improve it in the continuation.
Good game! I love the RPG Maker aesthetic.
Please consider playing my game too; I'm looking forward to your feedback!
I looooved the build up to the dread. Worked wonders for the eventual payoff. Sound design was also incredible. Looking forward to eventual part 2 in the future!
Thank you!!! We're glad to hear you enjoyed it! Keep an eye out for Act II, we're planning on releasing it (hopefully soon)!
Very fun! I'm looking forward to the rest! The character designs are all very charming.
Thank you very much! We are happy to hear that you had fun with our game^
