Whoa, this is a really good entry! I like the take on theme, the visuals are nice, the audio is good. Chester & Spinner are a serious combo! Excellent Work!

Submitted

Very appealing art and fun writing. Would've been nice to have some more sound effects, but the randomized choices concept was pretty interesting. The game also did bug out quite often when I tried to respin a choice and instead made a choice for me. But overall, pretty great and charming visual novel!

Submitted

Really well put together visual novel, I had a really fun time playing! The art style was really good and the story was pretty funny!! Only thing I was is that there was more visual feedback for the wheel spin although I can understand why there wasn't with all the art you had to do!! Well done <3

Submitted

Really funny story! I think the art was great and the audio was added in the right places. Only thing I'd really want changed is for an actual wheel to be spun instead of just clicking on the dialogue options.

Submitted

Good work! I really like the character designs and art style. The story feels well-thought-out, too. I also appreciate the handy mid-game save feature!

Submitted

Cute game! Though I'm so unlucky that even with rerolls I kept getting the same bad option :(((. I'm glad at the end I got to finally choose the last option though. The story was nice and I like the art.

Submitted

Very nice short story! The art and music worked really well together and the characters had some good distinctive voices. I managed to only die when accusing the clowns (even with the rerolls) so I'm glad you added an easy mode! The ending was a bit of a bummer, but I enjoyed the ride, haha.

Metagame cog 99/126 (I can understand why you didn't manage to get the code working though, considering this was done in Ren'Py)

tysm!! :D

argh I tried everything w the metagame code but I think it would only work on older versions weirdly enough >_<

Hey !
I loved playing through this short story. You created such a cool atmosphere with the art, especially the real photos. The characters were all unique, and the music tied everything together!

Submitted

OOOOO i love this!!!! i really like the characthers and its so interesting!!!, maybe a little light on the theme usage, but i really liked everything about it!

Submitted

A really good story game. I like the art too.

Submitted

The writing was really good. I liked the different music and the real pictures as backgrounds (even though I saw a getty images logo on one of them). 

Submitted

Everything about this short story is amazing! I really enjoyed the music, characters, audio, art style, etc! Especially the killer fairy's simplistic yet creepy design. Though for the spinning theme, It'd be nice to have an actual wheel spin instead of being given a randomized text option. Other than that this was a great experience!

Hey! I really enjoyed this interactive story - I have to admit though, the way it plays out with the spinner mechanic, I couldn't tell if there was any actual RNG or if it was just the illusion of RNG and that I was more reading than playing, if that makes sense! Still, I enjoyed it, and you have a funny narrative voice (I especially like the mime). :)

Submitted

I must have very bad luck because I died so many times that I eventually got the option to simply pick the answer to survive (I assume that happens if you die too much from RNG). At least dialogue from said deaths were funny (I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe Spinner had a point...).

Unfortunately the metagame appears to be bugged as it didn't fire for me even though I survived the day, but I'm still glad I played it.

Submitted

I really really loved it!!!

The spin mechanic is so creative, made me really interested. Sometimes spinning again would work, but I was happy to see Spinner :DDDD The art styles is incredible and the script is really funny, I laughed a lot of time.

Congrats, very cool game I liked it a lot
