The atmosphere from art to audio is amazing. The game is fun too. The faces mechanic changes things up a bit. Very well done!

Waaaa, my favourite game in the Jam so far—maybe even my favourite game of the year! Horror games are usually not my thing, but I was completely intrigued by this one. The mechanics are fantastic. I love them so much!

That so nice ^^;**** thank you thank you! I always love compliments from non-horror fans! I believe there’s a bit of horror everyone can enjoy.

Incredible game and an even more incredible entry for a jam! I saw you made other horror games and it shows, you really nailed the ambience! Great work with sounds and writing! Also I don't know how much complexity went into the AI but it works well! Great job!

I loved the different eggs mechanics and the usable items, they were simple but added a nice layer of strategy. I'm one of the many that thought of Inscryption while playing it, but I think being compared to that masterpiece is a great accomplishment!

The Inscryption comparison always makes me happy ^^, thank you so much! I’m just the artist so I can’t speak for the coding but, Eiermann did spring out of my head and I really appreciate the love for the horror ambiance, writing, and sounds. Fun fact: the humming Eiermann does during the player’s turn is actually me, pitch shifted!

Fun story about the AI: I worked out statistics for each possible number. The AI also pays attention to what mask is next for the player. It assigns each number a score value based on those things. It then chooses the roll with the best score. Funny thing is the AI has some bugs so it doesn't pick the best score sometimes. I managed to fix the bugs, but then it felt too hard. The fixed version is now hard-boiled difficulty and the bugged one is normal haha.

I think what bugs you're referring too and I thought it was intentional for the normal difficulty so it works xD

Also I saw you had insane final results, all deserved, great job to both of you!

The reveal that we're an egg was really damn funny, really adds to the absurdity of the game. I don't really like RNG-based mechanics, sometimes you can kinda just fail even though you did everything else right. However, the items in this game can help prevent that from happening, it's too bad you can only use them once, maybe regaining the items in a risk vs reward challenge would be fair? The achievements were a really nice incentive to replay the game, I managed to beat the game on hard boiled but I couldn't get the ones where you can't lose a single round and not using any items.

Thank you so much for playing!! Yes, RNG was something we worried would frustrate people. In the amount of time we had I think we manage to balance it out pretty well. But we really want to implement more mask/items after the jam. 

Reply
THE_T_V1RUSDeveloper51 days ago

I really wanted the player to be presented with 3 items after each round and they choose one to keep. We only had time for 2 items though. We will for sure explore more ways to add strategy and remove the RNG frustration. Thanks so much for the feedback!
