How does the game fit the theme?
We have decided to turn the theme around from “Trust no one”, to “what would happen if no one trusts us”? How do we even trust the people around us if we know for certain when we are not trusted?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All Audio and fonts are 3rd party assets, all attributed within the Credits screen in game.

How many people worked on the game?

All falls to ruin eventually... I felt that. I like the setting and atmosphere. The art is nice, I would like to see more if this if you carry on with it..

Submitted

Beautifull artwork ! And to incarnate Cassandra for the Trust no One theme is really ironic and on the nose  ^^ Well done :)

Submitted

The game is great there was honestly nothing I felt was missing. 

: caught a spear straight to the chest on my very first run

Submitted

The game is great, I love the story and the visual. Really great work!

Submitted

LOVED THE GAME! Huge fan of your approach to the story, and also the art, I love the art! The most recent thing it reminds me of is Slay The Princess, great stuff :))

Submitted

some of the greatest aspects all round! I absolutely loved it! the art was wonderful, the music is great, and perfectly fitting, and it all comes together amazingly!!!!!!!!!

Submitted

Beautiful art and writing with fitting music, and a great take on the theme. I could not figure out how to save Troy though xD

Submitted

Solid visual novel with great art. And it has a distinct art style too. There so much art I am impressed. 

Submitted

gooooooood project! so much effort has been put into it

Submitted

The art was fantastic. I don't think I'm understanding the gameplay because I replayed it and tried every possible conversation option and also assigning the task to every person with each of the 2 options and nothing ever changed. Unless I needed to pick a specific person with a specific choice and specific conversation options. The art and story hooked me in but it didn't really feel like the theme to me, but it really had me going. I just felt like I didn't accomplish anything haha.

Hi, thanks for the feedback!! We were actually not sure how difficult to make the game, a la how much should we tell players about the mechanics. We added a bit of info to help :)

⚠️ A note before you play:

The success of a quest depends on who you trust, and what you choose to tell them. The information available to you can be updated as the story progresses - what you know now might not be enough, nor appropriate.

The quest icon appears once a quest becomes available to you.


Again, really appreciate the feedback!

Submitted

So does that mean accepting the quest too early could also be a problem? Or is it that I did indeed need to accept the quest and then pick the right dialogue options?

Developer(+1)

Yes to the first part! Accepting a quest too early could be a problem because there isn't enough information to choose from, and on the other side of the spectrum accepting a quest too late could also be a problem as well :)

Submitted

I love this manhwa-like artstyle and your twist on the theme. The dialogue is well-written.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I definitely watched a lot of manhwa as a kid haha

really striking art, that Cassandra portrait on the page stopped me scrolling. love the theme flip too — "what if no one trusts US" instead of trust no one, that's a sharper take on the myth than a straight retelling. good soundtrack, enjoyed, good job

Developer

Thank you!! We really wanted something that's not too obvious for the theme - hopefully that translated well enough in the game!

Submitted

It’s incredible that you managed to make all of this in just one week. Congratulations! The atmosphere is really well done, the presentation is amazing, and the art looks great. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for the comment! We really put a lot of effort into this game, so it's great to see people enjoy it :)

Submitted

A really well  polished VN, great art and storytelling, good job

Developer

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you :)

Submitted

Wonderful artwork and a great choice of soundtrack! I love historical games, so respect! If I have time, I’ll try some of the other choices as well.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for trying out our game!! It means a lot to us :)

As for choices, we added some info that might help you progress further into the story on the game page, so maybe come back to try it out if you're interested!!

Submitted

Not really a fan of visual novels, but the art and sound design were quite nice

Developer(+1)

Visual novels are definitely not everyone's cup of tea haha I'm glad you still enjoyed the experience!

Submitted

The art is awesome! Love the setting as well.  Nicely done.  

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Submitted

I'm a big fan of historical stories like this one, and I think it is very well put together. The art and writing was amazing, especially since you guys did it in 7 days! I wasn't able to save troy but maybe in another branch I could have.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for trying out our game!! We weren't sure about how difficult the game mechanics we made was - since in the game, you cannot necessarily be sure you have all the info you need to complete a quest - will definitely look into it in future!

Submitted(+1)

This art is so good, well done for getting iit done in a week , Great work!

Developer(+1)

Truely a work of art. This is genuinly one of the most beautiful works I have seen in a while

Developer

Thank you so much!! It was definitely a time crunch, but so worth it :)
