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?2

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
Solid visual novel with great art. And it has a distinct art style too. There so much art I am impressed.
gooooooood project! so much effort has been put into it
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!
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?
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 :)
I love this manhwa-like artstyle and your twist on the theme. The dialogue is well-written.
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
Thank you!! We really wanted something that's not too obvious for the theme - hopefully that translated well enough in the game!
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!
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 :)
A really well polished VN, great art and storytelling, good job
Thank you so much! Really appreciate you :)
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.
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!!
Not really a fan of visual novels, but the art and sound design were quite nice
Visual novels are definitely not everyone's cup of tea haha I'm glad you still enjoyed the experience!
The art is awesome! Love the setting as well. Nicely done.
Thank you so much!!
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.
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!
This art is so good, well done for getting iit done in a week , Great work!
Thanks for trying it out! Really appreciate you ;)
Truely a work of art. This is genuinly one of the most beautiful works I have seen in a while
Thank you so much!! It was definitely a time crunch, but so worth it :)
The artstyle is PHENOMENAL. The story is PHENOMENAL. Not a big fan of games like this, but I quite enjoyed this. Really good job!
Tysm!! It means a lot 😆😆 IK visual novels are def not the most popular genre, but it's a story we really wanted to tell
Cool 😁
Thx!!
Impressive ! The art is good, the audio maybe a little too much epic, but audios transitions are really cool.
I need to retry it when I would have more time to test different path
Well done
Oooo yeah we may have made it a bit difficult to branch out to different paths in the game - so please let us know how it goes!!
I really enjoyed the art in this game.
Well crafted for a 7 day creation!
Omg thank youuu my ipad was in the trenches by the end lolll
Amazing Job! the art style and the audio choice is marvelous, I enjoyed it so much.
Thank you so much!!
Nice art and story, music fits well. Not a ton of choices, but overall a good short visual novel game.
Thanks! We really wanted to get the atmosphere going first - it was the very first game we actually so wanted to play it safe haha
