Hi, thank you for playing Mates of Mendacity! We have patched a number of bugs related to interactions and soft locks. If you would like to give it another try, you should now be able to play through until all four enemies are defeated!
Now that the game is fixed it's much better. One of the problems though is that it's a little bit boring, and very confusing. The art however is the best I've seen this jam.
We appreciate the constructive feedback! We will explore some options to make it more fun such as improved visual effects, clearer descriptions, perhaps a gradual introduction of some items, balancing difficulty, and improved synergies in certain party builds.
