I liked it a lot! Maybe because I'm a D&D nerd but I enjoyed it, I love the art too, great job!

Developer

The art here is out of this world. If I could rate it 6/5 stars, I would.

Developer

Thank you so much!

The art is beautiful! It would be cool to see these characters come to life in a more interactive game.  

Developer

If we decide to go ahead with a full game there will DEF be way more interaction and stuff, thank you!

Wow massive work on the art for sure - it feels like I was reading a visual novel. I think it would be nice to make the passage a bit bigger/easier to consume in chunks. Overall you guys are great storytellers  :)

Developer

The story and art is all thanks to my lovely wife! And I agree, I need to vastly polish the dialogue system; it's kinda janky haha. I am glad you enjoyed it!

The art is definitely a masterpiece. It’s incredible that this was achieved in just one week. I really liked the story short, simple, and it fits the jam perfectly. Great work!

Developer

Thank you! It was quite a learning experience because this was our first game jam and prototype ever. I am so grateful for all the positive feedback and responses.

Thank you! I am very much considering turning it into a full visual novel, or even a game beyond that, but still keeping all these visual novel elements, so we'll see!

BEAUTIFUL game, actually just gorgeous! Keep making more! Although my deduction skills are apparently not so up to par, I had a great time reading the stories and trying to figure out the puzzle! Great work :)

Developer(+1)

thank you!! Keep trying haha, and in future if we make a full version of this I will definitely make the whole deduction and dialogue much more fleshed out

Beautiful art. The game is simple but fits the theme.

I originally clicked on your game because, well, Dragon. Who Wouldn't? And I wasn't dissappointid. The writing and the art in your game are literally awe-inspiring. 

Developer
