I really enjoy this game. the music and the graphic made a very good mood but I think the level that you're a cat was a bit too long and boring. good job.

Too much dialog in my opinion, love the way you implemented combat, felt quite nice !

Thank you! This was actually my first time writing a story and implementing it into a game, so feedback like this gives me a lot of valuable experience for next time.

I’m glad you enjoyed the combat!

I quite enjoyed this. It looked and felt nice to play. My only gripe is that the dialogue was quite a lot (obviously so being story driven) and I felt like half of my experience was spent trying to speed up the dialogue boxes. Other than that, I'm very impressed with what you did here.

I’m glad the overall experience worked well for you.

I agree that the amount of dialogue can feel a bit heavy, especially in a jam setting. That’s definitely something I’d want to balance better next time.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Incredible amount of content with only 1 dev! This is closer to a game demo then Jam project. For me UI and text system was highlight and one of the cleanest and nicest looking one in Jam!

This is one of those games that makes me question did we really have the same amount of time for our games :D. Straight up inspirational.

Thank you! I spent quite a bit of time experimenting with the amount of dialogue and how to keep the UI readable without getting in the way of the combat.

I’m glad that part worked well for you!

Bird helper. Check.
Dope combat. Check.

Creepy music. Check


Are you inspired by Kingdom Hearts? Because I totally got that vibe.

I do hope you expand this into a full release, very fun!

Thank you! Kingdom Hearts wasn’t actually an inspiration for this one, so I’m a little surprised to hear that — but I’m really glad it gave you that kind of vibe.

Thanks for playing, and I’m happy you enjoyed it!

Hi ! You made an amazing work in the choice and mixing of your assets. The narrative and gameplay are wow-developed for a single person in a week !

I love the atmosphere of the game, and the gameplay is interesting. 

Like others said, I found the combat system not very easy to manoeuvre (but for a 1-week jam it's still very impressive).

Thank you! I’m glad the atmosphere and overall mix of assets worked well for you.

I also agree that the combat could use more refinement, especially in terms of control and responsiveness. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Thank you! I probably did try to fit a bit too much into the scope this time, but I’m glad it came together well in the end.
