Love the inscryption vibe! Cool art and cool game!

Developer

Thanks! Definitely unintentional, but the similarities are definitely there haha.

I found it turning into something similar to that game, as well as Slay the Princess the more I worked on it.

That audio though… Had to play in mute.

Developer

Yeah, audio is definitely not my strong suit lol. Definitely something I'm working on more and more though.

I appreciate you giving it a play nonetheless!

No, I mean, it was oppressive and completely on point. I just couldn’t take it. Maybe you could use it more sparsely to accentuate some situations instead of playing continuously.

Gruesome! I love how you got the mouth matched to the blips of the text. Very cool. The save system makes for a great way to deal with all the dead-ends! Great work!

I appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing!

The save system was definitely something I wanted in because of how many dead-ends there were. I imagine it would get quite frustrating having to backtrack all of the time.

Glad you liked the game!

What is freedom? This game lets you think about it. The gameplay is fun and it feels different from other games. For a visual novel it’s very intense, but in a good way.

Thanks for checking out my game!
