I was utterly hopeless with the trivia, lol, great job!

Can't get over the characters at the start, so funny. I am sure Jern will love how good he looks and sounds. The quiz nature was fun, actually learnt some stuff so that works well. The graphic style is odd but works. Music was great. I will be going back to this one again just to have a laugh and learn some more :)

Hilarious. This genuinely made me laugh out loud and it is fun to play. The PS1 graphic style is very cool. Scores highly on the education side as well with lots of fun trivia.  Great game.

Pretty amazing what you got done by yourself! The run key was kind of awkward to get to. Maybe a faster walk speed would be good? Thank you for letting me further realize that I have no idea about world history.

Nice game. The amount of work that went into it is impressive. I really enjoyed the guitar music too. A run by default would definitely improve things a lot though

I got hit with the camera issues and the occasional audio bug but did find it quite amusing overall, and I apparently don't know feck about Irish trivia.

hugh laugh in the cutscenes and memes, but no hud to keep track of the number of man-edibles defeated had me wondering if there was an end to it. TIL game

There are purple beams that shine down on them after one is removed, and the counting/display feature didn't make it in unfortunately. I appreciate the feedback!

ya I saw the beams, but they weren't always visible , what with the terrain how it is

What the feck did I just play?

Neat little trivia game with a sense of humor. 10/10 would swim in the Shannon again

Mouse click then press Enter to "fix" the camera (Itch)

There's a known bug on the first game restart
It's recommended to refresh the page instead!. Thanks!

Interesting trivia game concept. Amazing work for solo!

I like the way intro was done. It's a classic way, but it's quite nice to watch. Voice acting is very good.

I did not like that game camera bugs out after exiting full screen - probably browser issue. Also town size was a bit too big - there were moments that I wanted to stop playing because did not find any target I can talk to. Maybe something indicating area where target is needed. The town could also had more random people walking just to not look that dead. I never used character walking - all time was pressing Shift.

After all somehow I finished the game, but knowing that I know nothing about Ireland :)

I checked it out again, itch boots the mouse out when exiting full screen, recapture by pressing Enter.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback!

edit: Exiting full screen, you need to click the mouse, THEN press Enter to recapture. It's on itch's side :/

This was funny and visually and audibly pleasing, reminicient of old PS1 and N64 titles. The game play was very tough as I had no camera control and no sense of direction, after the 1st question (which I got right) the camera angle changed to a weird 3/4 diaognal setting looking down at the ground and I was unable to progress. 

With a Map and some camera changes this has amazing potential to be a hilarious Jern themed game!

Itch is handling the mouse capture strangely. I have a toggle for it on Enter and it sometimes messes up during the questions, which shows then hides it after or jumps frames and twists the camera view which doesn't work if the mouse is showing.

I don't really enjoy the game. The voice acting and visual is very impressive. But confusing objectives ruins the experience for me. I was walking around this dead town for 10 minutes only to find the quiz guy in the most obscure place possible. 
The default travel mode of this game should be running, because walking is 4 times slower, and there is no stamina system to justify walking, so you have to constantly hold shift most of the time.

I tried adding extra detail on the streets/alleys leading to the guys and also after a correct answer re-show the purple beams to where the remaining ones are, but thanks for the feedback! Better clarity is something to work on...

And default to Run is going to be changed for sure
