Lovely take on the limitation and great use of audio and voice acting to build a world. Could use a little more consideration for visual assets. You claim we are a 12th century poet then have characters in modern suits it's a little jarring. But overall good original concept. :3

Developer

thank you for your honest review!

In fact, it's said that is set in late 19th century - early 20th XD
But thank you, if you stick around at the end of the jam i'll upload a complete version with more levels, an ending and more readable fonts!

Great atmosphere here, and I was pleasantly surprised by actual voice acting in a jam! One note: my pet peeve is when games interrupt your actions for dialog, and that happened constantly here. I ended up not finishing the game due to frustration. Still, great submission and implementation of the theme and limitation :)

Developer

Thank you for your honest review! 

I guess that's pretty much personal, so could not not much I guess ๐Ÿ˜…

But if you're interested, stay tuned as by the end of the jam I'll upload a complete version with more levels, a proper ending and a more readable font!

I love how the game's title is a play on "fog of war", which is especially apparent on the title screen. The game itself handled the theme really well, especially with how it was tied into the story. The broom, msweeping meahnic was nicely implemented and surprisingly satsfying to use too!

The graphics looked really good for a 3D web game, and I didn't experience any lag or stuttering throughout. The voice acting was really solid too and added a lot to the atmosphere. You guys clearly put a lot of care into this, and it shows!

Thank you so much, I'm happy our dedication to the game could show itself this well! 

Also, if you stay tuned by the end of the jam there will be an updated version with more levels, a finale and a better readable font!

Very nice game. Really liked wiping the leaves, very satisfying gamemech. And also the poetic elements gave the game such an incredible athmosphere. Wish i could understand more... but overall  very solid game!! Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you so much! 

If you stay tuned after the jam ends there will be an updated version with more levels, a finale and more readable font!

Rahhhh honestly I loved how you used a real life Italian poet and used their life experiences in your game!! The game itself is very atmospheric and poetic, and the voice acting really made it feel alive, specially the french speaking one! It honestly made me wish I understood french. The only problem I felt that the cursive font was too small, I couldn't exactly read it properly :'))). I'm assuming they were poems by the real author.

And the way you used the limitation is so cool too!!!! 5 stars on Limitation honestly, I loved the looking away thing comes up thematically too. It's super impressive!

Thank you so much, your words are very appreciated!

If you liked it, you should stay around, as at the end of the jam I'm gonna update it with some fixes, all the levels, finale and also readable font!

The leaves effect in the menu is really cool, I'm glad it was part of the gameplay too!

Developer
