Played it to the end, had a lot of fun! I don't know if you can lose, but I was still kept one on edge with the crowd of investigators, haha.
congrats on your first game!! you did good! the concept and writing is fun and it was entertaining trying to convert the town!
For the first game ever it's just great. You did great!
I can't say you fit the "Signal" theme very well, but I had fun playing your game and I'd be glad to play your future games too.
Please keep doing it!
THIS IS YOUR FIRST GAME CAN YOU JOIN MY TEAM THIS IS CRAZY
Thank you :) I'm super behind on homework now lol :,) so I might have to take a break from Jams for a while until I get back on track but I have fallen in love with making games and would like to try working with others on my next project!
Super cool concept!
Great art and loved the vibes.
Was a bit confused on the mechanics at times, but enjoyed it anyway
Definitely a lot of work for 1 person, nice job!
Yeahhh scope creep hit me hard, lol. I think one of the biggest things I've learned is that I need to spend more time planning what is essential to the main game loop before getting lost in my own code. I appreciate the feedback and kind words :)
I LOVED your graphics! It was difficult to understand what I was doing, I definitely had the feeling that I "thought" I was playing but was clicking the wrong stuff or doing the wrong thing. I liked the idea behind the audio but it has some really abrasive qualities to it that I couldn't quite tell what the source was. Could have been overloading your mixer, could have been a web app problem to fix with driver latency adjusting. Great job for your first jam though, keep it up and congrats!
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! For my next game I want to focus a lot on making the controls much more intuitive, scope creep got to me and making the game bare minimum playable became a big issue lol
Yeah this genuinely reminded me of my entry in this jam a few months ago. Just like clicking around a map with cool graphics and a great vibe and WAY too many systems to reasonably make good in such a short time hahahaha.
Cool game, I liked the mood and the music. Sad that the GREAT ME could not be summoned xD
I think the theme was "Signal", not "Sigil", but this is a hell of a piece of work. Your steering behavior is really good!
The only polite suggestion I might make for a final, is to turn that lengthy tutorial into an active one, where the player is guided through the actions before they can move forward.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Sadly the tutorial was rushed an hour before the Jam was up so its super boring lol. Im glad you played past it though!
Very good work with the town's artistic style and the tutorial; I found it very original and I imagine it must have been a lot of work.
I'm so glad you're proud of me! I had a lot of fun with this, the writing was hilarious and it was neat to subvert the town and work on behalf of Cthulhu.
Thank you! Im glad you made it to the end :)
