"- As you said in the Itch description, it's VERY hard to tell where cults are moving. As a big puzzle game guy, I was very confused at first as to how to play because of this.
- However, this is a very original idea, and I think really worth expanding into a full game!
- I would like it to be expanded on more what the masks mean narratively, and not just as a mechanic
- The art and music was very pleasant. Could maybe push either the creepiness a little further, depending on what you want the vibe to be" - Professor Reid
"(There's an extra "any" on the second page of the intro text). While I loved the visuals and the music, the game itself was hard to figure out. I understood the cults had their fears which could be represented on the figure, but it didn't seem to affect the masks that could be placed, and I couldn't figure out how to tell what one mask was, or the effect it had, from the others. I also guessed that testing masks would give insight into which cult feared what, but creating that and placing it I couldn't figure out. Lastly having three activities but requiring four to end the day wasn't intuitive to me, we should be able to simply pass or end the day. A fun and compelling idea overall, but could use some tweaking to the basics." - Professor Denenberg
Such charming art :3
I really enjoy these types of puzzle games!! Amazing job at the writing too ^^
Love the pixel art! It's a very creative take on the mask theme, and it was fun trying to decorate all the scarecrows and pray the cult doesn't jump me at the end of the week...
