Stellar presentation and compelling, moody storytelling.
I've loved all of this, from the overall atmosphere to the little details on the dialogue cards.
It feels definitely as something you've put a lot of care and effort into, congrats. :3
Aw, it's so nice to hear that! Thank you so much!
What an amazing visual style! Mixing up 1bit pixel art and old movies is genius! I love how the "dirty film" effect was rendered. I also liked the "adventure" style storytelling. Nice work!
Glad you liked the style we went for! We really appreciate you taking the time to play the game and leaving a comment as well. It's always nice to get feedback!
Thanks so much for the kind words and playing the game!! Im so happy you enjoyed the art style!! :D
