The idea behind this has huge potential, and what you did complete as part of the jam works really well and shows how far this idea could go.

Really well executed design. You nailed the conversational vibe with the art and writing.

Beside YourselfSorry about that! :( I should have phrased that differently tbh. In the original idea we were thinking about proper deck building, but we already overscoped for the jam and writing all the branching options for every possible card was a lot of work that we barely had time to check or to expand the features (that’s where the crash comes from ahaha). Thank you for playing anyways and I’m glad you still enjoyed the writing and artstyle :D
I really love the look and feel. The subtle animations add a ton. Maybe there's something not quite right about the lighting / color tone, because everything seems a bit brown.
The one playthrough that didn't crash for me was the one where I chose ridiculous non-sequitur answers though.

UNDEFENDED!Got the secret ending lol

LinkSider DemoThanks so much for playing! I was just looking through the script and I think I figured out what happened. To create the dialogue tree we specify the options we want to explicitly handle and then have an “other” path for the ones that are so far fetched that don’t really make sense. And in one of the lines we forgot to put the other path, so it probably just crashed. So sorry for that, but thanks for telling us. We will definitely be fixing it and testing it more for an updated after jam version :D
I normally don't like story-oriented games whether the choices belong to the player or not, but in this small scope, I really enjoyed it. I was very excited to learn about the characters since the whole story was based on their interaction rather than reading a static text.
On top of those, I really struggled with the UI system of Bevy. It is mesmerizing to see someone who nailed it.
Awesome game!

JumprThanks so much for your kind comment! I’m so glad you liked it. The UI system was kind of tricky to understand at first but after that it is really nice to work with! It is made similarly to flexbox on the web which allows for a lot of flexibility. I would say you could look at the code, but I don’t really recommend it ahaha, since with the deadline approaching everything became a spaghetti. But with more time you could make a lot of things with it. Thanks again for playing! :3
Really cute game with a cozy aesthetic, love the way the lighting matches the mood!

A High Stakes AffairOh, I’m so sorry that happened! :c We didn’t have much time to test it after the deadline. Right now there are 4 finished endings and the one that says it is a work in progress. One of the endings is bad, one is neutral, and the other two are kinda happy. If you replay it the cards you used on previous playthroughs will appear sort of greenish so you can keep track of the options you selected! But thank you so much for playing and giving feedback, we really hope to properly test it and make sure it doesn’t hang!
it is so cool! It is interesting to see such a good and cozy art with such topic. And the card mechanic is very good!
