This was a sweet game! Amazed that you guys put together such a high quality game in the short time that the jam gives! I could definitely see this being a longer, slow burn romance, you guys managed to pace it well considering the length of the game and made such an emotional piece. I've never gone through such a tragedy but I felt I could resonate with the main character's pain. Loved the banter and dialogue between the two characters as well, it felt so natural and the extremely talented voice acting really complemented the dialogue. Honestly I want more from you guys >.< I hope you plan on making more works in the future!
Thank you for putting together this nice game!
Leaving comments per your Twitter post from a few days ago (half feedback, half bug reports):
Feedback:
Bugs:
"Hey! Though you said..." -> "Hey! Thought you said..."
Henry chops the wood himself - overlapping text that goes off screen
She never screams, not loudly - overlapping text
Henry looks towards his hatchet choice -> overlapping text
Thanks for the feedback.
I've uploaded a new build. Bugs should be fixed.
The art looks gorgeous and the story sounds interesting. I want to read it but to be honest from the screenshots it looks hard to read with the coloured fonts you have chosen. I also think the nvl screen is a bit too dark so we can't see the pretty art behind it very well.
Also some of the text looks off centre like in the second last screenshot. The two sentences at the end. I realise it has a voice acting but I still think the presentation of the writing is important especially if it's going to take up most of the screen with nvl mode.
I thought I'd leave a comment to let you know so you can maybe have a chance to fix it and make it easier on the eyes to read. It looks like a lot of people put a lot of work into it so it would be sad to see it go unnoticed. Sorry if this comes across as rude. I'm not trying to be.
Thank you for the feedback!
I made the background brighter and removed the colored text
