This is the second of your games I've played (Max Power being the first), and this is just as unique and entertaining! The art is cute, mechanics fun and the story interesting. Thank you for another gem!
I'm going to try The Widow and the Mirror next. :)
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. The widow and the Mirror is less of an adventure, more a linear visual novel, though. But if you're in the mood for some fake classic noir story, go ahead.
A one of a kind survival adventure that doesn't let down from a narrative perspective. I came to see what I was missing for its quirky, yet charming art direction, and stayed for good mechanics.
This game ain't lengthy, so you should give a it shot when you feel like playing something that doesn't take your whole life to be rewarded with interesting story lines.
quirky, yet charming comment. Thank you
Nice and entertaining mechanics, and an unexpected plot twist at the end that makes the story even better. All in all, about an hour of fun and interesting gameplay.
Glad that you enjoyed it!
This Looks fantastic.
What Program did you Use to put the Game together?
is it all painted by yourself?
The game is made with Renpy. I made the in-game illustrations, the cover art, as you can see, it's made by someone who draws and paint very well.
