I loved the theme of this video and realized at the end that a lot of the lore is in the world/realm of the Fae! I have never played a video game like this and it was delightful! I really enjoyed the surprise ending. I just had to giggle and found myself dancing as well. I am going to play through this again just to troll the callers cause its hilarious when you give them the wrong answer and they call back.
I adored this. Immaculate nostalgic vibes and a super fun premise. I was smacking myself after each incorrect submission--there is ALWAYS a clue as to what's really going on. The little extra goodies, like the trail video, were a pleasure to watch. Can't say enough good things.
Prefect balance between comedy and dread all the voice actors did a amazing job
Only issue i have is that there were no calls about warlock remnants Other than that my favorite game of 2024 So far will be pretty hard to beat the joy I got from playing this !
This was such a good game! I love everything from the lore to the little tiny details such as the desktop and nostalgic sounds! The voice acting was great as well! I can't wait for your next project! Check out my first gameplay! I made a fanmade intro to add to the immersion!
Great game!
Loved putting my Customer Service skills to the test! :D
Great game idea. If you ever make a sequel, you should consider not only including other culture's folklore (Japanese folklore has a lot of wacky creatures) but also how local folkcreatures would interact with invasive folkcreatures that would be introduced since the invention of steam ships and fast intercontinental transit.
I know I'm just "ideas guying" right now, but there could also be something with different corporate cultures clashing mixed with how different old pagan cultures deal with their "duende"? Something like international mergers or something?
It feels like this is just scratching the surface of what could be done and I hope more of this quality work is done in the future.
This is a pretty good game. It's fully voice acted which is pretty rare for a game made by a small studio and has a really neat premise. Plus all the lore is really cool and the dark humor is pretty good. The ending I caught me off guard, but it made since once I started looking at things in greater detail. My only complaints are the gameplay was a little too minimalistic and some puzzles were a bit obtuse. So I had to Google a few solutions. Other than that I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to more this developer.
Anyways here's a live stream I did, use it as a try before you buy guide. Any likes and comments are appreciated
