Artwork was attractive too.
Feel free to check out my game :) : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom
I'm not fan of dating sims, but I think that the idea is good.
I would say that perhaps the 'secret' was unveiled a little quickly, and that the main character is a bit too clumsy about hiding her true intentions, but I think it worked really well: it added just a little bit of humour to what would otherwise be a very heavy game. Plus, it was made in 72 hours... No-one could reasonably expect you to go for the slow reveal, right?
All in all, fantastic work! Such an unsettling look into the mind of a murderer.
You have done a good job writing all the dialog, it takes a lot of time especially when branching the dialog with multiple choices. We did it in our adventure game to and it was a lot of work.
The horror atmosphere (especially by the use of the ambient audio) is really good. The dating sim comes a little short in my opinion. I did expect less linearity and more options in the dialogs. I only played it once but it didn't feel that the few choices I could make would have made a difference. As I understood, in the end they are all dead, anyway. Or have I just been lucky? :)
Characters' art style is great.
Silly in a good way.
**CONS:**
Controls weren't all that intuitive.
Dialogue could use some cleaning up
**OVERALL:**
Doing a jam game with story and dialogue is a tough business! If the dialogue choices were more meaningful and it were a little easier to use, players would have an easier time connecting to your interesting concept. Nice work.
Keep working on games ;)
Controls weren't really intuitive to me and a little buggy on restart (no character images or textboxes). Also there is quite a number of typos.
The graphics are really good and music sets the mood pretty good.
Overall a pretty solid entry. Well done.
And what a creepy story...
The not so pretty UI with the text destroys a little bit the rest of the graphics.
And the controls weren't intuitive for me.
Well done!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
