It felt like English is not your mother tongue (but I may be wrong) and the phrasing was a bit weird, which somehow added to the atmosphere (something can be better than the sum of its parts). The slashes ( / ) in the text felt weird, especially in one of the screen where it was supposed (I guess) to separate sentences (or groups of words), but I instead read it as an option between two words. For example: "something/something something/something" reads to me as "something/something" "something/something" instead of "something" "something something" "something".
The ambiance reminded me a little of Baudelaire's "Les fleurs du mal".
I use slashes instead of comma to avoid a technical problem when reading the csv format text in Unity. Still unfamiliar with c# now, sorry for making you confused..
Thank you for the advice and recommendation, "Les fleurs du mal" added to my reading list<3
The music fits well.
I personally hope for improved story presentation to make the game more fun.(*^▽^*)
- really good mood though
- I assume the "/" problem mentioned above is that you are using fullwidth comma instead of halfwidth comma ("," and ","), should be a quick fix if you can ctrl+F your excel sheet and replace those slashes
- all in all good job!!
Stuck in this problem for long time, even switched to another pc - -||
Thank you sooooo much!!
True, quite limited gameply, basically only throwing feathers...
The "limited space" concept is applied when shaping the situation of the dying man, both mentally and physically(I hope so), not straightforward and not well expressed lol
Thank you for the detailed feedback!!!appreciate that~~
On a more technical side, I'd look into random pitch variation for repeating sound effects, like the crow squaks, so they're less grating over time. Also, you mentioned that you used slashes"/" to replace commas"," because you're not very familiar with csv and file parsing, so definitely look into that. Also just because slashes can be used effectively in writing, and it's a shame to use them non-purposefully!

It is a pity for not ultilizing slashes as a part of expression, you remind me of how delicately it is used in poem. I'll think about this when rewrite the dialogue. Thank youuu SnekOfSpice!!><
