I played just to see if the art style worked with the game. It definitely does, and I was just glad to see (i assume) hand drawn art over just assets or AI. Inspired me to be confident about the game I'm working on. Creepy fun, nice twist. Good audio for atmosphere.
It's better to have a little, but something done with intention and care, than a lot, but poorly done. Besides, style is more important than technical "quality."
Wow, me siento muy halagado de que alguien haya hecho un gameplay de tu juego, te lo agradezco un monton <
Gracias a vos por verlo 😃
I only read the DevLog & About sections after going through one playthrough. I admit I was also thinking of the manga Homunculus, and I can't tell you how glad I see that it was inspired by the manga and not real life events.
What am amazingly story-rich game. The simple artwork also really lends itself to the story.
thanks for playing and for sharing your experience, i'm glad you liked it <3
