I'm rather impressed, to say the least. The information that's drip-fed to you by the excerpt, while vague enough to keep you guessing, for me actually made me even more critically-perceptive to the situation at hand. Alongside some neat artwork, the personalities of each character was a delight to sift through, and played in well to the intuition required to solve the mystery. I rather liked it!
Reviews for "Devoured Intellect"
BoobMarley responds:
I'm delighted to hear that you picked up what I was putting down! Thank you so much for the review, and of course thanks for playing!
short and fun. got it on the first try, using the same reasoning as the publisher. the answers lacked nuance and were devoid of human experience.
BoobMarley responds:
Haha, nicely done!
Quite a clever game. I received the "Don't pick at it" medal and had myself a good laugh. Keep up the great work!
P.S Great music- it's mellow and doesn't distract.
BoobMarley responds:
Haha, glad you got it. Finding the music was a lot of fun; if you've never browsed the Newgrounds Audio Portal, I highly recommend it.
Enjoyable short game. I won the game on my first guess and got both medals.
Good:
1. The logic of the correct answer. I got it after some thinking. There were additional clues that I felt were embedded in the game, though I won't spoil the game by mentioning what they were here.
2. Sound, graphics, and animation were good considering the restrictions.
3. Overall creativity, including the incomplete "guide"
Bad:
1. We should be allowed to re-interview any individual party member whenever we want, and not have to re-interview the entire party over again if we just need to re-interview one person.
Ugly:
1. Arrows needed to advance dialogue were small, kept changing positions, and hard to see as it blended into backgrounds. Why do we need to click an arrow? Why can't we just click anywhere to advance the dialogue?
I can see Aubrey Plaza playing the role of the Rogue in the live-action movie :P
BoobMarley responds:
Good: Thanks
Bad: Nope. There's no easy way out. Do it right the first time, or do it all again.
Ugly: Clicking the arrows, and having them change places, helps ensure players don't accidentally double-tap and skip dialogue, and forces them to be attentive to everything being said.
It was good for being a game like this but for now it was the best game of detective i played.
Good work dude.
BoobMarley responds:
Thanks :)
