Meh. LD theme kind of gave it away pronto. haha
Other than that, a short, pleasurable experience. Not a new concept, but for that little amount of time you guys got, the result is very good. Consider making another not as easy, with multiple endings or so.
As I've said before, you'd be amazed at the responses and choices some folks have made for the conclusion... But I hear ya; as I was making it I kept thinking about how neat it would be to have more and more options and have it be a longer game. Next game I make won't be under a time or prompt constraint, so I guess stay tuned. Thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a review :)
Notbad
So this was notbad of a game I really enjoy the "STORY" part of this game its very good indeed, I like the concept here, now the buttons there was too much of the clicking if you made it so theres just one next button on one screen not just two screens make it run smoother like a story movie, and adding more medals would be great, anyways decent game here.

lol thanks
I admit to being very confused by this. I guess it's hard to look at an RPG made in such a short time. I mean, it made little sense. Have the designs of the medals changed? Anyway, this is just weird. I guess the drawings are good.
It just did little for me. Congrats on being the most popular game for this Ludum Dare. Well, last time I checked at least. I liked the variety of music. I guess people more into these kinds of games will like it more.
Wrong. Game made 100% perfect sense and is 100% perfect in every way.
Thank you for playing and for writing a pretty good, sober review.
It's a great idea, but I'd love if there was more to it. Also, some things I found odd:
-Mhixellion claims that he immediately rejected the tavern wench for her forwardness, but Kheidi mentions in her answer that he "takes what he can get"
-The page on Intellectual Devourers cuts off before you're told just about the only useful thing on the page, though that may have been intentional
-Couldn't the ID just analyze the answers given previously (or the interactions other members may be having in the waiting room if this is secluded), and copied them to fabricate something other than near-nonsense? You'd think these creatures would learn to improve to survive since they're all being killed off by a simple test
I can make a longer game when I don't have a time limit or prompt ;)
All excellent questions, thank you for asking. Here you go:
One: yes, there is intentionally a discrepancy between Mhix and Keidi's story - this is intended to cast doubt on both of them and draw your suspicion.
Two: the page is also intentionally cut off to leave you knowing that there is something peculiar to look for, but to be up shit creek without a paddle (so to speak).
Three: as is standard in any type of legitimate investigation, parties are kept separate to prevent collaborating on alibis, making pacts, and concocting corroborating lies. The royal court in this game operates as such.
how do you get the secret medal?
