i love the concept
Doesn’t work with 2580x1440 resolution (24 inch (2K) monitor)
Hello. This game is buggier than the wet soil under a rock but I love, love, love it!! I think I have an idea of what the story is, kind of, but you clearly want people to inerpret the meaning on their own so I'll keep my mouth shut.
Also, HOW did you get Unity to do weird, sort of frame thingies like that ?!
I love the way everything is presented, the MOOD is awfully great and the story is as cryptic as it is interesting. But ive had some serious issues with control... The character constantly wants to go front-left, only countersteered by going back-right but that then moves you very slowly. Aswell as pressing space being incredibly unreliable, mashing it to get any progress.
Overall, amazing entry! Despite the control problems that plagued me.
cool style.
how do i turn/look around?? also very pretty game!!
mouse movements to look, wasd to move, space to interact! thanks and enjoy!
oh okay!! thank you!!!
A very novel way to present stories in a videogame.
much appreciated! enjoy the rest of your journey playing the jam games!
This was a really cool set of vignettes. I had no idea Unity could do rendering like that. This has to be one of the most visually creative games I've played.
thanks! i didnt know it could do it either, its still super janky but im looking into how to fix it
When I run the executable, the game appears on a corner of my screen and I can't move the window.
as it should, carry on!
Ah I get it now. Great aesthetic choice!
thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
This game is pretty interesting, i suppose the bandit claimed he burned the samurai in his home and then murdered the lady, the shogun claimed the bandit robbed the lady, he shot the bandit and burned down his house, and the lady i just didnt understand at all
Is the game finished and needs no more updates?
There need to be a lot of fixes, and some clearing up of the story, i just couldnt assemble it quick enough during the jam
Good, I will wait for the next update then.
Impressive tech, puzzling plot. 1st game in the video
Holy Moly! This is awesome!!!
Thank you!
Jesus, this is amazing!!
^_^

Insanely cool! Loved the vignettes! Really nice music too!
Appreciate it! I did what i could with the music!
I'm absolutely blown away!!!
thank you!
