This game isn't about being "friend-zoned". This game is about waiting too long to tell someone your feelings. Trust me I know from experience it is not a good idea to wait. I managed to tell my crush my feelings after we had graduated highschool for half a year and she was with someone else. She said thanks but she never acknowledged my existence after that. The moral is say what you have to say NOW! Don't wait too long like me and Mr. Blue Cube because you just might regret it. Don't pass up your chances!!!
For those who are confused: The Flute has no use in this game and putting The Coin into the top of the little spirit homes is an easter egg from one of Hypotis' other games, Runeseekers 2. Another great game you guys should play! :D
The story is very sad...but also a bit ironic from the perspective of Jack. He took drugs so he would forget his problems but in the end it created more problems. It even causes him to sometimes forget he lost Kathryn, a person he loved and cared for quite a bit (not to mention it ultimately brought about her demise, although that was obviously indirect and an accident). It's even worse when you add the premise of "The Company of Myself" to it. Everyday he remembers and forgets everything that had happened and then goes through it all over again the next day. Quite a tragic story, yet still beautiful and heart touching. Thank you for making this game and writing this great, thought provoking tragedy.
Thank you for finally releasing this on Kongregate! Great game, like all the other Hood games. I'm sure I speak for many of your fans when I say we appreciate the time and effort you put into making this series. Can't wait for episode 4!
P.S. That cheap scare was uncalled for. I'm writing this as a ghost because I died of a heart attack.
Haha sorry, I didn't actually mean it as a scare, like, everyone has said that it startled them, I wanted it to be spooky, not jarring, so I kinda messed up there. At least I didn't play a horrible loud sound, I hate those things. I meant for it to be more haunting, I think I should have had the fade be slower or something. WELL, regardless, it's important to the story. :P
3/5. The cutscenes and gameplay are great. But you lost two stars because of easy spelling mistakes and this being a demo. Demos on kongregate are let downs. I hate nothing more than being cut off from enjoying a story I like because I need to purchase it. Furthermore, I hate not being able to purchase it because I do not own any of the products the full version can be played on. That, Sir, is lamesauce.
Let's say I got over the fact that little to nothing in your game actually works. Do I really need to start from the last level I beat every time I die?
Pick up the candle. "You have picked up a needle." Touch a stone in the wall. "The door is open. You have escaped successfully." I think this needs to be taken off and debugged before you put it back up, the game is obviously flawed. Looks like it has potential though so I do hope you fix it.
Again, another idea and this is my last i promise. Levels have 3-5 star rating system based on how many mistakes you make on the words to add even more challenge/achievement to levels. Okay this will be my last spam/idea i promise.
Another idea I forgot to mention earlier in my previous comment. Maybe give power by how quickly you can chain-combo words together. For example, a quick 5 words will give a medium power combo and 10 will give a large amount of power, etc. (all without making mistakes) Of course that means you will have to lower the power you get from words like i had said before. Just another thought...Would be an interesting achievement for something like 100x or 1000x word combo. (Would need summoning not to interrupt word combo's and longer levels for sure) Just some ideas i guess ._.
Great Game. 4/5 because it was WAYYYY too easy for me and probably other people as well, and that made the upgrades do absolutely nothing for us. But the game has a lot of potential. The basic things you should change: Adjustable difficulty, Buff enemy/monsters, nerf own monsters (you can win with pretty much no upgrades). Make typing words give less power it only takes 4-5 words to fill up the summoning bar. After doing all of this, please try to make another 15 levels. Do it please! I'm looking forward to playing this game with those changes! :D
