Really a great game. The combat and the plot combined give me a feeling of a Shin Megami Tensei game, Devil Survivor in particular. There are a few bugs (for example, Headshot never ever stunned anything ever) but it still holds up in spite of them.

i'd like to know what the skill can offer me even if i don't put a point in it, knowing what the skill does will make me decide whether or not i want to put a skill point in it, because putting a point to know what the skill does, then finding out that it's useless defeats the purpose
You can check what the next level of skill does if you highlight the + button. And, if you find a particular skill useless, you can redistribute all points without penalty.

I'm not really sure about this but I think that Head Hunter's third ability that restores % of HP doesn't really scale with his total HP but the HP he has at the start. So the % goes off his base 120 HP, raising HP to 140..etc. doesn't make the ability stronger (bug). The werewolf girl on the other hand doesn't have this bug, so she is freaking strong and I did most of the fights with her. 5/5

Well, that was interesting. Great to finally see a story-telling game merged with an RPG using that slidebar, though I'd suggest that you clarify how skills are improved by a character's stats, the abbreviations like (CON) and (DAM) were kind of confusing especially when a skill is influenced by a stat which is described to influence a different kind of skill, maybe just make a simple list with the effects each skill has and what improves them, instead of writing a description of the skill and some skills/characters are seriously unbalanced. On the story-telling side, I loved the story (it will have a sequel right? Can't wait for it) though it was confusing to jump into each chapter without a little introduction, for example it would've been nice to know that Simon was addressing an audience before he started talking.

i like how lag actually increases your changes by slowing down the pin, specially useful for the tiny hit area or aiming for crits/100%.

Very, very nice art and interesting concept, but aside from that not much of a game. It's just a succession of fights that soon start looking all alike, with some text panels in-between and only a few choices that doesn't seem to do much.
Any way to make those birds stop singing without losing the sound effects?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Addicting gameplay and good balance between characters. I wish there should be 2 separate sound buttons, one for the background and one for gameplay. Some of the background sounds were too high pitched for me to concentrate and made me lose my stride. Everything else 5/5

Nice concept! I think it should have had a further clue or better ending for beating it on hard with all characters alive, but that's okay. Also, the deecive has a skill tha claims it can "stun" an enemy for a turn (50% chance at max level), but, though I used it every round, it never once stopped the enemy from attacking. Maybe look into that. Last, no one knew we needed to scroll text, so it seems to cut off in the middle of people talking. Keep in mind that many of us don't have a scroll wheel, i.e. touchpads on laptops. Still 5/5 for originality. :)

if you "liked it" then shouldnt that be 3/5 because that is the description for 3/5
5/5 is for if you loved a game
I really liked it but it was bugging me that you have to click just after the bar goes past was always bugging me so that reduced my enjoyment so 3/5

The librarian does not get nearly as much points as everyone else. His skills are amazing, but he gets so few points its hard to make him viable. Even the detective is quite useful.
The characters all have a great balance, I love the feeling of the game, and my only real wish with this, is that there was more of a moral dilema and scale with each of the characters, or that you got more of their motivations. Jake is the crazy paladin type of thought(think punisher). Librarian is more monk like. Last is much more nature and animalistically inclined. The other two I have no idea whats going on with really...
It gets a 4/5 for being an overall fantastic game with a great mood.

There's a few spelling errors here and there but nothing really big. The lagtime on the needle when attacking is highly annoying though. I'm giving it a 3/5 in the meantime.

It'd be helpful if there was something that could tell or show you what kind of enemy you'd be facing next during the character selection.

Decent game. Bit buggy (some text is off the dialogue area and the needle seems iffy at times) but an enjoyable game nonetheless. Knocked it out on hard to start. Marco kinda sucks, as does Angela. Simon is okay, Last is probably the best imo, and the guy with the rifle is pretty strong too. 4/5 from me

Great game, I really loved the "dark" feeling. Just a tiny issue: sometimes we can't read the last lines if the subtitle is longer than a few sentences. 5+, I'd like a sequel. :)

Really enjoyed that. One suggestion - make it clear that you need to use the scroll bar to scroll down the text, it just looks like it's been cut off. And preferably use arrows to do that, the scroll bar keeps scrolling the game window instead. Oh, and unless I missed it, there was no real introduction, I started the game fighting a dead bird for no apparent reason. Maybe a cut scene at the start? Cool game though.

5/5 . I you make another like that, I'd like to have a bit more control on movement. Randomly generated path, pool of character with more capacity ? Oh ! one more thing : I've been nervous a couple of time about the HP that never increase, even trought chapters. One could probably stay trapped somewhere even with a save to restart from...

I killed a bird in one shot with it saying 100% on the bar, but it said I had 99% accuracy....was I a nano-meter off?

Should add a mode where you just keep killing monster that get harder and every few kills you get an attribute point.

Is part of the story getting cut off? I see unfinished sentences in some dialogue with new ones forming after you click. For instance in Chapter 5 The Librarian says "Once, many centuries ago, it was defeated and until now nobody" and when I click to continue it starts with a new sentence with "However". Same at the end of the conversation he says "Remember - Victory depends on" and then it goes to the map. I figured he meant "You" but wanted to mention these since you said story was important in this game. I have no clue where else in the game there could be 'cut offs', this was the first place I noticed. I'll also post it in your shout in case it gets drowned out here.

The bar in which you have to click to hit is genius especially when you have multiple shots. Will not be surprised if we see that in commersiall games later on :)

I think gunslinger girl needs to be improved, she is pretty weak char right now :(
I loved the gun man the most, he is realy strong with his 2 turn recharge of 250% damage... and when you hit 100% with that, that's just crazy :)
And his passive is realy something, huge damage decrease on you and good regen ^^
After him goes the werewolf, realy good girl for having crazy vampiric ability :)

Very nice game, had the same problem about the needle, always triggerd a bit behind the place were it was shown, perhaps a problem of solution if shrinked, don't know. But the rest was very nice and quite challenging battles.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Too straightforward : you don't choose what to do next, the story decides all.
Anyway, I really like the fighting system and the real differences between each character.
Great artwork, too.
A good game.

5 for art, 5 for storyline and characters, 5 for controlls, 5 for climate, 5 for characters (my favourites are: jake, student, flake, libarian, and of course me! detective marco ;d (did you know my real name is Mark? :) I really liked that game. I can't wait for another part :)

One of the best games that I have played on Kong for some time. Amazing characterization, story, art and game play. Not too hard, but you still have to be engaged to play it. I loved the werewolf character the best. 5/5

I generally liked the Shadow Hearts-like combat, but the inaccurate accuracy needle grew pretty annoying. I eventually figured out that aiming at about 3/4 of the hit field gives 100%, but i'd prefer it to actually do what it shows.

Original game and well realized. Some little glitches in my computer (a large white circle around the lights (or flames ?) animations - seems to miss one or two words at the end of text), but, well, nothing which lower the quality of story and game !
