10/10 was SO SO beautiful <3,, the buttons were a little clunky but honestly i didnt even mind. the blossoming romance/mutual respect between the dark queen and the hero has my heart CLUTCHED.. i absolutely love the character design of the dark queen, the art? the music? ugh i absolutely LOVED it. would play any sequels.. maybe of the dark queen learning how to be good with the hero? or fighting the hero :)?
Edit: It occurred to me that the attack buttons were mapped to 123 because that would be fine on a full size keyboard. Consider that not everyone uses a full size keyboard or might be on a laptop.
I tried playing just now. It was very annoying having the controls WASD but the attack buttons 123 right above them. At least have the attack buttons on JKL so both hands can be used on either side of the keyboard. This seems like a pretty obvious oversight for game controls.
I didn't play very long because of this annoyance.
Wonderful game with slightly different endings. There does seem to be an issue with hitboxes, as sometimes you can hit the hero but it doesn't register. (mainly towards the second half when he's doing more damage) Its also a nice touch when you get him after he's gotten to the second phase with a base attack and he acknowledges it.
I would like to see more endings if possible, at least one where you come back after death and rule together somehow? Or maybe one where you can coexist, since there is a romantic spin in the undertones.
Really nice game, but I think I've encountered a bug? Or maybe I'm being stupid.
The hero dies everytime he comes close to me, I dont even have to move or attack. And the phrases have gone all the same. Not sure if i have to do something to move the plot now, or if it's a bug
Absolutely HORRENDOUS hitboxes. I landed MULTIPLE hits on the hero, yet he lost no HP. Got stuck in TWO DIFFERENT LOOPS and lost when the hitbox made me land no hits at all.
It was beautiful, it was challenging, but it was short. I played a few times and liked the different endings. The story and art are worth it. I would have liked to face the hero and have the secret option to hug him in the final round and I burn up in flames.
this short little game is going in my list of underrated small indie games because oh my goodness is this game great. it feels quite satisfying being able to be the ultra difficult boss i can’t beat for ages. i really love the dynamic between the the hero and the dark queen, and i need to know more lore about them both. i’m captivated.
IM SOBBING OH MY GOSHHH THIS WAS SO GOOD??? its the perfect little game to play when you just want a short story, and its SO AMAZING. the storytelling with just one room and two characters is incredible, the feeling you can see from just pixels.. augh. maybe its because these two remind me of two of my other fav characters but i really love these guys. they're so cute, and their little story is so fun to see. i will definitely be playing this many times to try out all the dialogue options!! thank you for making this!! :)
Since I've downloaded the Windows version of the game multiple times, I'm encountering a "Fatal Error: Could not detect game. Make sure you are using one of the supported games and that your exe is not renamed." error each time. What should I do?
Hey, awesome gamei really loved it. however i found a bug that is a bit annoying. when you press the movement key to a direction then the other one without releasing the other one it will work when you are working to the left but not on the right.
And i have a suggestion to do. If you could had an ending where the queen start to "recognize herself" in the hero and manage to convince him to become "the dark king of Mortholme"
That's really awesome idea and nice short story. And also a good metaphor about how effort can surpass even something fundamental that was considered absolute. I think this should be sold on steam and you should make money off of your efforts and talented performance.
A gorgeous, gorgeous game that I've been thinking about ever since I saw a clip of it on some random content creator's instagram and that I'll be thinking about for a long time after playing it myself (twice through).
has a good story but so much bug i am hitting the hero but it doesnt count somehow and its happening so many times no he is not dodging or doing something different
Not bad, liked the different ends I found (thought there is probably more), but kinda a bit sad there is no real gameplay, only text you choose really matter (except for one ending), it's clear that the boss attack are flawed to make the hero easily dodge any by just choosing the right placement or the right move, no need for him to do any combo. The game would have made it way better if the dark queen was actually a real threat, but I suppose it would have been complicated to build the hero reactions.
just git good man, all soulslike bosses have ridiculously telegraphed attacks yet people complain about them. Now you get to experience trying to hit this dex build maniac with those dogwater attacks, and even beat him if you can demolish him enough times before he adapts to all of your moves.
? git good about what ? When you hit the enemy it's because the script made it it so you hit him. There is plenty of time when I should have hit him without doing damages at all because he wasn't supposed to get hit at that moment.

10/10 - Great Game
Funny dialogue and intriguing gameplay, it was nice to experience what it's like to be an unchanging entity against a forever adapting foe.
Boss attacks felt clunky as they should, subtly giving The Dark Queen compassion for the hero was a gorgeous touch.
Ojala estuviese para Android, pero se ve muy interesante
great game, i just don't like losing.
I'm billing you my therapy bill
100/10 will recommend at every physical opportunity
Perfect game 10/10

I also use a laptop, I simply used 123 and then the arrow keys to move around.
Why are you not using the Arrow keys?

This was a truly amazing game. I had lots of fun playing it. Thanks.

There is a cheese you can do as of right now, instant dash attack into mace slam as soon as the hero enters the halls.

he obviously used his iframes smh

Amazing! Mosu, absolutely amazing.
Just, next time let me win. =]
I used to browse Itch in read-only mode. Your game made me sign up just to send you 2 dollars. Amazing. Cute. Cozy.
PS: It was really tough, but I managed to demoralize the "player." You won’t get past me that easily! 😈

Будет ли игра переведена на русский и другие языки? Мне бы очень хотелось чтоб была переведена, потому что я не знаю английского.
Will the game be translated into Russian and other languages? I would really like it to be translated because I don't know English.
