Awesome game, I really like the story and am trying to find out different endings on my own. I have to ask though, is there a way for me to leave the castle? I really want to, but can't find a way to so far.
whats funny if you just stand there and do nothing the hero will leave and then come back if you do this 2 more times you can contine to fight or just let him kill you its kinda funny
The game just doesn't work for me normally=( When I first opened it, it was normal, but the I quit, because Igtg.. Well, when I again opened it, that just bugged half the screen. Like literally. Every letter/starter screen/battle background is cut in half. It's kinda still playable, the other sprites still work like the queen and hero, but text unreadable =(
(i tried to redownload, but it doesn't work. It's also on windows)
Edit: ALL sprites are half-a-half. I can't even see the tut how to attack..
I love the game but I apparently ran into a bug right at the middle section? (after you change the first time, then the hero adapts the 2nd+) here I used one of the moves that killed him and the animation ended.
However, from that point onward the hero keeps getting hit from an invisible force, in the middle and right edge of the screen, that keeps killing the hero in the first phase. Thus dooming the hero forever to never overcome the challenge, lol.
An absolutely delightful game with spectacular character death that directly rewards you for being good at the game while also accepting the inevitable (whether or not that means your death!). Really great.
Gave this a try - amazing work! The narrative's engaging, the UI's well-made & the game looks incredibly polished. I only wish there were a few more potential endings/routes for this - will keep my eyes peeled on any expansions you make, or more future games of yours!
For those not interested in downloading and playing the game or are unable to for whatever reason. You can see a full playthrough of the game here. I'd hate for folks to miss out on the experience.
My game seems to have bugged out? the hero suddenly started taking contact damage from the queen and even if I do nothing they run at me and die and then say the exact same "oops I was distracted" line afterwards. they also have three hearts but the damage they take skips their first heart and directly damages their second one (leaving the first and third heart both full), so they die in two hits instead of three. I let it play out a few times but nothing changed so I think its a bug
It goes beyond the ordinary, the "normal" and does it perfectly. The funny but at the same time deep dialogues, the lore, animations, characters, gameplay and EVERYTHING is perfect.
A game worth playing again, and a thousand times more.
It was really good and the underlying message was just so good. Honestly i usually dont replay games a lot but this one made me just to see all the endings 10/10
the description doesnt really say much u have to interpret the queens feeling on ur own thats why i like it sm :D
i liked the game and since i dont usually read a lot of the description of the games i play (cuz i only play free games) it was nice for me as i havent seen such a concept be done before
im not saying it may not exist its just nothing i've personally seen
if someone enjoys smth u dont have to go and try to change their opinion ok? ur opinion will still be valid mmhm? its ok that some ppl might like smth that u wont :)
would genuinely pay for this game if my money situation wasnt tight. incredibly fun experience and while my life isnt changed by the philosophy it probably has been changed by the graphics. my only complaint is that i cant tab out of the game to get a screenshot i can use as my computer's wallpaper
This game is an absolute work of art, the pure anti-game that gets its themes across perfectly. You should be very very proud of this piece, it belongs in art galleries and this game will sit in my heart for a long time.
Thank you for making it, I will be following what you make <3
Whenever I try running the exe, I get the following error: "The code execution cannot proceed because SDL2.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
I have reinstalled the exe multiple times, yet the problem didn't get fixed.
-Fixed it, I downloaded SDL2.dll from the github page, and placed it in the same folder as the exe
I thought "Cool! i'll just spam one attack so he can't learn how any of the others work!" Which was good for two minutes, until i HAD to use another attack just to find out the hero could already judge and dodge it perfectly.
I understood exactly what the game was about before i had even downloaded it; once i knew how the game worked mechanically i saw no interest in wasting my time with it.
I would love to sit here running through predetermined dialog in a single linear story with a premade set amount of fight sequences using clunky controls that only frustrate me as i barrel towards the one ending that anyone after the two sentence description will understand. But i'm not going to waste my time on this "experience."
There isn't any choice here. This thing doesn't give you any choice. It's not an experience worth having. You lose the second you start playing,
while there IS an ending where u can win, the overall reason for this game was to show us the pov of the final boss and how lonely one can get on the top
Also u DO have a choice in what to do as a queen i have completed about 3 endings but im not sure if theres more? i suggest u give it a chance but its ok if games that dont come out and say everything and where u need to interpret a lot of feelings come is ur type of game :)

Wonderful game. Marvelous plot and amazing dialogues. Really makes you think.

Uh... wow. Just finished it. Absolutely great job on this game. I loved it.
Why did this make me nearly cry
Because it's damned good, that's why. :)
VirusTotal say me that this is a trojan, maybe i got in wrong download
This was amazing! Thank you for the delight!

Can you make an Android Phone Port with Controller Support?

best game i have played in a while
Very cool game. You can see the first look in the video.
Gave this a try - amazing work! The narrative's engaging, the UI's well-made & the game looks incredibly polished. I only wish there were a few more potential endings/routes for this - will keep my eyes peeled on any expansions you make, or more future games of yours!
Amazing game! 10/10 easily! I would LOVE to see more games like this in the future. Keep up the great work!!!
great game

tbh you're missing out either way if you're watching a playthrough of a game like this instead of experiencing it yourself
10/10 masterpiece! would recommend!
Very good, the first short game that I really like. I loved its plot and outcome.
Great game i had fun. cool to see yourself playing as the boss.

Bro, this game is a diamond in the rough.

Honestly this is one of the best short games I've played in a while. I am going to have to play this again
It was really good and the underlying message was just so good. Honestly i usually dont replay games a lot but this one made me just to see all the endings
10/10
underlying message? my guy it's in the game's description. you read 5 words and there's no need to play the game.
there's no need to be mean
the description doesnt really say much u have to interpret the queens feeling on ur own thats why i like it sm :D

this too, is Yuri.
poor queen </3

no for sure. that one room is just so beautiful :)
The ending should have been a romance <3.
Jokes aside what a beautiful game you made, the story and art is *chef kiss*
Bought it after playing.
Okay, this comment section is absolutely garbage.

you read the description and suddenly there's no need to play the game
*sad chromebook user noises*

good game

This game is 𝖏𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖘𝖔 𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖙𝖎𝖋𝖚𝖑.
This was fun, until it wasn't.

There isn't any choice here. This thing doesn't give you any choice. It's not an experience worth having. You lose the second you start playing,
"You lose the second you start playing"
Then you understood the point.
when reading the description of a game invalidates playing the game at all, the game becomes irrelevant and the final experience is an echo chamber.
"Anti-game", bro.
i think they missed the point of the game
while there IS an ending where u can win, the overall reason for this game was to show us the pov of the final boss and how lonely one can get on the top
Also u DO have a choice in what to do as a queen
i have completed about 3 endings but im not sure if theres more? i suggest u give it a chance but its ok if games that dont come out and say everything and where u need to interpret a lot of feelings come is ur type of game :)
you have a very short temper and are uncultured. Either don't comment or stop playing story games. This game has multiple endings you buffoon
Really cool game. Liked the concept. I hoped for a more "good" ending but it is what it is I guess.
im pretty sure there IS an ending where u win or where the hero gives up but i guess it isnt really "good"
Sorry, can I talk with you? I want to know if I can translate the dialogs in your game?
