Holy shit the polish! The dialouge! I love it so much, although controlling the boss was a little frustrating it does make it feel like an actual video game boss. Idk if it was intentional but the hitbox (mainly of the first attack) being forgiving to the little guy is funny, as it's consistent with other video games being forgiving for the player. Although that part was a little frustrating, it made for a great story. Kudos!
I refuse defeat. They shall NOT have it their way...
I don't know if there are more endings, but I am more than willing to find out.
I really liked this game, dark lord simulator is a concept that has already been done before, but always in a jokingly manner, it was not until Mortholme that I got to be the boss under a compelling narrative.
Keep it up, games like these give me hope for the future of gaming.
I absolutely loved this game! Showing decent character development in 20 minutes can't be easy, but you nailed it ^^ I was feeling bad for the queen towards the end lol. I would love to see more "anti-games" from you in the future!
love is game playing hollow knight of the first time it has the same vide hope i just something like you can do boss before the final ex boom boom before bower. but different but just hope than is more on the line
Anyone else having an issue where they become invulnerable in phase 1 after winning in phase 2? I think I've soft locked myself somehow
Edit: I managed to replicate the softlock, if you defeat him in phase 2 and he happens to be under you DON'T mash space as you can potentially enter the animation of burning him without turning your candles back on giving you immortality without a way to get an ending

very fun game it enjoy how the hero gets better and so far the only way I've bet him is by being unfair and spamming 3 because in souls games its fair and to get him to quit is by being unfair
The only words I have for this game are: thank you. Thank you for creating this masterpiece—a game that delivers such a deep, emotional story in just a few minutes. The feeling of being condemned to die, no matter what, makes the queen’s final dialogue hit even harder. A wave of emotions washed over me while playing, and I even shed a few tears when the queen embraced the player and during the ending.
I played this game because it has an interesting gameplay from what I saw. You as the boss fighting the hero which usually the player's role, but i didnt expect the story that this game have. For a short game it is really impressive. I love it, thank you for the game.
The game is really cool, and it's clear that something special happened between the hero and the Queen—some kind of special bond and all that. But the Queen could have stopped the hero all this time; it would have been enough to break his arms and legs and leave him to suffer in agony, healing him just enough. It's the simplest way to deal with Heroes with restart abilities. But no, she let him die so he would improve and become stronger.
I know my comment is kind of a buzzkill in a way. But I feel sorry for the Queen. That little brat deserved to suffer.
You can get him to give up by not moving, but that is the bad ending as the hero doesn't consider you a worthy opponent and you get no further dialogue. You also get this ending by not attacking them at all.
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

JoJos reference?!?!!?!??

I quite enjoyed this game. Surprisingly philosophical and emotional.

Thank you
I really like this game!!
Oh yeah! I could make him surrender! I'M THE EVERLASTING QUEEN!!!
This is really, really good!

Я рассчитывал на мирную или романтичную концовку. Но этот ублюдок просто пришел за вызовом, победил и пошел дальше
Dang it, she done went and pulled him to her chest at the end, and that no-good hero up and killed her anyhow.
great game but there was a bug where the hero just keeps dying after my 3rd tranformation and i couldnt finish the game :/
he just gets bummer I cant complete the game he keeps dying
Gorgeous gorgeous game. Cant believe you uploaded this for free
Marriage update. I need one,lol. Jokes aside, the gameplay is very enjoyable despite being simple. So yeah, thanks for making this!
i am genuinely in awe if how good this game i
i am begging to get a low texture update my trash laptop cant handle even the simplest shit
Чудова ідея і не менш чудова гра
Such a good game, but his paterns are pretty easy to fool. I made him give up with only 2 attacks and without moving
I hope this is meant as a joke.
no?
You can get him to give up by not moving, but that is the bad ending as the hero doesn't consider you a worthy opponent and you get no further dialogue. You also get this ending by not attacking them at all.
I meant I got the ending where you kill him so many times he doesn't come back
Doens't load on my mac
Wonderful game. Marvelous plot and amazing dialogues. Really makes you think.
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.
Отлично
Testing

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
