I have to say, I'm impressed by the art and character design. Especially with the Crawling Rot, she looked magnificent and eerie without too many elements, I also like Fyodor though I had to look at his face not his chest AHAHAHA
Other than that, I'm curious over why the Crawling Rot doesn't demand payment back from the people she makes deals with. Is she trying to build up their karma or debt as the years pass? Or is she unable to do anything and acts as some sort of demented genie until someone (MC) comes along and hunts the people who made a deal with her? Does she need a third party?
It's all very interesting, I am also interested in Fyodor, however from what I recall his story seems to be what I can expect it to be with just that journal of his, either way I'm excited to see how the story evolves. Good job on that~!
Both Fyodor and The Crawling Rot were utterly gorgeous, and the ending variations were a lot of fun.
(Like the person down below, I think the ending where we became a devout follower was my favorite too.)
I really enjoyed all the different endings, my personal favourite had to be becoming a devout follower.
Its interesting. though i found two bugs. He tells me i lied about my name even though i chose the option to tell him the truth. This other thing popped up before he said it.
I just found out about it it was working on my end hopefully it's fixed now
Thank you so much for letting me know btw sorry my game is so buggy its my first time using renpy
Fyodor is really cute! The side sprite of him is perhaps my favourite, but despite finding him and his scenario endearing I think Ending 5 remains my favourite! It was a nice inclusion for having the MC have some degree of choice in a bad scenario.
Would just like to mention that when selecting the choice to tell Fyodor the MC's real name he still acts like he's been lied to once they arrive at the basement.
Thanks for sharing! I'll look forward to the full build's eventual release.
Thank you so much for letting me know I'll make sure to get that taken care of! It's nice to see people are enjoying my game.
