A very gripping story! I knew it must be about to end, but I still didn't want it to :)
Thank you!! <3
Je n'ai fait qu'une partie pour le moment, mais le suspense et la tension sur la fin fonctionnent bien. Et je suis toujours admirative de ce que tu arrives à faire en si peu de temps !
Merci beaucoup!!!
Hi! Like the game! I've played once but plan to play more. I did find a couple minor grammar nuances.
***
Every thought she had focused on one thing, and one thing only
He never liked this kind of place, (singular)
OR
He never liked these kinds of places, (plural)
Cool game!Oh thanks for the head's up. Will try to fix ASAP.
Glad you liked it~!
First playthrough went like this: It started with an air of uneasiness before the shop, continued with a curious one at the shop, confusion and creepiness at meeting the stranger, Santana, and survival mode kicking in the last choice thinking Santana would change his mind and kill me instead if I refused. Regretted doing that in the second playthrough😅. Then yelled at "The end" showing up.
I know you fixed most of the grammar errors in the English version, but there are still a few left. Also is it possible for the font to be bold? It's kind of hard to read in the dark theme on a phone without squinting my eyes, zooming in or raising the brightness up to 30-40%.
Thanks :)
(If you did find more, could you send them to me? I did do a few grammar checks, but they are not foolproof :/)
Because this was submitted to the Bare-Bones Jam, I can't change anything about the interface as a whole until after the jam is fully over.
I did say there were only a few left. And WOW! Her relationship with David was one big toxic relationship. Was he a narcissist or something?
Oh great thanks :)
I'm leaving this up to your interpretation. Other could read Paula as being so dependent on David that it became not healthy for her.
(mainly cause I hadn't made up my mind about it when I wrote xD)
