The Madness Of [Redacted]

Hello creator of this maguinifico game, I am a person from Brazil who wants to know if it's okay to make a translation, or even mods of the game (of course, being free), and this including people from other countries, is everything okay?

This was a good game. I could only find one of the endings though. For me the puzzles were pretty hard even though I feel like they are supposed to be easy.

Really liked the art style, it suits the genre and theme really well! I really liked the first 2 puzzles but the 3rd was really misleading, i had to skip it after 30 mins ;; 

Overall a really great game!

Great little game! Like the other commenters have said, the color palette is great and worked well with the distinctive art style to create some really stylish visuals. The Lovecraft vibes were immaculate. The puzzles were misleadingly hard lol, the pentagon one definitely threw me for a loop. But it made it all the more satisfying to solve them. Awesome job! 

Managed to get both endings somehow c:

Got the two endings~ Really cool experience.

The artstyle is a joy to see!, love the use of complementary colours, that really cold green/dark cyan in contrast with the warm orange light, it looks like an eerie sunset in the bottom of the sea, feels like it's the end of time and Cthulhu is coming to say hi, it really complements the story.

Loved the game ! The colors went well with the atmosphere and I really liked the story. I didn't find the second ending though, but I'll keep trying !

I really loved this! Especially all the interactive parts of the game and how goofy Hendrik is at the end. This is excellently put together!

I made a video of me playing it if you're interested. If anything please definitely take a look at the last 4th of the video as I did some audio editing there and I think it's really fun c:

Loved the title screen! Very creative. Character movement was great. The colour palette is really moody and effective. Love the point and click, although it made me a little sad I ran out of time to do that in my game :( Had to skip all but the first and last puzzle, I was terrible at them :D

PS double posting this from the game jam page because it really annoys me it doesn't do that automatically.

god these puzzles were hard

not in a "hard to understand way", in a "patience is key" way? tbh if i were to suggest anything it would be adding a visible timer to the puzzles to play off the narrative tension of being forced to solve a hard and all no-rush puzzle while being short on time

the second and third puzzles were better than the first tho!! the first one was a bit frustrating because the horizontal lines clearly align but the vertical lines - you have to either know how wide exactly the columns are or test pieces at random to match the edges

anyway, that's all about puzzles

i really liked the limited color-scheme, makes the game very stylish, and the artstyle is working very well with the writing

tbh not a big fan of Lovecraft the airconditioning dude myself; but the writing is solid, and the beginning, intrigue and tension were written really well - the whole street, the personality of the protagonist, the mystery set-up, seamless and pleasant read 

however, near the end i felt like some parts were left unexplored...? i felt like i'd like to know more about how Albert's parents were involved in the mystery, who are those who oppose the cult, and more tension and time in unsolving the motives of the mysterious cult itself

and officer jaeger - i half-expected him to turn out to be a member of the cult, especially because the cultists said they were working with the police, so him appearing again would've been really great, i think! 

"the outerworld" BG was amazing and beautiful, and the imagemaps really fun and effective way to learn about our MC and his backstory

all and all, it was a wonderful and stylish game, just wish i had more of it and more answers to the questions posed! 

OH GOSH.

Just finished and still just sitting here taking it all in. What a ride this was, DANG! Even from the very beginning upon opening the game, you're immersed in the world, style, and colors, from the wonderfully done (animated!) title screen to the subtly creepy and ambient music to the AMAZING BGs. Literally each BG always gave me chills when they popped up on screen. I'm so in love with the colors and art style!!! Everything works together SO well and creates this chilling stark atmosphere that's like being transported straight into a comic book.

I had a ton of fun with the interactive segments! From the little point and click moments to the puzzles! Admittedly, the second and third puzzles took me awhile, especially the third one... BUT!! I PUSHED THROUGH AND WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THEM. I somehow felt quite proud of myself afterwards LOL 

The story is wonderfully dark and surreal. I enjoyed learning about little bits and pieces of the mystery as it went along. And holy crap did those... "transportive"(???) scenes towards the end give me the chills! I fell in love with Hendrik the moment he came on screen. I do have a thing for unhinged characters, and his little shadowy sprite was so well done and deliciously creepy hehehe 🤭 AND GUH THE ENDING. HELP. Oh god, the way it leaves everything open dklfjasdlkfjas it just left me with this weird guttural sense of "off"-ness even after it went back to the title screen.

Just a wonderful little treat! I enjoyed it immensely and it was amazing at really sucking you in immediately. Super polished and well done!! 💕

It was good <3 the art reminds me of hunted fair or something
