The wordplay, poetic I’d say, and the music combined with the visuals gives me eerie vibes, something Litrouke used in his other games too. I was happily surprised by this story and enjoyed it a lot. It certainly is worth your time, even if it is to train your Latin.
This game has an amazing narrative and storyline, it’s coherent with all branches and seems to dig deeply into what one expects of a gruesome beast or a lonely human. With many possible endings and possible rewinds, I think this game is surely worth one’s time.
The game is short, well written, and the audio adds to the ambiance. I was more focused on the text than on the backgrounds, but it was rather satisfying to watch those excerpts of the mill. Gameplay I would estimate around 15 minutes for a quick reader like me.
All-in-all this interactive witchy novel is beyond what I expected and I am pleased I had the honor to read the story, I am looking forward to playing the other two connected games in the (hopefully near) future. The ending was a little abrupt, but this added to the sudden flow of actions, so it’s a pro! Tagged story-rich, it owes up to that name and can proudly wield it, I would’ve added “breathtaking” as well (if it would be possible on itch.io)!
The game could use some polishing, both text-wise and maybe styling/mechanics-wise or I would love to see a “remastered/remake” of this fun time killer. It’s definitely worth a few plays, it’s minimalistic, so don’t expect it to be enormous or perfect.
