Kinda... Short ?

[Bloodonmoon]

Even for a 13€ game, it was kinda short in my opinion. Too bad because I feel like the concept is very great, but at the same time it feels like "the minimum" had been done.

(I have no idea how hard to produce this game was, so I'm not into blaming the dev, just letting out some thoughts).

In the end, it feels more like a "puzzle" game, than a "puzzle but multiple solutions exists !" game. I mean, since many characters have proper traits, you can't really solve the title however you wish, witch was kinda lame to me (even more since it was a major point in the trailer). The lack of secondary objectives proves just how few possibilities you really have to solve this.

I can think of different ways that would have offered us the "possibilities" we're supposed to have to solve these stories :
- Having traits apart from character and being able to apply them however we wish (like having the baron being bad by default forces a way in your story)
- Having more backgrounds to be used than just the forced one could have offered more possibilities (sometimes I wanted to use one background in a story but it was just not proposed, limitating my possibilities even more)
- Having more quests, more secondary objectives, more characters, more backgrounds or traits
- Being able to have more than 2/3 characters by background (the family tree one is super boring, having to had 3 in one story to have 2 brothers and an uncle....)

'Cause in the end, it's just a puzzle. Not a puzzle you can solve by being creative, since you can't modify that many things.

So that's the main point I'm disappointed about. And with that said, to me, it was too high of a price for such a low content : I solved everything in 1h30 on switch, and since you don't have many possibilities, there is no point in playing the game all over again.

Totally agree. Not worth the money for such a short game. I really expected more.

Exactly, the demo had a lot more solutions to the problem, but the rigid nature of the full game is super lame.

Hard agree. The demo made it seems like has way more chapter for it's full release. Turns out the demo is basically the other half of the game. Great concept for a puzzle game but the price is way too steep for a game that can be beat in 2 hours, less if you're really smart.
