Trapped in a Fantasy (S21 Sketch)
My first game! It's almost to a final, just missing a couple of backgrounds so it might not be much!
Hope you like it! :)
Central Idea: You're trapped in another world with no memory of who you are and no recognition of where you are. So you set on an adventure through the Enchanted forest in an effort to recover forgotten memories.

Love the story it is like a novel but with challenges. It feels like It is playable all the way to the end. It is well made with the text color and the pictures make it clear to understand where you are. I love your imagination of the fantasy creatures
Oh super interesting, I tried this one just with text before and I loved the riddles at the bridge.I like that there's even more with the memory stone, it actually took me a while to realize you could lose hp? The pictures help a lot with feeling where I'm at in the world. I reached "The End...?" and I'm interested in seeing more!
I made it to "The end..?" and to the castle! The riddles are pretty clever, a few of them genuinely stumped me and I had to do them by process of elimination. I love the graphics! They're great for visualizing the scenario and feeling more immersed in the story :D
Nice world building and backgrounds! I had a lot of fun trying to solve the riddles, they made me want to keep going back to figure them out. Definitely kept be engaged. Wonderful job!
Viability: I can play to the end but there are a few errors with the text entries!
Presentation: The pictures add to me being able to set myself up in this world. Very neat!
Theme: It seems to be an exploration based escape "room" with a fantasy twist. I think it's nice and light hearted.
Engagement: The images immediately brought up my engagement factor. I think cleaning up the text will help it feel much more engaging!
+1 with using images. They can be used to subtlety deepen the moral choices. How should players react to the appearance of places, objects and people?
The riddles were very well made. They made me think, but didn't feel outrageously unfair. I feel like you're going for a very narrative centric game, so I'd definitely work on getting some images into your game as soon as possible.
This is a solid start! I enjoy the riddle mechanic, and you are certainly setting rewards for specific behaviors. It feels as if being courteous and/or timid is not always the right answer, right? Establishing player choices like these is what makes an interactive narrative have a character of its own.
Like the world building so far, nice and descriptive. The riddles are fun, though the potential answers could be a bit trickier (mainly riddle 2) You've got more of a passive voice in the first two or three passages, would be good to rearrange them to be more active like the rest of the story.
Hope you decide to continue this!!
Yeah I definitely wanted to make the answers more trickier and add a couple of more options just so that it's not limited to two so I shall work on that and keeping the passiveness more constant! I feel like it'll be interesting if I continue this forward so I'm pretty certain that I will. Thank you so much!
YOOO THIS IS COOL AS HELL!!! You went way above what I was expecting everyone to do for these little practice games!! Great job, I'm actually kind of invested now XD
Thank you so much!! I was worried if I wasn't putting enough or where I should cut off so I kept on going xD but that makes me so happy to hear thank you!!
