Nice game! I enjoyed the visuals and audio a lot. Just one thing: at the end, I think the last sentence should read:
"The guards led him to the throne, where he sat to be crowned."
Keep up the good work!
Wow. That was awesome. Love the storytelling and the way it worked out. =o)
Thanks all !
Tyro> As this is a grammatical error I think it's not cheating to correct it so... fixed ! Thanks =)
I really like this game, but I'd really like to see it go further. I like the light casting. I'd like it to be longer and more difficult, and perhaps multiple paths you could follow. Great game overall!
Excelent Audio, Great story, cool art. a very well made game!
the only thing i can say as a feedback is the dragon, he need some kind of dead animation or to disapear.
So short, so good! <3
I loved the art, the story, the music. So make a sequel, maybe?
Ahah, it was fun and well written :)
I liked that the music starts with the action
I absolutely loved this one! The effect of highlighting to see what's going on is a brilliant way to invoke curiosity and tell a story. The graphics and audio all work well together.
My only comment - the font is very difficult to read, and may make some miss the story.
Oh, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. The graphical gimmick is pretty cool, and the audio fits really well. I love that you can have two different stories if you play through it silhouetted or lit up. Great work!
Wow, I was truly amazed by this. Awesome technique, idea, execution and story :O. I loved it. Only problem is text can be hard to read, but that's such a small complaint. Bravo!
It's the new Don Quixote! Great idea and implementation. Loved it! :)
Cute little game! A bit too short on the gameplay in my opinion but whatever, a cool experience!
Really enjoyed the story, plot could do with a little more depth and better pacing (doesn't need to be as quick) but overall great experience
Nice little game :) I really enjoyed it, simple and the narration was good. ( Thanks for the french version BTW ). I also liked the music :) Too bad it was so short :(
Good job!
Excellent, a genuinely good narrative game! Very minimal too, every action the player has helps tell the story in ways only possible for an interactive medium. 5 stars!
Haha, missed the narrative trick during first playthrough. Excellent idea!
WOW! I did not use the click mechanic the first time! Afterwards, I realized what it meant.
Wow! Not really a game, but it is really cool interactive narrative! Very cinematic. I would call it the real piece of Art! :)
Nice one, Lythom. I like the lighting effects, and how you worked that into the gameplay.
Man, for such a simple little game the narration was great. Loved the interface and twist! Kinda made me sad. Only wish it was longer! Great work!
Well, I wasn't expecting that... overlapping the 2 stories like you did was actually pretty smart ! Great and innovative way to tell a story, I loved it !

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Sublime narration ! Bravo !
