What is your favorite Final Fantasy and why is it 8?
lol, funnily my main exposure to triple triad is FF14. Can’t speak for Icarue via his role in this, though
Cool game 7/10, great story, great characters (even though there's, like 3, which isn't a bad thing btw), cool gameplay that kind of reminds me of skystones. Heres one or 2 things I would maybe like to see if this was ever updated.
a way to quickly skip dialogueSkip button more obvious for those that just want story.
Save and load buttons.
some kind of in game guide for how 2 get endings
Otherwise a great game.
The story line seems super interesting and is played out in a unique and engaging way, however, the design of the game they force you to play everyday is so poor and not thoughout. Like seriously, how did the creator think it would be a good decision to make a completely RNG based game AND making it GAME ENDABLE without even a save feature. 2/10 would never play again.
Did you play the game? Its not RNG based, its a card game. There's also saves at every day with a hyper fast forward option.
There's like 5 difficulty levels including a literal "skip" one for those who prefer to just see the story.
I'm happy you enjoyed parts, but the difficulty option is literally there before every fight, so I'm not sure what else we could've done to address the issues you pointed out since multiple of them seem outright inaccurate
L review, bro literally doesn't understand how to use the difficulty selector
How do you get past day 2 without getting ending 02
You need to actually reply to the other coworker by selecting the option on the desk without progressing.
Oh, thanks I guess that shows my attention span.
this is a great game
also maybe im just stupid, but i have no idea how to get ending 1, at 17/18 at the moment
Ending 1 was either lose the card game 3 times, or take the boring route to not engage at end of day 2
thanks, just got the last ending, this has been an amazing game
also, am i the only one who reads nightshift managers text in the fnaf phone guy voice?
haha, yeah that specific part might've taken a slight inspiration from it. Happy you enjoyed it!
I had found a possible bug where on the first day you get 3 cards and can only select 3 and one dupe making it so you can't continue unless you skip.
I restarted and was able to get more that 3 cards.
While I'm definitely not a card game girl, the narrative elements were more than enough to keep me going longer than I thought and by the time I remembered what I was doing I had already beaten it!
The ending I got was so cute and romantic that I don't think I'll be seeking out the others, it really did create a perfect and happy image of two happy ladies. Very much appreciated the writing here, it was great quality.
Thanks for a surprisingly fun and engaging time!
Does anyone have anytips for winning i suck at the card game
You can set the difficulty on the card game to “skip” if you’re not enjoying that part
Is there an ending where I get tg'd?
Multiple, yes
Really? Man, I am having a hard time finding those ;P
Each night can branch off in one of two ways, so the branching is relatively straightforward to track by ending number if you leverage that.
cool, will take note!
The windows version works great with wine on linux
