Love the artstyle and how useful the Investico. Journal was! One thing though, I'm stuck at getting through the king. I know a character said it was a combination of words, and I tried (rot13) infvyvnfxbabanf but it didn't work. Did I input it incorrectly or do I just have the wrong words?
Thanks for playing! Yes, you have the incorrect word…
Hints:
- Make sure you ask to learn a new Atlantean word from anyone who has the dialogue option
- Try and speak to the Groundskeeper… he’s quite forthcoming with information…
Yeah, I talked to him and he said the password was (rot 13) xvat ehyr in Atlantean. Two people near the waterfall said the word for (rot 13) xvat in Atlantean was (rot 13) infvyvnf and the word for (rot 13) ehyr in Atlantean was (rot 13) xbabanf. It still didn't work..?
xnabanf not xbabanf!
(Sorry, I didn't know what rot13 was first time I replied, thought you'd got very confused, haha!)
So yes, whole password is infvyvnfxnabanf
EDIT: It seems that somehow the dialogue box is incorrect, but the clue that is unlocked is correct! Will have to fix that post-jam 😅
Ah, I see. Thank you!
Love the art. The camera movements are a little too harsh. I guess there was some intent to make it retro?
Thanks! Will fix up the camera post-jam, just didn’t get time in the end. 😅
Very well made, an impressive amount of content for the time limit
Thanks so much for playing! :)
I loved the art and the idea of this game! I enjoyed it so far.. unfortunately I had to start over because there was a bug when I accidentally choose an empty response it'll start an infinite dialogue and I couldn't get out of it...
also one area of improvement .. the sound volume between music and the environment could be more balanced.. I felt the sound of the waterfall was too high
great game and good luck with the jam!
Thanks for playing! The PC build should be more balanced, something was really weird with the web build and the audio…
Shame you hit a dialogue bug! Glad you enjoyed it, though :)
