Interesting game. Some thinking required to figure out the clues. Good balance of story and puzzle.
Reviews for "Hodge/Podge Transformer"
None of these puzzles are immensely hard if you simply listen to what people are saying and learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Terrible fears are conquered by speaking to people.
The Dumper knows something important.
One room's puzzle's solution is in another room.
The show must go on.
The buttons in front of the torches must be stepped on in the right order. People on the left will give you critical hints as to what order that is. You know, after the elements have been engendered.
PPSBO
too much reading.
i love the aesthetic. i just wish it wasn't so dialog heavy.
you can communicate the same with less words. and sometimes less is more.
i can tell i would probably have loved this but i just don't have the time
Beneath all this text there is a cool puzzle. Try to ease on the words, like separating the phrases into different talk bubbles instead of dumping everything in one single load, because it was just too much too read (so I didn't read all, and just searched for the key words to know what I had to do).
I understand you wanting to develop your world through the NPCs, but you can also rely in the visual or sounds (which you did to create the atsmosphere) aspect more instead of writing blocks of texts and delivering it all at once.
(It's just that I'm writing for a game now and I'm fearful of doing that)
Oh dear old ATARI MAME glory ... glorious Ventura
