выглядит как внебрачный сын Undertale и Deltarune.
Думаю сыграю на следующих выходных.
жду игру, будет прикольна
Игра получилась очень атмосферной. Локации, саундтреки, всё очень круто сделано. Разработчик игры очень постарался, и не зря
Имба. Локации, саундтреки, сюжет, особенно хотел сказать про Awakening in the Woods, самый атмосферный саундтрек в игре
I played an updated version of the demo. You still have to work on the plot. Despite the fact that the most recent comment in this feed is very negative, there is some truth in it - this game lacks a plot component. There is one, yes. But on a very mediocre, childish level. There is not enough sense for traveling, there is not enough characters development. I liked that you really diversified the gameplay and the locations were not as empty as before. But this, it seems to me, is still not enough. I also noticed that there are more bugs in the new version:
1) the text of the dialogues sometimes goes beyond the edges of the textbox
2) the sounds of the dialogues do not correspond to the characters (one speaks, but the sound of the other)
3) when interacting with objects in Avery's room, a dialogue appears from another place. The same thing happens with some NPCs
4) when interacting with merchants, the allies' sprites hover in the air after jumping
5) the Bon's sprite shakes when it hits a wall or an impassable obstacle
In general, the plot is very, very lacking. Yes, this is Act I, but in it we get to know four characters at once, and we, as players, need at least some introductory information about them, substantiating their motivation to help Bon.
I believe things will improve significantly once the first act's plot is more profound and well-developed

Story
Since time immemorial, there have been two great forces and worlds: Light and Darkness, which were open to each other for a long time, but after a protracted conflict, they were isolated.
But after centuries, a Light One finally got into the World of Darkness, where they received the appearance of a skeleton. During their journey through it, they meet many of its unusual inhabitants, who will treat them differently, but from many you can expect help.
They will also be able to develop unusual abilities to simplify their path and, if possible, help others.
Featuring
A detailed story that will change depending on your actions.
Strange but charming environments that you can explore in search of something interesting or just progress through the story.
Platform gameplay with responsive controls.
RPG elements such as characterization, leveling up and battles in the style of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy.
But you don’t have to fight anyone, because you can let your opponents go peacefully with 4 simple actions: joke, flatter, persuade or threaten.
Although you can still traditionally fight them or jump on their heads, like in other platformers, and this will have its consequences.
The ability to learn new bizarre skills that will help you in your further goals.
Unusual character and environment design in Pixel art and an atmospheric soundtrack.
A feature to give key characters your own names.
Simple puzzles.
Planned features
More mini-games to slightly diversify the main gameplay.
Bosses, with whom you can also, if desired, negotiate without fighting and possibly become friends.
More unusual abilities.
More varied humor.
More characters who will show different attitudes towards you and have different roles in the plot, depending on how you go through the game.
Atmospheric moments with those key characters that you especially liked during the game.
Hugs with Avery (or whatever you call him in your playthrough).
Several endings.
Inspirations
The game is mostly inspired by Undertale, Deltarune, Chrono Trigger, Rayman, Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight in terms of gameplay and atmosphere (yeah, that's probably a lot).
Normenhill is also inspired by some Cartoon Network shows and old Soviet cartoons in terms of visual style.
At the moment, only Act I of Chapter 1 is available, but the full version of it will be released here someday.
