Whispers of the village

I love the concept of this game, but I can't actually play it because I have 486 MB display memory. You can't lower any of the display settings. I got to the first tea cup when I realized that using the mouse is vital to game play, and the lag makes the game unplayable for me. It definitely seems like a game I'd like, so thumbs up! (Plus, it's free.)

The captivating art style and emotive characters in Whispers of the Village truly make it shine. While the fortune-telling mechanic presents a neat concept, its current implementation faces a critical visual occlusion issue. Presently, placed symbols result in complete visual obscuration of underlying elements. Integrating alpha blending or employing render pass modifications for layer desaturation/dimming on lower layers would significantly enhance legibility, ensuring all stacked symbols remain discernible. Furthermore, a dynamically triggered UI element presenting a general interpretation or synthesized phrase derived from the combined three-symbol input would be crucial for establishing player comprehension and enhancing engagement with this core gameplay mechanic.

I had the opportunity to see the evolution of the game over the development and I'm really impressed by how much it reaches its objectives: It's a really nice short narrative experience that'll give you time to investigate, build up theories and try to read those characters through their visits. Of course you can see flaws through integration, small UI bugs, a little harsh onboarding but nothing that prevents you follow the whole story.

Writing seemed solid, and art style is charming. Sadly, the game was not functional. I got soft-locked at the tea stage. Where I clicked did not line up with the guide on screen. I could drag two obvious shapes into the tea after some guessing on where to click, but the game did not progress, and I had no feedback to whether I needed to do something more with my two fortunes. Other issues exist, too. Such as the text displaying as BBCode first, and updating. Hoping these final issues can be patched up, because it seems to me there is a good game here being held back by some small bugs and polish.

Got the game a while agon when i had only my laptop with me. Thought the issues why i can't get through the first scene might be because of my too weak device. But now i'm trying it on my (for this game totally overpowered) PC and can't even get through the load-screen without a fatal error. The game is just not playable at all. I don't get the 80% of other writers who give this game a thumb up while telling you that they experience the exactly same bugs as i do and can't actually play the game at all.
