I wonder if there is a point here.
Thank you for giving it a try. It is possible to find your name, but in the end game you are a little too at the mercy of the RNG. I have ideas for how to fix that.
Really lovely atmospheric game. I think I got both endings? Also, putting on this in the background really set the mood.
Is there a use for the invisibility spell? I couldn't find one.
Thank you so much for the comment!
There’s a possibility for the library denizens to spawn with a hostile AI, and if you’re invisible they can’t find you.
That's cool! What does that look like, given there's no health score? I'm not sure if I've seen this or not. I'm guessing you mean the ones that actively increase stress, but I could have sworn I tried using the spell around them with no noticeable difference on stress increasing; that's why I said I couldn't find a use for it.
Unfortunately, that sounds like a bug. I’ll look into it for a post 7drl release
Oh that could explain it :D Looking forward to it, very cool game either way
