My (worthless) cyberganked early alpha feedbackby Mischief Maker 10/22/2021, 8:32am PDT
I'm sorry, ICJ, I am not the one you want feedback from. I love the writing and the visual style of your games, but this text game interface is the bane of my existence. I always hit a brick wall embarrassingly early with your games.
I got as far as entering the gun store, got a prompt to talk to the guy, got a numbered list of party members who could talk, but I hit 4 different numbers and each one got me "nobody has anything to say" or something like that.
My feedback is that from Zork to modern day, I always sucked at text adventures. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
