All That (Probably) Glitters

After a "Robin Hood" steals treasures from a lavish Halloween party, they find more than they bargained for. Features:

* An incredible story and character-driven visual novel!
* A fabulous pocket system!
* Seasonal and spooky feelings: 🍂🎃
* ~ 30-minute-long gameplay packed with loads of interactions and visuals! You could think of it as a Halloween special :3
* 3 endings kind of, but multiple, I mean MULTIPLE,  achievements!
* Explicit bias (implicit would've been nice to include, but alas--)
*
* Not the main PUQFFAL!!! cast! (Is that really a feature though...)
* Animal people who live in an animal world in the year XXXXXXX where humans went extinct for an unknown reason still and all mammals (and avians) evolved to have human-like features which was explained in the other games! (You don't need this information at all to enjoy the story, but congrats on reading that.)
* Interesting and (literally) colorful cast of characters you may have (not) seen before!
* And last, but not least... You know the drill ;D

Warnings:

* Screen shakes and sudden movements. (You can disable some movement in the options menu if you'd need.)
* UNintended jumpscare-y things. They were never truly intended.
* The yummy sound of bones breaking.
* Death. (But nothing too graphic or descriptive)
* Strong language.

A warning that might be a SPOILER (press me to read):

* Mentions of disownment.

As with all games, be mindful if you interpret its warnings as features, or you might be disappointed.

What does working on an entire game in under a month mean? That's why I present the "Total-Time-Worked-On-Game-For-Fun-Because-Why-Not".
(Press me to read if you'd like!):

(The app I use tells me how long I drew each thing.)

*Concepting Designs ONLY DURING Jam Period, meaning I should've done this before the jam started = 3 hours (outfits and a hairstyle)
*Backgrounds = 2.5 hours (.5 hours finding images, 2 hours editing)
*Sprites = 45+ hours (............................ Includes sketching, lining, coloring, shading, and their emotes. EMOTES. Don't get me started on implementing them--)
*Sprite and Character Implementation = 24 hours (this is how long it took to test and write the code ONLY to change their expressions in nearly every single line of dialogue, animations, and whatnot.)
*Visual Effects = 3 hours (Leaves, fireflies, fog, and dust)
*User Interface = 10 hours (3 hours textbox-work, 2 hours jam room-work, 3 hours pocket-work, 2 hours for menu-work)
*Writing = More than two hours every day... So at least 40+ hours (this includes how many times I sat down and ran through the game, cutting double the dialogue you will see in this version.)
*Testing = 20+ hours... I ran through the game from start to finish at least 50 times. I am now unable to tell if my sense of humor is funny.
*Music Composing = 4 hours (for 2 original pieces, hehe)
*Drooling Over Characters = Too much time

Grand Total: Way too much time (full-time 140+ hours)

This does not include making this itch.io game page, editing the game trailer, and promoting/marketing the game. I don't remember how long I spent on those x.x
