About the Story

An accusation against the voiceless.

500-word game made in a couple days for Neo Twiny Jam. Sort of multiple endings, but they all lead to the same place.

Cover art is a composite of the wall of a Roman villa and a Greek glass eye.

Beautiful text styling with a kind of parser like structure, July 20, 2023

This game has an amazing concept with a few snags here or there.

It was written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.

You are a witch facing execution for the death of a boy. Your throat has been cut, but you are able to piece together words from those spoken by others in a form of mimicry.

These words are shown as golden, shinging letters floating in a void. Selecting them is simple, and it looks very nice.

The difficulty is the interaction; you can form sentences from words (and later words from letters) but there are so many possible orders and combinations (I think 1000 or so combos are available on one page) that it can be hard to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Definitely one of the most visually nice games I've seen in a while, would love to make my games look this nice (especially for a title screen or something).

Contest or Agreeā€¦ you will be found guilty., June 25, 2023

Brought to face council for the murder/drowning of a boy, you are asked to answer those accusations. You have but little words in replies, always leading (it seemed) to your demise.
I think the interactivity aspect of the entry (hover-disappear + fake parser) overshined the story.
