A Monster's Insight

someone have the OST link?

Oh man, this was fun. I loved each fight - especially how the puzzles and answers change depending on which route you take. It was interesting to piece together the bits of information we're given. I actually felt more sympathetic for the interlocutors the more I talked to them. 

I think Fernweh's was my favorite, although I went with the intellectual route and honestly had no idea what was happening in that conversation. 

The last fight (not even gonna try to spell that name) was hilarious going for the high charm/supremacy/intellect, low reputation route. Just the two of them trying to out-smug each other. I had trouble trying to pass the stat checks though. I think it took me 5 tries before I finally found a way to win, and ended up with the Moon ending. 

Just finished my first playthrough, I thought it was a really enjoyable experience! I loved Fernweh, and the worm man who's name I can't ever remember either. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more of this universe if another game came out, it was a brilliantly fun time with enough of a challenge to it even on the easiest settings.

This game felt so difficult to me since I am also unable to read social cues in real life. I loved the concept and the music and everything but this gameplay is really unsuited to me! I downloaded the entire soundtrack though because it seriously slaps

This game is a hidden indie gem. It is fantastic every way. This desperately needs a full game with more story and characters to meet.  

I liked this game!

SPOILERS, lots of SPOILERS, below....

Fernweh's debate confused the hecc out of me. I got confused after a bit--although I knew the two were talking about reality and what is real, but the nuances flew right over my head and I glazed over :p but it was extremely entertaining to see Fernweh pitch a fit when I failed to convince him, and he chased me out. For some reason, it was so funny hehe 

I liked Fernweh's design! His mistiness was super neat and pretty. I also just love misty purple stuff. Although I screwed up the first time I played vs Fernweh, I found it easy to grasp how to play, and overall I enjoyed the debate unu

For the second debate, with Cor Meum, I enjoyed this one more! I could follow the conversation and digest it on a more deeper level. I also just liked it better, especially when Cor and Meum split apart. I could kind of sense that things would be heading in the Splitting direction, and I eagerly awaited the car crash I knew would happen when Cor and Meum had their lovers' spat. For my first playthrough, Cor blew up Meum, and I didn't feel sorry in the slightest :p Especially after seeing that Cor and Meum turned their hive buddies into meat puppets! I also thought the little bit of lore about Cerebrum was super neat! Cerebrum=brain, and Cor=heart; additionally, one may say the brain "rules over" the heart; and Cerebrum was the better hivemind than CM! I don't know if it was intentional but, I thought the association was cool.

Finally was Deulithoteq. I struggled a lot with this, as I kept on dying over and over, and it was frustrating to try and figure out what I was doing wrong. Exacerbated by this was the fact I had saved over my pre-debate save, so I could only try from the middle ;; eventually, I had to restart the game, and I used a walkthrough. I loved Deulithoteq's debate too!! I thought all the lore was super neat, and the Sun End that I got was satisfying. But I wanted to see MORE! still i understand that u had limited time hehe

The art was top notch! I loved the shading, and the palettes for each debate stage. I liked the misty purples for Fernweh, and the reds and oranges for Cor. For Deu the pinks and greens and browns were very matchy, and pleasing to look at! I loved the pink orb

The music was cool, as well! the sfx especially. the saving noise made me giggle-it sounds just like the doorstoppers on my house that I used to twang and laugh at. 

I also enjoyed the writing! I did have an issue with the first debate, but I feel that would be more of an issue with my ignorance of philosophy than an issue on your part. otherwise, i loved the writing, very engaging and fun to read. i enjoyed the silver-tongue's characterization. they were snarky and their reactions were golden--especially to Fernweh's delusion. the mc's exasperation at FW made me giggle. the parasite Keychee was soo cute and adorable. I wanted to squeeze their cutie cheeks <3 

Overall, this game was very enjoyable, and I loved it! Good job to all the devs, and I hope to see more in this universe, perhaps!!!

edit: also thx for posting the ost!!!! i will listen to it now uwu

My partner and I enjoyed your game! Really unique in art and style of game. Really like the dialogue also. Really felt like the characters while we voice them. Keep the good and looking forward to other games you've made.

I got an error message when I answered vena cava in the questioning section of cor meum. I think the defined name of The person talking was misspelled. I can screenshot the error message if you think it would help.

i love this game so much, from the unique and cool artwork to the awesome soundtrack (which i've been listening to on youtube), this game is definitely one of my favourites ever. i loved all the different aspects of it, especially the 'insight' minigame. usually, i'm not a big fan of stat-raising games, but i loved everything about a monster's insight. i will be recommending this game to everybody i know. great job ! 

really great atmosphere, world building and dialogue. this is a solid foundation for a cosmic world.
