This game was really interesting. The setting was pretty dark and the characters were all unique. I really like Ziva and understand her reason for not being fond of the sword. Rok and Dimas's conflicting reasons for having the sword was also interesting and really put me into a dilemma on choosing who to give the sword to. The gameplay complemented the story by being a tactics rpg genre. Enjoyed this game and hope you continue making more!
All your favorite tragic fantasy tropes bundled into one short game that can be finished within an hour. A smart and concise contemplation on the price of honor and legacy.
Thank you so much for playing!! I'm really glad to hear it resonated with you. It was weirdly fun to write this one, even if so much is happening on screen, haha.
This game is so solemn and thoughtful! Really menacing, creepy atmosphere that draws you in and is well-complemented by the intensity of the art style and the music :D Really Makes You Think about tough decisions with no simple answers, cycles of anger and sacrifice and tragedy, and making a choice for you.
I especially enjoyed the sprite art and the battle animations <3!!!
I'm so glad to hear that the main themes of the work are coming through. It was fun and cathartic to write this one. I always find fictional media that deals with tough decisions (especially ones in which there really isn't a right answer) to be very comforting. When things are so messy in the real world, seeing only perfect versions of lives can feel suffocating, in a way.

Aww so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!
And am glad you were able to figure it out! Not sure if you still need it, but I did end up writing a walkthrough for players who might need a little guidance for how to pass some of the levels. https://heiden.itch.io/ziva-and-the-wolves/devlog/357489/walkthrough
