Starting off I 100% recommend this game, it's a fun hour long adventure with some enjoyable characters to interact with. The highlight for me was definitely learning the BBEG's backstory through their mind palace library, and the lore that I was able to piece together. The only real negative i had was the game crashed on me a couple times and I forgot to save, but there's a handy skip button so it's really a non-issue. All in all give this one a go if you've got a spare hour and wanna do some gay ♥♥♥♥ with a skeleton :).

Short and sweet :) Recommended for any fan of goofy DnD shenanigans and light hearted romcom vibes

It's well-written, has good graphics, good music, and has a playable bard class. It's short but I don't think that's a downside. The humor is good, a bit silly. It's got some difficulty to it, but it's not Mega Man. There's room in my library for many more games like this. On Linux you might find that when you press play nothing happens like it did for me. Because it's just a renpy game you can run the BardHarder.sh script and it should work.

Very underrated, hilarious story and soundtrack. Fantastic silly art too. It's short but SUPER FUN to voice act! Just uh... lower your volume once you figure out what's down in the hole...

Silly and fun game to go through! Relatively short, but you get so much personality and little tidbits of history between the players and their characters and it's delightful. Along with some nice art, of course. :)
