Hopeguard

This game changed my life, I'll never be the same again. Every night I lie awake unable to stop this game from consuming my every thought. I wake up in a cold sweat clutching at my arm making sure its still there, the face of the dragon burned into my eyelids. How can I stop this cycle of revenge, how can I use these lessons to fix the world. This might be my destiny. When someone berates me with words of hate I look at them with pity, they don't see the world as I do. They don't understand that they are slaves to a cycle that eats away at our very souls. I must cure them. I must free them. I must be their saviour. I must be their Hopeguard.

had a Quebecois yap in my ear while playing it (who helped make the game). And for it being free and only taking 30 minutes to play its quite nice. Know that it was made for a school project and a bit buggy but still so so so so so so so cool to see the visuals and everything in it worth the 30 minutes

Now then the likes, the story is good it's just a simple knight is sent out to slay a dragon, has an existential crisis and learn something, it's been done before but here it's done pretty well for such a short game. I also like the themes of overcoming adversity, learning to be a better person and question authority, those are some good themes. The gameplay is good it starts off pretty simple you have a sword and shield and you use your sword to cut and slash your way to the dragon, but after you lose your sword arm you have to come up with new ways to get back to th…

Add a save file or at least a warning that this game doesn't have a save file! Still, a great little indie game that just overuses laser puzzles.

30 minutes long game with some easy puzzles I loved the narration, but I really dislike optimization of this game The ending felt like a nothing burger to me... while the game itself was really good and the story was alr the ending was something I didn't feel at alll... 6.5/10 to me
