Yeah, the game seems like it's got a small set of nouns and verbs, to show the different scenes. Feels like the dev could scale it up with a few new ones in a DLC, or let us pick and choose our own stories! 🙂
who animates all the cute little bespoke interactions, the modders? this isn't exactly baba is you where the interactions just Emerge from the rules, they're all hardcoded and hand drawn.
i actually really like this game's concept, its actually interesting to see all the different ways you can reach the same conclusion. Maybe a *tad* expensive for what it is, with more DLC chapters or updates like a 'how fast can you tell a series of stories' mode i can see that becoming a non-issue though
This game is like NL's true challenge. It's a mechanical puzzle game, yet it relies on narrative elements. It could be said that this is the first ever true fusion of story-driven and mechanics-driven elements. Like the creation of Oganesson, in many ways.
The foundation of the game is practically done, just a little bit of extra work could make this game immense. Reminds me of Baba is You, with all the interactions. The whole game felt like a tutorial for the player to make their own stories/challenges for the community to solve.
@@TheThursty100 Exactly. It's a shame that such an amazing idea may get buried, but ultimately its just not a great value compared to a lot of other games priced the same or less. I think qualms about the relative lack of difficulty have some weight as well. Even if it was up front about its length and the price stayed the same, I think it would still turn a profit while coming across as less disingenuous
this feels like the kind of game that if you were given free reign to control everything, it would be awesome to try and manipulate events into happening a la “untitled goose game”
I love this game’s aesthetic! From the art to the classical music, it really reminds me of that cool card cheating game that NL played a year or so ago
Looks like fun, but rating of this game will depend heavily on how many possibilities are there. So far it seems the stories are too linear and too short, with far too few options and side objectives. That could be fixed later though.
I thought he'd be way worse. He usually stumbles on games like these which makes us want to buy the game. But here, he breezes just through it like it's nothing. Showing how easy it really is
I think you can see the personalities by looking at their faces in the bottom bar. Edgar and Lenora have the same sheepish look, while Isobel looks devilish
@@CS0723 Why can't it be like Baba Is You and be a good and simple puzzle game that expands its concept into hours and hours of puzzle-solving entertainment?

"you can't stop me, brother" is absolutely the funniest thing to tell god after you've been brought back from the dead
This had me dying 😂
nice night in the woods pfp!
Kelsier vibes
What if God
Didn't want you in heaven
But you said
"You can't stop me, brother"
That’s why I came to the comment section 😂 12:30
I love how he fucked the "they get married as ghosts" up and just gave up instantly
Didn't even put marriage as the last scene 😂
Dude completely forgot about ghosts. Started reviving them for every story...
@@bairnonessie lost in his hubris
The game clearly has a logic structure. It would be cool if you could craft custom stories.

@@AileTheAlien puzzle maker dlc, would be hell of a time
@@AileTheAlien base game took way too long to make for me to expect dlc any time soon
@@xman9354 The demo has stuff not seen in the full release.. there's some easy DLC right there
Idk it all seems hard coded to me. Like every permutation was manually designed until literally everything was accounted for.
12:27 I was not expecting NL to REVIVE the man and make him drink again ICANT
"you can't stop me, brother" made me laugh out loud. this game is so fun
I adore Ryan's sense of humor
This could be fun as a level maker kind of game too. Less work for devs but more levels
who animates all the cute little bespoke interactions, the modders? this isn't exactly baba is you where the interactions just Emerge from the rules, they're all hardcoded and hand drawn.
You can have different emotions that can be added as contextual option.

Outer Wilds does this as well

30:25 nl solved the extra objective without noticing lol
lol I didn't notice that either
He did it at 12:33 as well.
@@blunderbuss3943 he notices at 13:01 there though
But he did notice. He mentioned it before rewriting the scene.
@@Alleroc he didnt realize that by erasing the first scene the rest fell in place to complete it. he just read it to see what he has to do
I haven’t heard “bottoms up and the devil laughs” in forever I’m dying
Nevermind the fact that it has to be true love's kiss, "would you kiss frog Hitler" said with such disaffection got me a belly laugh my goodness
Had me giggling hard too
The dev is getting slammed on Steam for the short play time. If you like this game please review positively!
The short play time isn't even the problem, it's the price point for it imo
@@TheThursty100 Just refund it after you beat it, its that short ICANT
@@TheThursty100 It's 15 dollars bro
If the length is short the price should reflect that.. if it's expensive then people should be mad

"You know who else is blind? Justice!" *puts on sunglasses*
19:01 "I would smash [frog hitler] with a biology textbook" based
it's so on brand for mister northern to complete the alternative goal without even noticing it lmao
Bro i was here when your first video on this game came out, crazy to think its finally out.
I was almost smashing my head against the wall on the kidnapping one with the knight, queen and baron.
Says that to understand the game we better of watching it then he explaining it, goes on to explain the whole plot of the game classic NL
he can't stop talking lmao
I cant believe how owned Edgar got!
i could go for some celery today
+2
+2
Northernlion figuring "complex" ones before taking ages on "kidnap, save, marry" is peak NL
What an amazing concept of a game. Thanks again for spotliting awesome games like this one that I would have otherwise never heard of
NL confessing that he would be conned by a frog into kissing it is the funniest shit. "Yeah, I'm totally a man irl bro. I just got cursed by a witch."
fuck i'm dying in a sea of the echoes of my own laughter
You gotta admit that a frog using human speech is pretty convincing.
this feels like the kind of game that if you were given free reign to control everything, it would be awesome to try and manipulate events into happening a la “untitled goose game”
Ryan's commitment to make this game as homosexual as possible gives me life.
Ryan is the only real ally
5:48 it's amazing how nl can stunlock himself on abosolutely nothing like that
Him accidentally solving the dragon puzzle by removing scenes at random is just pure gold
I love this game’s aesthetic! From the art to the classical music, it really reminds me of that cool card cheating game that NL played a year or so ago
The kiss frog CPR bit… I died! Haven’t laughed so hard at a video in a while, +1
What got me was "I'd smash him with my biology textbook"
3:25
Can’t believe my streamer would bury his gays like that. Smh my head
11:40
best nl moment for a while imo
wake up honey Lion of the northern variety posted a new video
"Would you kiss a frog Hitler" lmao
Yo.. this game was in development for a LONG time. NL played this nearly a decade ago.
Did he?
First eleven minutes I’m already laughing my ass off. I was not expecting the twist at the end of chapter 3 lemme tell you
Reminds me a bit of Little Inferno. I wonder if he played that, now I will check.
You heard it here first: it's not gay to kiss the homies if they're a frog
18:35 stans turning themselves into frogs and lining up
Looks like fun, but rating of this game will depend heavily on how many possibilities are there. So far it seems the stories are too linear and too short, with far too few options and side objectives. That could be fixed later though.
This feels like one of those games where if it gets proper dev support it will be really good in a year or so
NL: "How does it work? Rather than [me] explain[ing] it, I think you should just watch."
NL proceeds to explain it.
The fact the Amazon Delivery got it's own section on the bottom made me chuckle
6:00
You were so close! You put down 'Revive' instead of 'Wedding', it would've worked.
Thanks for showing off Storyteller! I wasn't gonna touch the game based on the screenshots.
will honey ever get a full 8 hours of sleep?
23:11 Breaking the 180° rule -2
25:55 Yeah about that...
The frog take had me cracking up!
Gamers will complain about a $15 game being too short and will literally use door dash. does anyone else see how fricked this is??
Wake up, honey, it's time for our waking up.
It's crazy how he killed every lady in this game whenever he had the chance
Least misogynistic streamer
The man did 1 stream with atrioc
pucker up, brother
4:23 a bi story
girl: "I like you"
boy: "I can't like you back I'm gay"
girl: ":( never loving boys again"
girl 2: "hi"
girl: "omg"
11:52 The Monster lady quote!
So fun knowing Edgar's Alan Poe life storyline, i mean, not fun in a jaja way but a "yeah, that fits"
1:10 jumpscare
I just woke up
as soon as i saw 'annapurna' i new i gotta pay attention
9:03 Ever heard of a little movie called "Cast Away" starring Tom Hanks and a volleyball? xD
a story-based puzzle game? sounds perfect for NL
6:37 Him just killing lenora is sending me
so, its chatGPT simulator where people request stories
Rather than explain it you can just watch for 30 secs
Proceeds to explain anyway
On the last one you can have the duchess kill the butler even though she usually dislikes the gun
I bought this game after seeing less than a minute of gameplay.
It’s so good, I can’t wait for more if there’ll be any
Edgar and Bernard OTP
Accidentally getting the "marries dragon" thing, and not noticing it is a very NL thing to do xD 30:23
Man Urinates on fellow passanger, for not being allowed to smoke.
I thought the game was already on steam for months??
So if a man got turned into a dog instead of a frog would you check if the dog is gay first?
*This nl reference might be too old😅
Purple delights, violet ends.
I have been waiting for this game forever.
This would be such a great game for young children if it weren't for all the casual murder-suicides.
Took me 5 minutes, but yea I remember NL checking this out last year :o Glad it's finally out, it's really cute c:
Now, it’s on switch, ever since March 23rd 2023
wish we got to see the end!
Glad to see that this has released finally! I remember the demo
finally northernlion is telling me to buy a new game

NL said gay rights in chapter 2
this better get an award for design

Proceeds to explain it. Never change mr. streamer.
I really love the concept
In 5.1, can you make two frogs kiss?????
Watching NL literally go through every option
Literally the most pegged ive ever been
... No wonder he likes _this_ puzzle game, fewer options...
The Hitler Frog question was so fucking funny
NL failure to comprehend 14 is painful.
Love the videos
A very unique game which suffers from lack of content.
I thought this game already out. I saw alienrock played it while back.
Is there no part 3?
Chicken nuggets chicken - a great man 2023
