Temple of Trials

It is a very good game, the point system behind the ending is quite interesting and well tought. The TF could have been better handled in order to make it more relevant to the plot, but right know it is still enjoyable. The translation is good and I didn't found any mistake.
In the end I found the game quite entertaining. However the aesthetic of the game could be made less bland by adding some details in the rooms.

I really don't like how the endings are handled. The fact that you included a guide to all the endings in the initial release means that you knew how obtuse they are. Either way, I don't like how the TFs are handled. It feels like you tried to implement the TFs into the gameplay but the mechanics of it are rather shallow. My biggest gripe is a spoiler...

Why is there no way to win? It makes the unique stat system feel meaningless because of how easy the game is. Plus with how all the endings are handled, what was the point of the intro? It has nothing to do with the main story, and I just don't find things satisfying. It doesn't help that I wasted half an hour grinding trying to beat the end boss. It would have been neat if removing his buffs prevented his curses from working.

The game takes a rather different approach.

The way he focuses on accumulating points until he reaches the end and having a kind of personality test is really cool! :D

I was very happy to see that he won a special ending for defeating everyone and never running away (Although I don't like inanimate, so I'd rather have become the dragon's pet than a statue of him XD) in addition to testing new things to catch others endings are pretty cool!

Oh, I don't know if anyone has scored this, but I thought it was cool how balanced the game was... I know it's weird praising this in a game with the focus kind of just on TF, but I thought it was cool to comment, since I REALLY liked that part RPG

However... The only problem for me is that the game is kind of fast towards the end, getting your transformation and having your mind erased (Mind erased, Which I don't like either, but that's purely my opinion, obviously) has a mini scene and it's over.

It would be nice to be able to walk around the new house a little bit, maybe fight the cutscene fight like the monster you've become and... Maybe not already be controlled, but change your mind during the fight like "Wow... That's good. .."

And my favorite ending was the ghost, but not turning the ghost, but the cerberus, since it is the only transformation that obedience to the owner comes from other means than brainwashing >.>

In general, a game that surprised me a lot, I would say 8/10 since its proposal was well achieved :3

Very interesting game and had a lot of fun playing it. That being said, I do agree with the previous comment that...

...the fact that there's nothing that felt like an Absolute Final Thing is a little bit of a letdown. The Dark Dragon Statue or Unicorn endings are probably the closest ones, but only because you need a lot of effort to achieve them rather than any sort of narrative closure, because the end result is usually more or less the same. (After doing those two endings, I just stuck with actually using the Ending Hax Tool, lol.) Nonetheless, I still had a lot of fun playing around with different fights and seeing how things interacted.

Getting the Unicorn ending without the tool is definitely doable, but you need the right strategy and a lot of luck on your side; it took me about an hour of resets on the Birdman fight to get through because of the crows giving the Blind debuff quite often. After that I just spammed Summon Crow and got through the Imp fight fairly easily.

Finally, lets try out!
