Gah he's such a little boy I can't. I just got the perfect ending, but I don't think I'll be able to pull myself to do the bad ending ;-; Really great read and hope that you can keep making novels about little guys :DD
Hahah, thank you for your kind words! ^_^
Amazing game.
I got so immersed that I ended up playing for 2 hours straight.
I tormented Ellis in my first play through and got the evil ending...... Sorry
After that, got the perfect ending and good ending.
Just 1 ending remains now. Still figuring out how to get it though.
Ahahah, I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing! :D
Great game. I hope Ellis forever lives in the perfect ending.
Watching your video made me so happy!! Thank you for playing Ellis: The Anxious Lion! <3
greetings, I loved your novel. i want to hug this poor lion.
Hahahah, thank you! <3
Hello, I really liked your novel. I am a translator from Russia, and I am involved in a project "TranslationVN" to translate short stories for Russian mortals, and I would really like to translate your story into Russian, can I do it?
Hello! Thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately, however, this game was made for a game jam that does not allow me to make drastic changes to the game once it's submitted. Sorry... I wish you the best of luck with your project! <3
What a great game, my congratulations to the chef. 🤌
My compliments to the waiter ❤
its really interesting how saying certain things branches out to another option, its like im fleshing out my character as i go
ellis is too cute for his own good, what i would give just to hold him in my arms and make him feel safe TT
i love what you and your team have done with the little amount of time given for this jam! the music was enjoyable, and the art was really nice, it gives kind of an undertale vibe haha
Thank you for your kind words! I had fun implementing that choice mechanic! And drawing Ellis was one of my favorite parts <3
They're really neat people! I had a lot of fun working with them ^_^
Thanks for playing!!
