V. Girl is a short, text-based, adventure game, where you have to sacrifice your virtual girlfriend to your own lord.

It is a very deep game, please try to take it really seriously..

Hey there, I played your game and really enjoyed it! It was funny, easy to play, and very immersive despite the fact, you used just this little resources, but in a great way! Beautiful entry, thank you for making this game :)

Really enjoyable experience. Maybe it would have been cool if your decisions would have a sliiightly bigger impact on what happens. It feels a bit linear when basically all of your options say the same thing, but it was very entertaining and good looking nonetheless.

I'm impressed that you managed to do really great game using your conversation mechanism and your creativity! Even without images I still saw everything (because of your backgrounds / fonts / etc). Moreover these characters comments like "you have beautiful font" or about nice sound of writing letters are pretty amazing! I like your game, you did great job, really! :D

I think the highlight color should have bright and the default dim for selection text, and the choices could have been more varied/interesting, but you certainly nailed the vibe of the characters, and I loved how the effect followed the mouse.

Maybe consider a different color for the red part to pop out of the background more.

The sound was also subtle but effective.

The best text game I ever see on Ludum Dares. I like visual, music, plot and humor.

I'm not so sure about some of the options. I would have liked some variety, as all of them seemed a bit ... crude. The backgrounds were nice, and I liked the use of different fonts. The fonts did a good job matching personalities, and was a great way of distinguishing between characters. Nice design that unlike many other text adventures you opted to avoid repeating character names at the start of each message; your use of fonts is a very smart way to avoid this! I would have liked some opportunity to speed up text, as sometimes it was slow. All of the ... and stuff really slowed down the experience, and if I was to replay this, I could imagine that being frustrating. Otherwise, an interesting idea, but the options could have used more variety. Keep developing! :thumbsup:

I saw this game earlier on stream, and it seemed awesome. The visual side of the game looks beautifully tied together, even when it's a text-adventure, the colors and effects create the mood perfectly :D The story itself was fun and inspiring, I'm always happy to see text-based games here when I personally too want to learn storytelling. Overall a great entry, good job!
