As someone that reads a lot of old English for fun, this immediately put me in the same headspace as when I'm enjoying Shakespeare or Cyrano or etc. The wit, the subtleties, and the humor that comes from sudden and stark profanities all felt familiar and welcoming.
I'm inspired by the storytelling, how you told so much with so little, and it makes me want to reflect on my own work. Great little game, will be playing the other acts shortly.
I love the use of Old English here, it really adds to the atmosphere! The tale of Bluebeard was nicely interpreted and I could feel the intensity from the get-go! Nicely written! I liked it a lot. :>
Great
This was fantastic! The use of older English was so well done here, it felt like I was interacting with an old play! The dialogue is just immediately tense, as I tried to figure out how best to catch the man unawares. I'm really interested in seeing the second act!
Thank you! Big shout out to Tommy Sullivan-Lovett, my good friend and resident Early Modern English expert in my life.
This slaps severely, and not just because the VVitch is my favourite movie ever. I think you captured the language of the time really well and I think the formatting was effective in conveying a back and forth between two people who know how to manipulate each other (even if one is better at it than the other). It felt almost like reading a stage play :) And the sudden shift in dialect at the end was morbidly hilarious--I'm looking forward to the other 2 acts
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy where the story goes :)
