short contest entry. a young girl's attempts to remove a lion from her kitchen lead to more trouble than she'd bargained for!

CONTROLS:
leftclick to move, rightclick to interact, esc to bring up menu

music is 'snow hare' by zan-zan-zawa-veia

Funny graphics. The music is nice at first, but then starts to become annoying. A bit too repetitive? I also crashed the game, while returning to the livingroom

with the lion following me.

in "room6.asc", line 43

Error: MoveCharacter: character not in current room.

I notice this happens also with other rooms (i.e. also when going back into the kitchen).

[update]
Finished! What a lovely story. A fairytale :-) Found some small little issues (typo's, walkbehinds etc) but apart from that, very cute!

Oh yeah, I know what's causing that. I made this fairly quickly and was very sloppy with the variables. I'll upload a new version soon. Thanks! I'm glad you liked the story too, haha.

also might as well mention that this was made for a contest on rpgmaker.net and when they announced the results recently this got second place
also bein pretty passive-aggressive here heh but any crits you guys would have would be very appreciated!

Haha, I liked it. It was super quick but had a nice charm. I especially liked the language such as "substantial dowry" instead of, say, "a lot of cash". By the way...

What was the cat food for? I never had to use it...

FORGOT TO MENTION:
The bird-lord was the best part of the game. Period.

It was partly a red herring intended to hint to the player that they had to

feed the lion

but also part of it was that this was made pretty quickly so I just made stuff up as I went along for the most part!

Ah okay, nifty game in either case. For something made so quickly and being as short as it was, it was very enjoyable.

Me and Nelly are also big fans of the birdlord.
