played oct 21st for rpgmaker october

this will represent both wyer 1 and 2, as 2 is more like a built in part 2 to the story at this point anyway. went for this after an outcry since jack king spooner was a composer on that (he did a very good job for his tracks on that, even better on this), and gotta say this is my fav game by him out of his stuff ive played so far, which are the ones i played for today + dujanah. v crass and just short of antagonizing, right down to tasks it asks of you or obstacles it puts up to clearly annoy you, but its rly hilarious and certainly makes you feel like you're in hell. and i ran into a glitch/feature where you can skip a lot of stuff n i had to replay up to a certain point to get context again, which felt right w the experience. it feels slightly less heady than other jks games but is far from stupid, n if anything i most liked how it can make the irony tinge n general biliousness so ever-present w/o it overwhelming jack's aphoristic side too much. loved it n very fitting for halloween

btw jack has a game he's recently put up a kickstarter for here! if you arent gonna buy these games at the itch links i provide, at least throw something his way :)
