Important note, you may need to turn your volume up higher than normal fangames due to the balance being adjusted for speakers.
This is my entry to the I Wanna Game Jam, it was made in two days and is also my first release. It is a special work containing a fairy tale written and told by myself. Please enjoy with the whole family, and with your audio on. Also, please do not upload screenshots other than the Title screen, wouldn't want to spoil the plot!
Also, here's a test you can do afterwards if you really want to about the story, cause why not?! https://forms.gle/wFZWv9Zzj8w18MHw5

Legend of Brom is perhaps one of the rarest things in fangames, a completely new idea. As far as I know, nothing else does something like this. It's essentially an audiobook with art, and it's really interesting. The story itself is nothing super special, but has an interesting conclusion, and plays with genre tropes in an interesting way. The art is actually really well done, and a perfect accompaniment to the story. Overall, I'm so happy to see something like this, and hope more games like this come out. It's fully terra incognita for fangames, and even just non-joke stories in general are mostly unexplored as well. I'm always a fan of uniquity, and this is no exception.

even if there is no gameplay itself, the execution is something that i've never expected from an iwbtg fangame. this is pure gold.

A relaxing story-telling game made for the game jam in a very short time.
Graphics are very simple and enough to give a powerful note on the story told within the game.
It's an elegant way to make a first entry in the fangame world and also a rare treat to have a story explicitly told with overall narration.
But since it's a first game, it is interesting to note the slight contrast in the game and how the story is being told to us.
The background music does follow the action of the text very well, getting more or less active when needed during the tale, as well as the pictures / frames.
In comparison, the author feels hesitant, which is understandable given the nature of the unique challenge he gave to himself.
It is an unusual point to bring up, but if the series follows the trend, then it could be useful.
Given the story and involvment in the making process, I hope that the future that awaits the series does add some spice in the narration.
It can be descriptive and relaxed, but even that, like in dialogues, has to follow up the intensity of the story at some point.
I do think that in this case, the tone was superb for the beginning part and gets lost / fades afterwards.
When the first action frame comes up, we see the follow up with the more intense background colouring
and hear it with a more active / expressive tone in the music.
Yet we still have the same descriptive manner used in the very beginning that remains.
Spice it up ! Come on show us what you have !
By using some bits of imagination, I'm sure you can come up with something very nice easily.
It kinda needs practice, but it's more like a habit if you never tried it yourself.
I'm waiting for the next chapter and for a story warmed by your heart.

The power of stories. There is no "gameplay" and a story redacted with visuals made in 3 days tells you that it will be very simple, yet it has more charm than 90% of fangames.
Would love to see this series of games get more interactive.

The long awaited sequel to duck tales. Fun story with a lot of potential for future games in the same style. Good stuff

This fangame is the logical conclusion of Twitch streams insisting on advertising Audible to me.
It must be stressed that the only interactivity here is moving from screen to screen - changing the visual scene accompanying each section of story in the process - and triggering the sections of the plot via scrolls (signs that play audio clips, effectively).
I can appreciate what is being done here, but I can't shake the feeling this runs into the "What is a game?" semantics that the internet is so fond of. If anything, I wish this was part of a full experience, sections of story given like this between stages outlining an adventure game's journey, perhaps, but as it is right now, if you're looking for a game so to speak, I'd look elsewhere.

This is a type of interactive fangame I didn't know I wanted. You don't really get to play, but just sit back, and listen to a good story. There have been some story games made in the past but they usually only include text and as far as I know they are only available in Japanese (correct me if I'm wrong), so even if not perfect, this is a good first step.
If you're looking for an interactive story in English with an aiwana flavor, there's finally a choice for it right here!

Nice storytelling game without having to do any playing or headaches. Good music and the graphics are appeasing to the eyes. Worth a few minutes to check out.
On a different note. My profile has been blocked from sending messages. I don't know when it happened. I'll edit the post for the game of course but I wanted to let someone know from admin.)
