I'll let you take your judgement on whether this is still worth looking at but wanted to add the context in case it's useful (The AI disclosure is soooo small and doesn't say much).

Hey! For what it's worth, we started this project on Lua instead of Pulp & my brother was involved in creating the engine from scratch. He then unfortunately had to bail the project so I am using Claude to help me with some bugs & help me understand how to tweak some of the engine. Hope this helps!

Thanks! A big part of the design philosophy was knowing that most Shadowgate PD players didn't get very far...I want people to finish DVPD so reducing friction was important. I wondered whether it'd feel too simple at first but we had some great feedback in testing!

One of the biggest changes in Deja Vu PD is how verbs work. In classic point-and-click games, you pick a verb then test it on a subject. In this @play.date version, you click the subject and see available options. It’s faster and helps players make more progress on a handheld!

In a good adventure game, the challenge should be a sort of big-picture understanding of the world, how its systems work and what your goal is.
By limiting the scope of the player's actions to only what it might be useful to do, you let them get to that big picture understanding more quickly.

I hope so! Plus I think there are less unfair losses unlike Shadowgate which is savage from like the 2nd room :-D

In Deja Vu PD, we wanted to replicate the Mac inventory screen and go one step further from Shadowgate PD. So you can place items wherever in the briefcase, rearrange, change pages etc. It works reeeeally nicely.
Wishlist now: play.date/games/deja-vu/

Yeah it's a game designed for trial and error and learning enough about how the whole game works and then almost going in for "the final run" to finish it all knowing how the puzzles work. Different times when we had less games and more time :-D

That’s the plan for this game! I found a lot of people bounced off of Shadowgate PD so I wanted to try and find design choices to make sure players can get through Deja Vu 👌
