Some time ago we were prototyping a dialog system for our main game - Hank: Drowning on Dry Land. The goal was to allow players to conduct conversations without interrupting the core gameplay and enable NPCs to actively respond to the hero's noteworthy actions. During our experiments we created this little experience. It may not be much, but we really liked it so we decided to release it as a free game. Hope you guys enjoy it!
