  • I really liked the story until the not-so-believable final plot twist, but I do have to admit it was pretty original! I think it would benefit your game if you left it on some cliffhanger as well, because honestly I would play it if it was longer or if you ever released a full version of it. The audio was great. Puzzles were also good, a lot of fetching and bringing things over but in a very interesting way (like the people's names, and some surprising moments). I think the characters were charming as well. The visuals reminded me of Stardew Valley which was lovely, but maybe you could try looking into adding some spin to it so it feels a little bit more original. Overall I had fun playing this game, didn't encounter a lot of bugs, and I think it was really solid! Very nice job!
  • Well done and good use of the theme. I enjoyed the interesting emotional dynamics in the game. Was quite fun.
  • Very "To the moon"-ish, sweet with a surprise (though bit rushed, perhaps) ending. Good job!

Fun use of the theme! I like how you explore using a main character who is up to no good.

Great premise and making use of the theme. Sadly got stuck on the nameplate part, but it showed promise! Could have used some hints system or more contextual clues, in case you get stuck.

Thanks for playing! It may have not popped up for you, but in the random dialogue the old man sprouts on occasion, he talks about storing bits of scrap metal in the shed.

I got stuck for a moment, as mentioned through Discord, but managed to complete it anyway. Heh, looks like you did a twofer! Nice work!

Thanks for playing. I'm going to review the code where you got stuck for a post jam release.

I got some "Little Red Riding Hood" vibe from this game. First impression of the first house is "Whoa, really very big house!", lol. "My current wheels ... are way too large to use this playmat" and "...a jar of pee... " and "[Person's name] , you mistook me for someone who cares", lol. Good game!
