  • Hope I finished the game this time. Accidentally went to bed early the first time.
  • The game was really good! Very nice and concise story, I would love to find out more about the lore of the characters. Audio design was nice, very appropriate to the topic and to a pixel art game. Puzzles were pretty good, there was room for improvement for example when items showed as interactable but I couldn't do anything with them. Items like grandma's glasses could have some feedback like "nice glasses, but I don't need them" and then we would be able to go back and fetch them for grandma. The characters were nice and charming, but I'd love to find out a bit more about them. The identity of the person we were mistaken for was interesting, but our identity could be an interesting part too, like a plot twist of some sort, for example that M knows who we are and did this on purpose. The game made me smile and laugh a couple times, love that! The visuals were decent, I definitely loved the aesthetics and the design of the map. The room for improvement I see there would be customizing all the characters a bit more. It was overall very fun, well made, fully playable and nothing short of amazing for a game jam game. If you developed a multiple hour story about a weird hotel like this with more puzzles/quests, I'd definitely buy it!
  • It was a cute little game. Wish we'd discovered a bit more about M by the end, but it was enjoyable. You can sleep on the bed right away at the beginning which just immediately ends the game. I imagine that's a bug.

I enjoyed playing this, despite the footsteps sounding like farts. It's one fetch quest after another, but it's okay to play easy games once in a while and just follow the story.


Some bugs: I accidentally won the game the first time I played by simply using the bed. I guess there should have been a trigger preventing me from doing that. The inventory items may stay in the inventory after giving them away.

Sweet little game. A little hilarious that they knew he was wrong person, but they continued anyway. I completed the game, but where was the end screen or exit button? :)

Thank you I appreciate you playing! At the end, there should be a message that says, "it's time to rest", so when you go back to your room to sleep on the bed, an end screen appears. But yes, due to the time constraints I wasn't able to add an exit button, etc. although I would've loved to build it out more.
