Good job!

The voiceover is very well acted, graphic is simple but work well for the purpose of a jam game.
The distopic narration is simple but good
I enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I hope you managed to figure it out in the end!

Yes, i got It at Last.

Thanks to your hint

The puzzle difficulty was just right for this one! I got stumped for a couple minutes forgetting Luna might have a powerful sniffer, but other than that I didn't have any issues. Tidy graphics, good voice acting, and some nice speculating on AI. Luna's super cool too, I wish she made more cute noises. Definitely one of my favorites so far!

Developer

Thanks, really appreciate that! I planned to give Luna more of a voice, but ran out of time. Might give her a bit more personality in a future update!

Great atmosphere, nice acting. A little bit of extra signposting would have made the experience perfect, but I mean, these are things we need playtesting for - and when you get playtesters, the jam is already over :D

The idea of using Luna as an "external inventory object" is great. It kinda reminds me of the use of Max in Sam&Max Hit the road

Developer

Thanks, Guga! Yeah I will definitely look at better signposting later for that one puzzle that seems to be tripping a lot of people up. I guess when you spend every day working on it, you forget that what’s obvious to you may not be to everyone else!

Very entertaining game. The pixel graphics look neat and the voice acting is superb. I liked the puzzles very much. Not too difficult, but not underwhelming either. And Luna is just cute. *sniff sniff*

Personally, the blackscreens didn't bother me at all. The only problem I had was the aforementioned volume of Meg's voice actor. With the music and all, it's a bit difficult to hear at times. Otherwise, a great game all round. :)

Developer

Thank you! I will definitely look at tweaking the audio mix in a future version.

That was really awesome! Great visual style, the story and writing were really good. I found the puzzles pretty hard, but I managed to get to the end without too much struggle

Developer

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and figured the puzzles out in the end. More satisfying if you don’t get them immediately, right? :)

Wow, that was really nice, the game was fun, thé theme was cool and the sounds designs were really well done, congratulations !

Developer

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it :)

What an excellent game! I love the theme and the story you crafted. Even when I saw the twist coming it was very well executed (excellent voice actors) and had enough of an impact to be memorable. Puzzles were fun, too. One of my favorite games so far!
(If a may nitpick a tiny little bit: the audio volume of Meg was a bit too low in comparison to the other voice. But you already said you will fix that post jam. And I think you overuse the blackscreen to hide nonexistent animations. I prefer not seeing an animation and just imagining it over seeing a black screen that screams "here should have been an animation if I had more time". ;-) But that is a personal preference.)

Developer

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked it! And I appreciate the feedback, I’ll keep that in mind for post-jam improvements.

Good game! The audio mix made the dialogue a bit quiet and the socket puzzle felt a bit arbitrary but the rest of the puzzles were great and the art and atmosphere were top notch. Also July 31st has a special significance to me so it's fun that that was the circled date in the calendar.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I chose that date on purpose just for you :D

Glad you liked the art, it was my first time doing pixel art, so a bit of a learning curve.

I’ll try to tweak the audio mix post-jam.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try your game soon :)
