Hey, yeah seems like we've made pretty similar games lol. The writing in yours is really great too and made me chuckle a few times.

One thing I tried with mine was to have some interactions between items when you throw some things, and I think you could've really benefited from doing that too, especially with the cat (first thing I threw out, I have no regrets. I kept her bed though, it was the only soft place remaining in the house without a couch). But the "psychology test" approach you took is super interesting!

Another thing, you might want to find ways to speed up the text for people who just want to get rid of the stuff. Like setting the visible text to the string's length if the player presses space again.

Otherwise, the art is great, the lack of sound and music is too bad but I didn't mind that much. I had a really good time

Submitted

Beautiful art, there are some really trick questions, loved the design, great game overall

Submitted

Great game with a lot of personality! I enjoyed sifting through things and reading about them!

Submitted

Really interesting to hear why the items were there in the first place. I would go to get rid of something and then think dang that's actually a good reason to keep it. Shows how hard it can be to clean up.

I liked the visuals but I had a hard time understanding if I'm trying to fill the shoes of a character or clean the room how I would clean it. The logic the game had was not the same logic I had naturally so it became harder to understand if I needed to roleplay as a character or if I should be acting upon my own ways. It was incredibly confusing with decisions like tossing out clothing as it seems one would naturally just put into laundry rather than completely toss it away. Objects like rocks I would of enjoyed moving to a new location rather than leaving it in the same spot to help with the cleanliness rating since I'm all ready making large decisions like throwing out a piano that could naturally be fixed. I think I understand the theme with the game but it feels watered down due to the ambiguity of what you gain by throwing everything away? I appreciated the map feeling like a tv until you clicked on it and was told it was a map, that felt cleaver with the remote being next to it. Good use of pixel work there! Well done!

First of, the visuals are amazing! Fantastic design, and you took inspirations from a really relatable topic! The game felt quite empty without any sounds or music. A little lo-fi ambient sound would have really sufficed. It's a good psychological test. Well done mate(s)!

Submitted

Cool experience!!

that was fun until i threw away my cat

Submitted

Cool idea. Some of the item descriptions are really funny.

Submitted

This was  fun just seeing this package of a story! 

Submitted

Cool idea. I think this game can combo with some upbeat beats.

Submitted

I like it when you have a little bit of story, not just acction, so I appreciated your game, but maybe a little track on the back, like it's coming frome other room would be nice!

Anyway, Good Job! :)

Submitted

Really cool game it would have been great if there was some music.

Submitted

Love the litle texts its a cool concept

but a litle bland, maybe add some music?

Submitted

NOOOOO WHY DID IT ACTUALLY LET ME THROW AWAY THE CAT OMG i just wanted more funny texttt. 

And then the game attacked me when I wanted to throw away the laptop cause it said "Where will the cat sleep?" Bit- I DON'T even have a cat anymore!!!! I'm crying. Forgive me, friend.

Anyways, it is an entertaining and calming expericience. I did not expect it to be like this :D

:DDD I never thought that a player would actually see all of the text for throwing away the cat! She's so sweet and nice! You really are a monster!!! I'm glad you found the game relaxing, hope your jam went well!

Submitted

I wish their was some background music, but I loved it anyway! The writing was really funny, and I found myself playing till the very end.

Submitted

I was completely invested in finishing lol, though i wish the text was bigger

Submitted(+1)

Despite the lack of sound I kept playing because of the fun writing and strangely addicting gameplay
