Ranked from 21 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You have to navigate through doors in your house to change rooms and interact with the characters. Certain characters will float randomly through the rooms, so you never know who might be behind the door you're about to go through.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Thanks! Glad you were able to finally get everyone to GTFO :D

This game was made for introvert like me XD. However, going through all the choice to get to the exact room kinda exhausted, I think it will be better if you could add all the door inside the game's environment or in some kind of ui. Meet a bug: when enter bathroom the iphone will disappear! Did not prevent me from finishing it though!

Glad you were able to finish it! Thanks so much for the feedback, we definitely want to make it a bit easier to navigate (and the bathroom bug is something we need to fix haha)

I ALWAYS have to mention the “from scratch” aspects of indie games!! All of the assets from code to art to music and sound effects, made with effort and time and it shows when you do that. I personally don’t mind the varying pixel art graphics but it wouldn’t hurt to have consistency if planning to continue with this project! The relatability of the game’s overarching concept is so true to life for a lot of people which kinda makes this game appeal even more even if it were without the all of the pretty handmade graphics. I love all the choices you can make and of course the highlight of the game, puppy… Point and click games FTW but also it’s almost visual novel styled as well haha! All the dialogue for the spunky characters shows off my player character’s social battery drainage perfectly and the win of the ending is very satisfying. Overall I really enjoy this game and all the work put into it !!!

Lovely idea! Extra points for letting us pet doggy!

It was a super fun experience. I think you've designed it really well. I like how the game looks and the music is really good too, congrats. The idea is super good too, I think a lot of use have been in this position X(.

Really great stuff!

What's behind the door?

Really fun game about getting everyone out of the house! It could have been called "Introverts Post Party Traumatic Stress", loved the censoring in the GTFO name, liked the gameloop. Loved the dog! I think is the first game from this jam where you can pet a dog! Do you now that twitter account? You should submit the game to them xD.

Thank you! We'll definitely have to get this on Can You Pet the Dog? (@CanYouPetTheDog) / X (twitter.com) haha!

This was such a ridiculously cute game. Relatable too, I think I'll take some tips for the next time my social battery is low... The sound effects made me laugh too, they're so good. Honestly just a really wholesome experience that made me smile, great work!

Thanks so much!

interesting idea, clicking with mouse would be easier to play than using arrows and spacebar

SUCH A FUN TIME. Perfect balance between something I can relax and play while still having some kind of motivation to get to the end goal. I love the concept and the music REALLYY made it for me. Super impressive and such an original idea too?? I honestly love the style of the art, gave it a super nostalgic feel and Ruff was SO stinking cute. The power of dogs is real. I need to start telling my friends to G.T.F.O!! Would definitely play again :)

ChanTheRacerSubmitted296 days ago

Ah yes, the power of restoring sanity that all doggos have. This makes perfect sense! Nice work with this game!

Lumber Critters

Don't we all :D

This was super fun to play! It feels like a strategy game.
Ruff is my favorite character.
I would've played until I beat it, but the problem is that there's a bug that doesn't let me change what I select after finishing a dialogue.

Yeah, we're aware there are some issues with the dialogue and actually winning - we'd love to get back to this game at some point and patch it! Thanks for the comment!
