A really fantastic voice acted game! All the little minigames were really nice and simple and the voice acting was really genuine! Nice job! I think if there was a way to know or a hint to where the issue is at thatd be nice :D

Very fun game! I really enjoyed the way the camera was set up. The dialogue was well written and I really liked the voice acting! The tasks were simple but interesting to do, reminds me a little of Among Us. The art was simple and charming and overall the game fit the theme pretty well. Good job!
Fun game, but it became repetitive pretty quickly and was really slow to get going.
That was fun. I thought game will get repetitive quickly, but increasing frequency of events kept it interesting. Good job!
Nice art, voicing and SFX. Really liked the game.
Nice art and gameplay!
Just a little confused about how the tasks work. I walked back and forth and completed everything as quickly as possible, but the new tasks just respawn, and I can't finish them in time to satisfy my boss. Maybe you could set a limit on the number of tasks players need to complete for the day. It would make it clearer how much is left to do.
Something always go wrong while you're house sitting, so this is a perfect fit for the jam theme!
The gameplay itself is quite simple but very engaging, frantically going from room to room to fix a problem, challenging but really fun.
The voice-acted voicemail is very impressive, it really helps immerse the player to the world of a suburban household.
Overall this was an entertaining experience, great job!
Madly impressive for a game jam game! It just works! :)
Pace could be a bit faster in general (especially in the beginning) but really I'm just nitpicking here.
That is a really amazingly built game considering it was made in just a week, congrats on that! I had a lot of fun playing.
I think that not showing immediately where the problem is adds more challenge to the game so I have no problems with that, only thing I'd have to say is maybe with more minigames it would have been a bit more fun (but it's also fun the way it is already).
atmosphere was also really cozy even though by the end of the week I had to run left and right to keep the house clean XD.
I managed to finish the game with a four star rating!
Good game! But as mentioned in previous comments, it would be nice to have clearer indications of which room has a problem. You could also add mini-games like dusting, rearranging books, or vacuuming. It's frustrating that no matter how hard you try, people are still not satisfied : ( Overall, 9 cleaned toilets out of 10))
Incredible foundation which can lead to multiple bigger title! Kid you not, I felt the vibe of "Five night at Freddy's" while playing this game(?).
Combination between tasks, minigame, the rush of time and the anxiety when moving into the (wrong) room open up many possibilities. Imagine making this into a horror game!
Overall, very fun and enlighten experience!
Really well made, it was really overwhelming by the end though and constantly having to guess which rooms held problems made it even more stressful, I felt like I was doing all I could to fix things and still felt like I failed in the end.
