Oh yeah! It was like I was at my friend's wedding again.)

Fresh take on managing social anxiety on a big day with a clever mix of humor and stress management. Overall, it's an engaging simulation with a simple charm, but refining the difficulty curve and UI responsiveness could elevate it even further.

Submitted

I had a great time playing! 100% Done! I found the camera mechanic especially creative.

Submitted

Nice game! I am sure if you had more than 7 days the outcome would have been a lot more polished :-) I would make the game a little faster, and fix the window/viewport to scale with the screen size! Besides that It was nice :)

Submitted

Great sim! Well designed. 

You might want to change your stretch mode to "viewport" in Godot settings, because the game appeared very small on my Mac..

A very great concept, original and strong, I really enjoyed  figuring all the ways to mess up (got up to 4, wonder what was the last one...), great sims-like voice acting too ! Well done :)

Thank you so much for liking my game!! Not sure which four of them you have found, but I am so glad you played it thus far. Here are the five mess-ups: [Spoiler Alert]  1. Didn't go to bathroom and the bathroom countdown timed out. 2. Click the wine button for the 4th time and get drunk. 3. Mental breakdown when the stress bar is full. 4. Talk bubble countdown timed out and the guest is offended. 5. Bad photo

What a nice game, the achievements for failing had me coming back for more. The mumbling sound effects really tied the whole thing together. Well done.

HAHA!! Its simple and fun! SMILE 😁😁

Attending a high-class party is such a great concept for the theme, it fits really well.

The gameplay is simple yet engaging and quite challenging to, especially the posing for the camera bit, there's a lot of thing to keep track of it, it can get overwhelming, but thankfully this game has a bathroom break mechanic, where you can relax for a few seconds before you're thrown into the chaos once again.

Overall amazing stuff!

Submitted

So original concept, mayb it was a bit repetitive, but overal great experience!

Submitted

Fun simple game. Love the voices.

Cute Audio and Video, synergizing very well - also with the rising stressbar i did get more stressed irl :D was quite the fun adventure! The achivements are a great addition and kept me hooked and motivated to try again! just a bit weird that you have to go over the achivements tab to restart :D awesome contribution!

Submitted

This was interesting, the visuals and sounds worked well together and by the end the bathroom breaks went from being annoying to an actual real-life stress-reducer. Cool ideas!

Submitted

I felt stressed after a while. If this was your goal, you nailed it :-)

Thank you for playing my game!! Although it was intended to be an anxiety simulator, I hope you were able to get relaxed after the game :D

Submitted

The game has a really fun idea! I really like the visuals and the sounds, keep up the good work :D

Developer

Thank you so much! And now I am intrigued by your game's name.
