How does you game fit the theme?

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Some of the assets were purchased

Hey,
I loved it. Its a shame the voice actress didn't want crediting, she had a lovely nack for voice acting :)
The game looks visually beautiful. The movement is a tad slow however, and on my 4k monitor the UI needed scaling but it was still readable :)
nice job. I finished it enjoying the story (as much as one can do with the sadness lol)
Please can you vote my game on the last day before the jam ends? Thank you :D
Interesting game, reminds me of a game where you unpack a person's things as they grow up and move on in life, though this is more of a puzzle game I feel.
Only thing is the door sounds are really jarring and too loud, breaking the mood of the game.
Still, good job overall!
Would also appreciate it if you please rate our game as well:

A nice game idea, I liked the isometric view and overall aesthetics of the game. I had a bit of a problem with the sound design. The door squeak was too loud and distracted me from the beginning of each monologue segment quite a bit. A bigger variety in the footsteps sounds would also make a huge impact on the audio sound design of the game. :) A good game nonetheless.
The music really fits with the atmosphere of the game. I like 'floating room' look, with the tutorial underneath. Great way of implementing it in the game! I did have some difficulty with pulling the boxes.
Hey!
Great art, sound, and vibe / mood.
Some small feedback if you decide to keep working on it:
Pulling works a bit funny, The graphics are great, but I think there are times where color is a bit overexposed (too bright / white).
Overall good work.
Congrats on making your game and getting 20+ votes!
oh, and tutorial is very good, and I love the perspective / view
Great concept, and nice, minimalistic graphics. Also, I loved the voiceover!
Very nice game ^^ Not much to say about it really, everything was really well done..! The puzzles, the art, the tone...
Good job on the game ! :D
Hi, happy to be your 20th rater! :) I love the graphics and how you managed to integrate the assets seamlessly with the gameplay. The background music was fitting the atmosphere nicely, and voiceovers are always a nice addition, especially for games with a heavy narrative like yours.
My only issue was with the controls, I've not yet played a game where WASD was fitting nicely with an isometric view, I always have to push boxes into directions that require two keys. Pulling a box was even more confusing, I got stuck many times.
The built-in tutorial was implemented well, it was useful yet it wasn't intrusive and did not break the flow at all.
Overall, a great job, way to go!

This was really well done! The voice was a little quiet but thankful for the subtitles. The movement felt really good!
Very creative idea and was simple and easy to play and understand with , keep it up!
I really liked the graphics of this game ! so smooth and clean ! Enjoyed a lot my playing it :) I hope you can rate my game also ! It will be helpful for me:)
I like the art style and you did a great job of showing how the puzzle works.
Such a nice idea, to build box pushing/pulling levels out of furniture! :-) Beautiful! :)
for only having a playtime of a few minutes, this game successfully made me feel somethin, yknow? it had a very nice atmosphere, and had me engaged until the end. wonderfully done!
Really nice game! I love the look of it and the puzzle elements. The voice acting is very nice as well. Great work, really enjoyed!
I liked the overall tone of the game, was very consistant and graphics were nice and also the lady's voice as well! Draging the box was a bit challenging but i made it! :)
I like that you have a wholesome concept and i could feel the story of the character
