Sorry man, even though I liked the visuals and the tone that was set up, I eventually got stuck when I had to search for firewood. I assume you have to find it near the green tree on the right of the entrance, but there was no prompt.

"When half way through the journey of our life I found that I was in a gloomy wood, because the path which led aright was lost."
Love the start in the full darkness - it was mysterious and intriguing. The game feels nice to play and i would like to know the rest of story.
Nice and cosy game! Now I want to know what happened!
[SPOILERS]
I had one small bug after I "traveled" in time and tried to open the lock door. The kid spoke to me about the book instead of the door triggering the lock... I moved a little to the side and it functioned normally.

Keep up developing your game!
Great work!
Well presented game good use of light and sound to set the mood and a great story . Well done keep working on it
Hi StefGrizzly,
I recognize the assets you used, alone they are a little dull but the warm lighting you added really changed up the mood and atmosphere! This really shows how important lighting is. I loved the pixel rain you added, I am such a fan! The story is great, I like how it is about family love and not just love between a couple. For the life of me, I could not figure out the code for the axe. Where was the clue?
There were a few minor bugs that I found like I could walk through the door just south of the master bedroom. And assets disappearing on the exterior of the building if you walked into a certain location. But nothing really disruptive to the gameplay.
Gonna be adding this to my collection! I hope you continue to further develop this.
Thanks,
Christine (Aluvea)
Wow, really liked the atmosphere and aesthetics! Did you make the art? Really amazing. The music is perfect for the your game's tone, good job!
One thing I'd point out is to avoid invisible walls, it's really annoying and breaks the gameplay...
Otherwise I had a blast playing! When I saw I could leave the house was such a great felling. You should keep working on it, your take on the theme was very creative and original!
Thank you to have played my game and for your feedback! For the art, it's mainly from Kenney assets, I did the characters and their animations and some interactable objects. The lightning is adding a lot with the aesthetics, if you try the game without it, it's clearly not the same. By the way, it makes me think that I should add a credit section for that. I'll remove the invisible walls in a next release also
Very smooth, enjoyable experience :D a pixel font would to it wonders! Nonetheless good job!
Really well done game! i think you should definitely finish and polish it up!
