Nice writing and cool idea, i had problems finding the apples too :( But the pixel art is very cute!!
Love the writing and dialogue, but the gameplay is a little plain, I just want to let you know that I spent like 30 minutes to find apples and finally found them on the fridge on the right inside the house.
Pretty good game! the art is great and I enjoyed the writing, it had a lot of funny lines. The gameplay did get a bit boring at points.
Really funny game with a cute art style. Nice job! Thanks for the game.
I played on stream
Had to think of Epic NPCman but missed the garlic or the sheep^^ very well done and well written.
Although I didn't have any apples to place...was that a joke I didn't get?
Enjoyed the dialog. Felt a bit tedious at times but has a lot of stuff for a 48 hour game Well done
Pretty funny game. Mechanically not all that interesting but that seems like part of the joke. Dialogue was good too.
A bit drawn out near the end (needs a sprint button!), but the final twist made me glad I stuck with it.
Apples do be bussin' fr fr
Very funny dialogs :)
Very creative concept! The dialogues of the NPC were funny, well done!
The text fits perfectly the story, I really felt the NPC!!!! Really well done, nice entry!
and my life too
the game is ok
Your writing was absolutely hilarious. I laughed audibly in front of my family when I read "that's not you though, cry about it.", and also the self-aware lines about sprites and questions from players had me rolling, lmao. Nicely done
My only issue was how long it took to get to gameplay--if you chose to continue this in the future, I think making spacebar to skip to the next dialog option or a hold-space to skip-all-in-current-scene could be helpful. That being said, I still really liked that you had the player walk up to the NPC and the setup, so either way!

Good writing, great concept! I wasn't a huge fan of the execution, especially since i got a really annoying audio bug shortly in and wasn't al sure where I was going, but still a great concept I'd love to see expanded on!
Great game, the writing was great and the art was pretty cute, though I do think the walking was a bit slow so it felt a tiny bit annoying towards the end. I guess it really does just make you feel like the NPC though lol.
I love the writing and creativity in this one ^^
It's interesting to see a game from an NPC's perspective. The footsteps were a bit too loud and repetitive in my opinion, but the soothing music balanced that out well. Good game!
That was the best game ive ever played, extremely hilarious and fun
