Very good game! It has a nice atmosphere in it, really good job writing that amount of different text and keep it interesting!

Some small part of me feels like you and I are roughly the same age lol. Very nostalgic feeling, super simple, and I really enjoyed the customized dialog for the stuff you added to the box (even if it was only made to feel that way, if so you did a good job!).
A very cool, and fun game! Love the art style! Wish I could make games as good as this!
Nice work.
I so wanted to play (and rate) this, but the Linux build seems broken 😢
Thankfully I got the tip by Hot Cuddlecino to try it under Wine (I apparently didn’t read the comments close enough to spot this myself 🙈), and that worked 😊
Very nice game, great way to implement the theme, I love it! I just recently went through a decluttering phase in real life, so it might have felt easier for me than many others here, I quickly got into a flow 😂 It still had me sit there and stare at the screen and try to make heavy decisions a couple of times. Really great writing! Also nice nod to the Cosmere, currently re-reading the Mistborn series 😄
edit: Also would have loved some sound and calm music in there. Though maybe there was and me not hearing it was due to the slightly weird workarounds I took to make it work? 🤔
Such a nice and cozy game. I liked the writing and the art a lot. There was a sentimental yet comforting feeling about the whole game. Very well done.
I am a hoarder and I am actually in the middle of moving out. So this had cut deep. I enjoyed it tho. Very nice art and storytelling. I was distressed about every little thing. I am surprised I did not keep the sword in the end… and Lady reminded me my own sleeping bunny, that in the end go too damaged to keep. this game made me feel a lot of feelings.
Really cute game. I liked the story a lot and the style is really pretty. Simple and charming.
Very nice and unique game. I really like how you gave every item its own little story. Makes it feel so real. I’m the king of person who saves even nice packaging sometimes. I’m trying to keep things only that are really worth keeping and this game captured that feeling perfectly. It reminds me a bit of life is strange. Some similar vibes going through your stuff in your room.
I’m glad you managed to submit this despite the technical difficulties. It would have been a shame to miss it.
(Not a problem, I could play it with wine, but the linux version is missing the pck file.)
What a great entry! Was watching Jade play it on stream and had to go play it for myself, damn is it good! Was gonna keep the sock if I hadn't seen the previous post haha. Kept the story from the Grandma cause I didn't realize there were other copies until the end...
This game tells a story like few others do and that is truly special, fantastic work! :)
Oooh, it's really pretty! Really good too!
But... Where's my special dialogue option?!
