Art style is amazing! Atmosphere is great too! I like dark novellas!

But i had one bad thing - screen resolution. Game was oversized (can send a screen if you need) on my laptop. Please make resolution config :)

The good:

The artwork was nice. Nice job.

The bad:

The aspect ratio was off for me, When I started the game, the music was playing and I just saw a black screen. After clicking it looks like some of the comic strips were off the screen. The next button was to the far right color of my screen and I only would see "ne". Not sure what happened there. As far as I could tell the only mechanic to the game was to sew her back together right? My wife tried it out and mentioned that you could move your mouse wildly not caring about being perfect and you could still progress. Maybe some consequence should be there. Again, im not sure if I even saw the whole game so excuse me if there was actually a consequence.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you tried out the game!
I'm aware of the issues, initially I made the game too hard with the consequences (like making the blood drain faster if you were off course with where you were sewing) so I decided to lower the difficulty by a lot just to make sure people can finish the game.
Sadly the aspect ratio problem wasn't caught until I had other people test my game on their machines - I'm still working on a fix for this one! It's a small, rushed project for a game jam - so no promises that I'll come to fix it anytime soon, but for the sake of completion I will eventually.

The art is great and really enjoyed the way it was presented. It was really difficult to get a game over and I ended up sitting there for a while draining my health just to see what would happen haha.

Nice work!

Hey, thanks for the comment! All props to the artist who picked out the pallette! We were going for the silent movie style and it fits
