This was the first I played from this jam, when you shared it on Discord. And it's one of the last that I'm rating, sorry about that! 

I think you guys did a fantastic job on this. The art, while it could use a little more refinement, is exceptional for a game jam. Everything works really well. 

The only real negative I would say is that the English is a bit hard to follow sometimes, along with a few spelling mistakes. I won't hold that against the rating though, but if you move towards releasing it like you said you might, I would probably hire someone to do the translations.

Holy moly, this is an amazing play! I had a lot of fun with this one and its concept.

awesome game! the graphics and sounds blew me away! the gameplay is unique and challenging, I have to think it through just to give an answer. This one has good replay value, overall, I enjoyed playing, congratulations! keep it up!

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

Oh my! I actually enjoyed this game so much~ I loved everything about it! The art, the story, the characters, even some items can be dragged through the screen!! I've found myself playing around with the skull haha! Amazing work, I'd definitely love it if you ever want to make this into a full game~

Developer(+1)

I will definitely post this game on Android & still considering, if we should go for Steam... But anyway, thank you for your warm words!

Nice Game. I like the psychological aspect of the game. And its really cool that there are multiple endings, which all leave on cliffhangers. Also about the dialogue skipping bug, it seems to work properly if you click on the dialogue shortly after it starts but if you wait too long before clicking to show the whole it skips the line entirely. Just something to consider if you are interested in patching the bug.

Developer

Thank you! <3 I found the source of this bug! It happens only to last dialogue in dialogue tree, right before transition to the next character or ending of tree. Don't know how to fix it yet, but maybe will fix this bug tomorrow, now I need some sleep :D

the game is not bad

This game is amazing. The visuals are stunning and i have rarely ever seen such class art made in such a short period. The theme of the game is really interesting and i wish you continue this game after the jam ends.

Thank you! It is so nice to hear. Yes, we were in hurry, we were hanging out till the midnight in discord with our designer & animator to get this thing done <3 We will probably port game on mobile. Probably Steam, but I am not sure

I like the Art Style, and the way a lot of things can be dragged around in the background :)

But some things didn’t seem to work. The “fullscreen” option works for me, but I don’t see the text.

Nice immersive narrative game! I'm particularly drawn to the darker nature of this one - his fate is to be living with the vision of his daughter. I liked the animations and music, but the typing sounds were hit and miss with me. I really liked the one you used for John. Overall good work!

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thank you for your comment! There are actually 3 endings of the game, first is one you got and the second happens if you won't fail a single client(don't listen to what girl's saying, and don't be rude to them), then you will get another choice in the end, but I won't spoil that :0

Submitted

Nice! I'll have to check it out!

Submitted(+1)

I can see that a lot of effort went into this! The graphics and fullscreen option didn't work for me tho :/

Developer

Thank you a lot! Yes, that was pretty intense, our designers did a great job! Weird. It works for me(Google Chrome) perfectly.

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game! The audio and visual presentation is great, and the general amount of content is incredible! Well done.

Submitted(+2)

I loved this game! Especially how Samuel just casually put a calendar up with his foot lmao

But I just wish there was an option to make the dialogue roll faster. Because sometimes, I would press continue and it would just skip dialogue. Other than that, pretty good game! Especially when it was made in 3 days! :)

Developer(+1)

Haha! Thank you for noticing this little stuff from me! :D Yeah, such a pitty this bug has appeared :c But, yep, we have put all the efforts to make it in under 3 days!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game, loved the art and the patients stories.

Some of the dialogue was skipped when pressing to continue or see the text faster (mainly happened when the dialogue was transitioning from one character to another. I think).

I also managed to get some of the background objects out of bounds while I was playing with them.

Developer

Thank you! Also, want to say that I liked your game the most! Wish you good luck, you deserve top position!

Very immersive. Attractive, moody graphics, lovely little animation flourishes. All the patients with their different stories are very cool.

A couple of suggestions for improvement:

1. There is something wrong with the way the dialog scrolls. I ended up accidentally skipping some lines when I just meant to display the entire line. Note that this seems to work correctly in the introduction (when Sophia is talking), but it doesn't work right when patients are speaking.

2. For a very text-heavy and story-rich game presented in English, you should consider a team member who is a native English speaker. While the stories are original and interesting, there are a lot of unidiomatic turns of phrase.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your notices! I will definitely consider this in futher project developing, but I was pretty tired writing this dialogues at night, so might have sometimes picked poor choice of words :D Glad you liked it! We were really trying!

Submitted(+1)

I can tell--it's a very impressive entry!

Submitted(+1)

It's an amazing game. Perfect graphic,  creative sounds,thought-provoking stories. (and making things collide is kind of funny)

Maybe letting different people do different things while talking will make it even better.

And, when I click, texts just get skipped so I have to wait, therefore this game is a little bit time-consuming. Is that a bug or something unnoticed?

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment! I think it's some bug. I made that dialogue replica comes to end without skipping on first click. Works for me, but some bugs may appear, I guess :(

Submitted

I tried again, and it happened to "Or could you?" and "I have to save another person ..." and some other dialogues. Maybe there's difference between the last sentence and other sentences?

Developer

I will see, yeah, it happens occasionally, will see what may be a reason of this problem
