Great game but I need some time before understanding what to do.

I realli like the audio ! But I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the visuals, but it's purely subjective, it's not really my kind.

It was entertaining and I liked the story !

Okay!! Yes, we took some creative risks. Subjectivity is a big part of the aesthetic. So is confusion, which has made for ample replay value. Thanks!!

I'm a little ashamed to admit how long it took me to figure out what to do lol. I liked the idea behind this and there's a very cool backstory that I wish I got to find out, but this is a great start. Good work!

Developer

I'm actually happy to know that games I work on produce that level of challenge and confusion. We all took pride in the strangeness of the narrative and its cohesion with the gameplay. Thank you for sharing in this experience with us. We'll keep you updated on further developments.

This is definitely a very weird experience; but it was entertaining!
It felt like reading a bizzarro fiction book in pixel format. 

The only thing I had an issue with was that there's sometimes (possibly lighting/texture tearing?) black mass that will pop up for a second on the side before going away. 

Developer (1 edit)

I believe that some of the visual glitches were intentional on the part of our programmer; he does a lot of those things to great effect, especially in his own works. At any rate, I'm glad we managed in this short timeframe to produce an experience which resonates with people on a dreamy, unconventional level they would not usually explore. Thanks for playing and reviewing.

Love the unsettling mix of 2d and 3d- really sells the story! Unfortunately, I thought the third door in the kitchen by Claude went outside, and didn't try it until my 9th attempt, so I kept getting endings 2 and 3. But other than that, it was really cool! Love the head-switching idea, would love to see more of it! :D

To think that our humble demo made you play nine times is mind-blowing!!

You absolutely nailed the theme, and went all in. It really feels like you're playing a dream. You pushed the engine to the limit by making it a 3D game so kudos to you. The music really fit the game and it was nice! The story felt a bit rushed in certain points, but this is normal for a game made in a jam, the graphics are consistent but not my cup of tea personally. Congratulations on making and finishing your game :D

Anything this Dreamy is not for everyone, but the fact that you were able to appreciate it showcases your openmindedness, which was sort of our theme. ;-]

Pros:

  • Fantastic visuals! I started using Rpg Maker MV fairly recently and I didn't know the engine was capable of a game like this! 
  • Absolutely loved the Tabitha's design. It's pretty cool and memorable and I can even imagine it as a cameo character in another indie game or perhaps as a fighter in some fighting game.
  • Great use of the magical realism theme!
  • Music and sounds: simply perfect. The music feels dreamlike and it fits the game perfectly.
  • The plot and characters were really interesting! I really want to know more about the main protagonist!

Cons:

  • Perhaps it was intentional, but I'm not very fond of the character's walking animation as it is a static frame. It would be amazing to see Tabitha having more frames!

Overall: fantastic game! I absolutely loved it! I hope you continue working on it because this has a lot of potential and Tabitha is an amazing character!

Coming from the developer who made 60 Days near-singlehandedly, this is encouraging. Your work gave me a lot to think and feel about, so I am honoured that our team was able to return to favour. Dream/Berry will be pleased to read this feedback.

I thought this was very cool! The use of the theme to make a dreamlike setting made me feel like I was in a Salvador Dali painting. The first time I played I got ending 2, because I spoke to Claude early. Then I got to the cake but I think I ran out of steps because Claude found me, and I got ending 3, which was funny. The third time I got ending 1! I also like how it starts in the middle of the story, and then the backstory is explained. It left me wondering what was going on with Tabitha, and then curious to find out how she got there :)

Thanks for this uplifting and insightful comment.
