Fun game. Does a really good job of hitting the theme in a compact package. There were some moon logic bits here and there that left me looking for stuff for a while. Also I think I got the good ending, but I feel I probably missed something since it skipped the last bar fill up, but that may have just been a design choice to go straight to the party. Not sure. Was fun though! You all made a great game experience with plenty of polish and some laughs! :3

Just my favorite game of the jam so far, you guys really outdid yourselves in this short period 🌟🌺
The rpg maker vibes from the game really take me back. The art and vibes remind me a bit of LISA, Earthbound and Undertale. Very nostalgic stuff.
I missed those item-exchanging puzzle mechanics, talking to NPCs and trying to figure out what they want and how to solve a problem or finding stuff in random ass places xD
And the most precious thing for me in a game - it made me laugh all the way! I love the characters and the scenarios, too funny!! The writing is great!!
Also, I died when the concierge killed me XD
Gonna take this game as inspiration for next jams, really enjoy those silly vibes
Congratulations 🌟

I loved this, amazing gem definitely gave me a few dsaf vibes probably because of the engine. But this was great!

I’m laughing my ass off because I got the game over screen without saving the game, after almost 30 min. playing it. Thank you I loved it, I’ll try tomorrow again, hahah.

I love the vibes of the game, dialogs and characters are very fun and cool. Also the sounds are fun and the music is very catchy. And the graphics are very beautiful, I love the characters and the hotel in general. I love too that you used RPG Maker to do the game. Very well done! <3

Really sorry about that haha. If I could change anything after launch it'd probably be making that more safe/obvious. Originally there was one more failsafe in place for that, but I think it was accidentally deleted during the final polish.

Glad you're enjoying it in spite of that! :)

Don’t worry, I think it was very nice to feel accountable for my actions of being annoying. The game alerted me and I was just curious, so I think it’s good that way. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable with your game, but games are also fun when you don’t expect those kind of things hahaha

And yes of course, I’ll try to finish it today! :D

Awesome game! Gave me strong Undertale vibes, which I guess you were going for. :) Really well done!
