I am enjoying your non-timed story games so much!

Developer

Thank you :3

This is a nice approach to the theme. First try we only fixed one window. >.< Second try we ran into a little bug. We accidentally pressed „Next Day“ while a speech bubble was still shown - after this we couldn’t restart and had to reload the website.

Thank you for playing and reporting the bug! We'll look into it once the jam ends :)

Gave it 5/5 stars, this is absolutly amazing and catched my heart!!! Easy controls/ easy gameplay and you can help the people. Great use of voice/SFX! I'm truly overwhelmed. I hope this wins, it's so unique and I would love it to see that game on steam someday. really great work!!

Really creative idea. It managed to make me invested in all these little stories :) Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing :3

I loved those little stories. And this window depth effect amazed me!

It was just hard to click the scrollbar :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game! 
Funny thing with scrollbar - it is a web bug, that you can't scroll normally.
We will definitely remove the scrollbar completely after the jam ends :D

Super schön! 

Die Sprechblasen Animation ist richtig nice, allerdings etwas zu intensiv fĂĽr meinen Geschmack :D

Das Game fand ich richtig schön und originell - perfekte Kombination aus Artwork, Sounds (Voice Acting!!!) und Narrativ. Wollt ihr daran weiterarbeiten?

Developer(+1)

Danke sehr <3

Ja, wir hatten nicht genug Zeit um Polishing (gibt es ein deutsches Wort?...) zu machen und die Animationen und Visuals verbessern. Nach dem Game Jam möchten wir das schaffen :D

Ja nice, dann viel Erfolg dabei :)

Interesting concept and atmosphere! The tension really builds up, and I enjoyed the unique approach. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I wonder what tension you mean exactly :D

The guy with the phone... as I mother myself I can imagine that this will happen to me someday. My kids are still young but they are growing up.

I like the parallax effect

Deep game, pretty cool concept!

Developer

Thank you :)

Really good artwork with wonderfully fitting music and sound effects. I especially loved the parallax effect! The text style didn’t quite match the overall art style, but that’s just a minor thing (and also just my opinion). I wasn’t entirely sure how the "broken" windows fit the theme, but that might just be me. Visual novels aren’t really my style .D But regardless, it’s a solid game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying out our game! Especially as you are not into visual novels, we appreciate that you give it a chance <3

Yeah, here we use "broken" in a figurative sense :)

Nice little stories, i like the most second window. Also, really cool idea with name - broken windows. Awesome!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

This is such a cool twist on visual novel gameplay! Very wholesome and cute :)

Already fixed 4 windows (in different playthroughs), will try to get all 6! Probably some secret interaction at some point…

Developer

Thank you so much for playing <3

4 windows is a good result! There are definitely some additional interactions. It may not be very clear from the gameplay (and we didn't implement the tutorial either...), but interactions are only possible once the certain dialogue window is open. You probably understood that yourself, but just to make things clearer :D
