Amazing,  One of the more unique concepts I've seen in awhile, and the presentation and assets are top tier.  It almost felt like it wasn't an RPG maker game.

First off, excellent  farming sim. I got to grow and ship my crop. The customer seemed very happy with the quality of the produce.... As expected, this entry was incredibly polished, fun, and creative. well done.

Fantastic game, ticks all the boxes I’d expect of Nowis game in a jam. This one will be right in the mix for the prizes imho.

Great job.

Integrating option into gameplay is a great idea! The last boss quite tricky yet become really fun after you  figured it out. The art also fit perfectly into the theme. The ending quite bitter sweet since it feels like despair hidden by hope kinda thing, at least for me. 

Anyway, this is a nice jam game. Good Job!

This was a fun idea and certainly unique! Though the puzzles were simple, they kept me engaged. It was a bit annoying when I failed at the boss a couple of times though and had to restart. Longer puzzles with no time limits would suit my tastes better. Anyway, really nice jam game, congrats!

I sooo love the unique concept of this with using the Options/Settings as part of gameplay and changing how the world interacts with you! I enjoyed advancing the story via the new options we gathered along the way as if they were skills! I love that unique mechanic a lot! The arts and aesthetics of the game are very smooth and cute, too! Super adore the noir feel of them! xD <3 The final boss was a good way for us to use the options we've gathered along the way, but sadly, I wasn't able to complete it due to being stuck on the Superconductor one T_T I got confused which option to play around with on that part. x(( It's a me thing tbh xD. I would love to be able to come back and solve that should you wish to let me know lol, but it's okay if you won't, as that will be spoilers. xD <3 Overall, a super fun entry with super unique and fun options mechanics! Amazing job, Nowis!! <3

Thanks for playing, Starmage!

If you want to get to progress past the sword part, it is where you set up the stormy weather (night + weather on)  to use it as a lightning rod!

Thanks so much for the tips, Nowis! I was able to finish the final boss, and that was very fun indeed! Also, that debugging error part was kinda funny, I love that! In the end, I do adore the game's message about preserving humanity in this era of robots. xD <3 So that was a sweet touch! <3

A fun game where you literally use the options you have at your disposal to mold the world in order to solve solutions and go beyond expectations. In more ways than one. One little final boss confusion aside, this is a well made product.

That's all I have to say on the matter. Well done.
