Interesting game! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)
I fed my boy and he got big.
Turning with the grid movement was a bit weird like some others said (strafing would've been nice!), the environment and the sounds were really good, and the interactive method felt novel compared to a lot of games in this genre.

Really cool idea! When I first loaded I was thinking the pet was the frog but then I realized what was really going on. Super clever!
The concept of the game is really cool. I also liked a lot the sound effects.
really cool!
Love the concept, The answering machine introduction is very nice! Gameplay mechanics are cool too. movement is a bit janky at first but other than that, very well done!
Really cool concept, most original game have come across so far!
Wonderful voice acting and a very cool concept! Good work :D
I really like this game, I sat at the computer for a very long time and threw everything that came to hand into the cauldron.
This was honestly a very funny game, the controls are a little too wonky but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Good entry, honestly funny.
I enjoyed it, I thought the theme of it was fun, but the control was a bit wonky, the grid movement made picking up things that fell on the ground a bit tricky at times, winding up the record player, picking up and placing items, spinning the cat toy, it all felt a bit mismatched to mouse position. Still, a solid effort.
This was an interesting game with an interesting story where the main character has to continously do various things to keep her grandson. At the start, I was quite lost and just randomly made food for Hansel before realising that there are actual recipes needed to be followed to make proper food and drinks for Hansel. The game mechanics were quite easy to follow and understand once you get the hang of it and it is quite cool and messed up at the same time to treat your grandson as a pet.
