It's not bad but it felt a bit random. Sometimes the milk was spoiled, sometimes it wasn't. And it's random it feels like my choices are pointless (which makes the game less interesting than it could be). Has potential.

the only thing "random" is the milk, but the name of the game is you can only lose so if you expected to win, you cant

Some of the text was cut off for some reason. Nice concept, and unfortunately couldn't figure out a way to stay alive :(

Developer

yeah, the text didnt work on my phone either, must be an issue with the way I exported it

I like that you are constantly taking naps as a response to a situation, then waking up at the start in the loop. Pleasant music. Somehow the art is also nice, I enjoy the character's sad expression. It actually made me laugh, well done. Fell into a hole at a funeral, got ignored, guess I'll take a nap... 

Developer

Fun decision game with many loops!  Those robbers must have been quite industrious to take my family fortune, develop nuclear weapons, and then wage a nuclear onslaught!

Very fun concept and good humor. I wish there was more to it tho.

Developer

I will probably add more after the jam is over

It's a very simple narrative but I like it a lot, the artstyle reminds me a lot of "I saw her standing there" back on armor games. Good work! :)

Developer
