Very unique, well thought out and executed.  Probably the most original i've played so far.

Really sweet game that deals with very important themes dear to me as well. I enjoyed the concept and I feel like the "loop of negative thoughts" is extremely well expressed. Well done!

Verry unique game. i think it is verry relatable for a lot of people in this day and age.

This is a really unique take on the theme. I think a lot of people can identify with getting sucked into negative thought loops. It made for a very thoughtful narrative. Great job!

Very unique concept, I enjoyed the fending off the negative thoughts, it was quite the challenge. Very solid though great job!

Super educational but in a fun way! Really impressed how you took that abstract concept and turned it into solid gameplay. Music and voice acting were on point too—awesome work!

Very good VA work and writing.

Great narrative and interesting interpretation of the theme! 


The audio is also fantastic, well done! 

One thing is I think different font choices might have been easier for me to read. But cool game!

Very interesting twist on the theme, I liked that you made voice acting.

I like the concept that you want to describe by narrative, but the fonts look hard for me :c, overall, it was good one.

If possible, can you please vote my game and leave a comment too?

This was awesome! I did not expect to be as into it as was. The narrative was great, it was impactful. The music, the voice acting, the art... it all came together to make a genuinely enjoyable game.

Yay :)

Short but impactful. The voice acting was great!

Submitted(+1)

Love the message! Nice touch with some proper voice acting! I felt that during gameplay i was mostly hoping for a good spawn for the possitive thoughts and then just not interact with the game because they spawned a way earlier then the bad thoughts. Could just be me though!

I did still enjoy it alot! Good job!

You're totally right about the gameplay! If I had more time I would've for sure worked on the spawning system more but I ended up pretty much randomising everything which made the difficulty really luck-based lol. Sometimes it's the perfect balance and other times its the easiest thing in the world lol
