Hey, do you sell vacuum cleaners. ahhh man this word is stuck in my head. Anyways the game is awesome really fun and you even had the time to make a save system (I did not try that). Really like the graphics very funny ending keep the good work on 👍👍👍👍


It would be helpful if you tried my game out thanks man 😊😊😊😊

The flat, shadowless graphics are really charming! I also liked the narrator’s voice — it fit the mood perfectly.
However, since I’m not from an English-speaking country, I couldn’t fully understand everything that was said. (I can read English, but listening is still difficult for me.)
If you ever consider adding it, having the narrator’s lines displayed as text would be a huge help for players like me who aren’t fluent in English!

Very enjoyable game and audio, and i even got to see the band perform one last gig, it was great! In my opinion the cabbots and other veggies did not need colliders, but overall nice job!

Submitted

I made it to the end! You did a good job working with the unshaded graphics, it fits the game. Great work!!

Submitted

The story is really interesting and heartwarming. The game has such a chill and relaxing atmosphere, and the background music makes it even better. I love how everyone keeps asking if I’m selling a vacuum cleaner, haha! 

Also, I found it funny that since the game is playable in a browser, pressing the “Quit” button froze the game. But don’t worry about it!

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback :D

Legitimately funny! xD I love the writing! 

The art style is also great, the character textures are hilarious and I love the unshaded/vibrant color aesthetic of the world!

On thing I noticed though with the info screen, if you're moving the mouse while closing the menu the camera snaps quite jarringly.  I haven't used Unity in a while but I think this might be an issue when changing the lockState of the cursor,  maybe try setting the position of the mouse back to center manually before returning control back to the camera?

Overall great game though, enjoyed the experience, good job! :)

I will look into the cursor thing.

Smooth jazz while running errands, what more could you want. Love the humour, esp from the narrator. Gave some uncanny vibes which defo gives it some horror points. Had fun and glad I could help mr piano man.

favourite of the jam so far. Not necessarily scary but it’s really creepy in a way that I love. Reminds me a lot of LSD Dream Emulator

this is a really weird game. I don't know why I find it weirdly creepy and funny at the same time. But first can you slow down the camera movement. This combined with the minimalist 3d graphics makes me dizzy.
DeveloperSubmitted

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback. The camera movement depends on the player's mouse sensitivity.  But I will try to implement an option to change the sensitivity in game.

I liked the story!

Clever premise. Pastel coloring is an unusual choice for a noir story, but it's distinctive. I loved the Raymond Chandleresque voiceovers. The high-res faces on the low-poly bodies are super creepy.

The music could be louder considering there aren't many (any?) sound effects.

I think I ran into a bug with Rachel... I delivered her letters, but I wasn't able to speak to her again afterwards (no prompt would appear to interact).

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback. After delivering three letters, Rachel would disappear and you wouldn't need to interact with her.

Submitted

Cool game! Maybe put the key you have to press to interact in the game so players don't have to leave and come back to tell how to talk to people :)

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback. I'll try to implement that.
