What a satisfying game! I really loved the vibe it gives off — it's so cozy and relaxing. I’ll admit, scenario organization games aren’t usually my favorites, but this one is definitely the exception due to all the care that went into its production, from the dialogues and interactions to the way we play and progress.
It’s not just a game about tidying up a room and leveling up; it’s about advancing in your career through ratings, which makes everything so much more fun. I feel like some items are really much better than others, and I’d even say they’re almost universal, as they can fit nearly every client’s taste.
I really wish there was an option to stack items, as rugs take up quite a bit of space. While I’m not a great interior designer, I feel like I could’ve used the space much better if I could, for example, place tables or chairs on top of the rugs. Maybe a depth system could solve this, with each object having a depth value, and the game checking if one is “shallower” than another, allowing it to be placed on top of “deeper” objects.
A simple suggestion: in the menu, I noticed the tutorial button wasn’t very prominent. It would be helpful if it stood out as much as the other buttons, even if it's active by default. This would make it easier for players who want to replay the game and avoid going through the tutorial again. It may not be essential for your project right now, but it could definitely be useful in the future or for other projects.
Overall, it’s a very fun game to play. It was interesting to see my disastrous interior designer career finally take off and unlock new items and clients. Congratulations on the game, and good luck with the jam!
