This is definitely one of my favorite entries (or it might actually be my favorite one).
In terms of presentation, it was incredible; I really liked the use of simplistic graphics (and the limited palette), it worked really well, and I loved the sprites.
In terms of story, I was a bit confused at first, but wow, I really liked the overall message/critique regarding social media/phones/etc. Perhaps the game didn't have much traditional horror, but the effect social media has in your lives can be really terrifying. That ending was perfect.
While I wasn't a big fan of the daily tasks loop gameplay, it makes sense and totally fits the tone and the theme of the game, so it would be a bit unfair to criticize it, although it was definitely one of my least favorite aspects of the game. Still, the overall experience was really enjoyable, and it's a short but really neat experience that has a great message.

Great work!

omg thank you so much! :D

i'm glad you liked the presentation! i have limited art experience so i always try to get creative with the visuals of my games, whether it's using different styles or making everything really simple. even if it's nothing amazing, i'm proud of how the art in this game turned out and i'm happy that people seem to enjoy it!

i'll fully admit i kind of struggled with presenting a story with only bits and pieces of information given as the player goes on. to me, that approach worked best with this story, but i don't have a ton of experience with that format so i'm sorry it was confusing! i'm really glad you liked the ending though, tbh to me the ending is kind of the most important part of a game? cuz it leaves the most lasting impression. i always put a lot of effort into making my endings satisfying, so it's great to hear it paid off for you :>

tbh a big part of the repetitive gameplay was due to the fact that i had like, a week to finish this game. when the jam started i had an idea for a game but i got too busy to finish it, and then i got a second idea but the jam was about to end, so i made the gameplay loop like it does to avoid the full game lasting only 3 minutes XD i still think the loop itself fits the game and drives everything home, but even when playtesting i noticed that it got a bit annoying to repeat the days so many times haha. still, it's good to hear you thought it fit the theme well!

thank you for playing!! <3
