Teacher SimulatorOkay, first of all, I love the art!
And I love the situation I found myself in. Sadly I couldn't figure out what those two words mean. I have a suspicion but I'm not sure as I couldn't really confirm it.
And that's really my only problem with the game, I enjoyed my time, and it looks great but I didn't understand what was happening.
It would have been great if the player got clues as to what some words mean or have some kind of revelation at the end, even if it would just be Charlie telling the player what those two words mean. Because I'm sure everyone has some ideas and not have any resolve at the end feels a bit unsatisfying.
So I had fun, I love the concept and I really think this idea and setting could make for a very interesting title if it was expanded upon and the player could actually learn something about the language.

Curse of the CursorAs confusing as it was, this game was pretty cool, I liked it. Artstyle was neat, and the story has an interesting concept. Only thing wrong with it that I could find was that options on your dialogue box stayed if you moved to a different area of the game.

Real Estate RescueI loved the absolute feeling of bafflement! Having sat in on a lunch in a foreign country, I can definitely relate.
I would love to play this game with a more fleshed-out soundscape to really bring the city to life. If you sprung for voice acting, you could even give players clues through intonation of the words.
Great job overall!
Nice art! But what was the meaning of these words? Reminded me of https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/lost-in-translation

Keyboard DancerI like the art, but the visual novel / text adventure doesn't necessarily do a good job of indicating intent outside of text, which made it difficult to engage with.

BuildifactoryGreat take on the jam theme! Really like the art and you really captured the whole bumbling around in a unknown land.
