It seems like the rest of the comments have pretty much summed up my feelings on this game, as well. The art is quite wonderful, but not much in terms of gameplay. But I'm really glad to hear you're in a better place right now! The tone of this game really hit something personal in me, because I have totally been in that spot before (and every now and again :\ ). The juxtaposition of taking out the trash as the main goal, when most video game goals are epic in scale, says quite a lot, and I hope your players got that!
If/when you do pursue this game, I'd love to see more environmental storytelling details!

SmahtCahThank you! We definitely plan on pursuing the game and telling a complete story with it. It’s our first game so it will take the time it needs, but we’re excited ourselves to expand the world and the character (though the “world” will most likely not expand beyond the confines of the apartment). We’ll work on the puzzle aspect of the game too!
Thanks! We may have mismanaged our time a bit and spent a bit too much on the art rather than the playability. It’s our first jam anyway so the next one will be better!
We are definitely excited to work more on the game as well, this is a project we both cherish and is the backbone of the message we want to share.
The art really suits the story, but what bothers me is, are you ok?

Just Don't Die: Jam EditionArt looks great, I really like the real time lighting effects. The game itself could have used more puzzle elements to make it more interesting. Nice job!

Crashing CommuteFantastic atmosphere, I really dig the art style and the writing, However, I'd been looking for that key for ages if not the comments here :)

Baaaaad NeighbourhoodThat was some GOOD atmosphere! I liked the dreary lighting, and the all ambiance. The TV in particular was really well done. I liked that it kept changing colors and playing different audio clips.
I liked your writing. I'm glad you made the extra effort to write multiple pieces of text for each item. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do in 2021 with part 2!

The FrisKEY MouseThank you so much! I may have spent too much time on soundscaping as my artistic background is in music, and that might have eaten too much time of the allowed 48 hours; but really we wanted to communicate a feeling, make a statement, at the risk of ending up with more of an interactive art installation at the expense of it being a full game.
We’re also looking forward to continuing this adventure of making the game!
