WOAH, THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND MYSTERIOUS TAKE ON “THE LONG WAY HOME”! 🧠🏠🎨✨
I really enjoyed how the journey home is connected to recovering the reason why the character left in the first place. The hand drawn art gives the game so much personality, and the atmosphere works perfectly with the psychological mystery. The puzzles also feel nicely connected to exploring the world and slowly piecing together the story.
I think the biggest thing to improve would be making important interactions and objectives a little clearer, especially with the inventory and some of the clues. A few extra visual cues or small dialogue hints could help players stay immersed without giving the puzzles away. The supporting character art and interaction UI could also get another polish pass to match the strong main-character style.
SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE FIRST JAM GAME! 🎨🧠🔥 Getting a story-focused mystery like this together in only about 3 days while working around a job is seriously impressive. Great atmosphere, great concept, and I’d definitely love to see more from this world. Good luck with the jam! 🏠✨🎮
