How does your game fit the theme?
The player character is joined to the spiritual world and uses this connection to start a new agency. The player helps to sever the connections of ghosts and sprits from the human world and move them on. All of the ghosts are connected to the house in more ways than one. Will you also see and feel all the connections?

Really nice music and art! Dialogue feel a bit pedantic, but I also wonder if it would have been more enjoyable to read with a larger font that was more prominently placed in-game? I guess I just felt like I was straining to read down at the bottom, which detracted from the really lovely narrative you wrote. Enjoyed the puzzles as well. Great work!

Really lovely! Great interpretation of the theme! I would love to see more of this game if you make it!

Developer

The first step is fixing all the bugs and putting the cut 4th ghost back in and remembering to put a movement tutorial in.

lovely art

Developer

Thanks, We probably tried to make good gameplay too.

I really liked the art and the color palette. Unfortunately I'm on a Mac and can't play it.

Developer

If you want you can download the game and read the script in the included csv and then play the web version and guess which line should be on screen at any time. I think line 131 is the first one.

Really good art and music, but it bugged out on me multiple times with the windows version, especially in the note puzzle minigame. I hope you could polish the game in the future because the story looks pretty cute!

Developer

Thanks, the story gets far less cute over time.

Will probably do a pass or two of polish to this after the judging ends and I can update the itch listing.

Nice game. The spacing between the letters made it very hard to read, which is unfortunate when you have incorporated that much text. I liked the art and loved the music. :)

I forgot I made the textbox for a very specific monospaced font and forgot to update it for this font.

I was really engaged in the art and story! My main criticisms are that there isn't clear direction on the fact that the mini-map is able to be interacted with and there tends to be lot of dialogue between each interaction. Nevertheless, beautiful art and a surprisingly polished finished product! Good job!

Presentation really is top notch, the art is very pleasing, good job!

I know that you had some issues with fonts and letters appearing and I don't want to sound like a broken record, but the font was really super hard to read. I l absolutely loved the aesthetics though, cool as heck.

I love the art style! Well done! I'm guessing it isn't completely finished though since there didn't seem to be anything to do after the fusebox. Did I miss something?
