I think you already know most of my feedback, but you can get stuck.

The girlfriend thing just felt a bit cruel.

OMG you move so slow. You can't speedwalk? And why is the house so large?

The MC house seems overly large compared to the exterior. Seemed also like someone just slapped a bunch of assets on a map for the sake of adding assets. Another house seems too small considering the exterior.

You can progression block yourself during the puzzles.

Some assets passability seemed a bit weird like the chairs and the little garden things?

That one kid's nickname/title though...

I hope you enjoyed me breaking your game. I'm telling you, in many games, if I really want to try, I can break it. It definitely sounds like it was a good thing that I broke yours though XD.

Thanks, I put the feedback to good use! The free event version of MZ has just expired, but I think I was able to smooth out and improve a lot of things before it did. I'm looking forward to uploading this new version of my game once uploads are re-enabled!

Very cute game.. Love the pretend games that the kids are playing. Reminds me alot about my childhood. Maps are a little toooo big lots of empty space, other than that, its a nice little game to enjoy if you are into a little bit of puzzle-solving and humor. good job!

Developer

Thanks! I watched your playthrough of the game. Glad to see you enjoyed it!

Seemingly innocent game with some strange undertones. The girlfriend bit killed me, I didn't expect it. I thought I figured out the puzzle in Adrift but even after putting each shape in each hole I was still stuck. I'm not sure if I got tricked by too obvious of an answer or if it's a bug. Had fun either way.

No worries, you're not the only one who got stuck there. It's working as intended, as far as I can tell, so I'm thinking I might need to add additional hints. Thanks for the play!

My other theory was that the colours were relevant but then only half of it made sense to me so I disregarded them. Can you tell me how to solve it?

The game is bugged. The Square goes in the Square.

Those are all the clues you need.

I've since updated the game, but can't upload the new version while voting is in progress. While I don't want to outright leave the solution to the puzzle in the comments below my game, I will at least leave you with the additional hints I added. In the new version, there is now dialogue where Amelia tells Noah that they already tried 1) matching the shapes to the holes and 2) ignoring the puzzle entirely. From this, Noah gathers that he must *not* match the shapes to the holes, and cannot ignore the puzzle.
