Fun characters and narrative. Fire menu beat too! I'm really hoping to know more... Here's a link to my playthrough https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1542931595?t=01h27m17s

Cute and creative game, it's a bit short but given the 50 hours it's understandable.
I also loved the character design and their dialogue, the talking cat was funny :D
Congrats on finishing the jam !

Thank you so much! I’m planning on releasing a post jam update and adding many more nights, so stay tuned!

It's funny, I like it.

Nice dialogue and characters! But having everything determined by chance doesn’t leave much for the player to do.

i love how every choice you make is random XD

Fellow dating-sim maker!! We were about to pick the EXACT same name as you lol! This is incredibly good, loved all the dialogue and characters.  Cat is best date. 10/10

A person of culture I see! Thank you for the support friend!

This felt ominous and haunted for some reason. I'm guessing because of the demon on night 4 and pieces of text scrolling by to fast, but that might just be me. Very fun though! An interesting take on the theme

Edit: I read other comments and apparently the scrolling text is not a feature? Well, I took it as one and it made my experience even better

The game may or may not contain various metaphysical entities trying to escape their digital prison through the guise of a luck based dating sim. :)

Interesting concept :)

My favorite was the cat!!

Really cool mini-date sim! Well done with the unique characters and interesting dialogue. It was always a mystery to see what my guy would say, since the dice could go any way. Could make the date go from great to terrible! If this was fleshed out a bit more it might be nice to have some sort of influence, like being able to select different types of dice or maybe an amount of dice (then anything like 1-3 could be bad... etc). But for a game jam game it was quite excellent.

I did have a few glitches though. I think it was mentioned but there was a weird text glitch were it looked like I was skipping text. I don't think I was since the lines still made sense, but I was worried my mouse was double clicking or something. There was also an audio glitch after pressing start for a few seconds before the game loaded. It happened in the web version, so I downloaded the version and tried through there... and it was worse and froze the game. And then even after closing the game the sound went on for like 30 seconds. It was odd. Went back to the web version and completed it there.

Otherwise though very cool game and good use of the theme!! Good work on this!!

Developer

Thank you for such a well thought out response! I appreciate the kind words, and the detailed bug reporting is super helpful. I’m not quite sure how to fix those errors, but rest assured I will be looking into it. Again, thank you!

really dun concept! I loved it!

Developer

Much appreciated!! Thank you!!

The lines of dialogue were great hahaha.

Submitted(+1)

lmao what a great game
must've taken a LOT of effort to write all of those lines of dialogue!

Developer

It definitely took some time! But overall I think it was more than worth the effort!

Great dialogue! The style was so cohesive and had a definite vibe. Found a few bugs with resolution, but enjoyed the script.

The writing in this game is top-notch and gf and I were giggling a lot while playing, well done! Character sprites are also really cute.

The gameplay itself was a bit underwhelming though, even ignoring the visual glitches. I think even small changes could add a lot here, like having an influence on how long the dice is shaken. It can still be totally random (are the outcomes even random or did you hard-code them?), but at least make the player *feel* like they have some sort of decision to make.

Anyway, definitely worth checking out! At least if you think of it more as a visual novel than a game.

Developer

I’m glad you two enjoyed it! I definitely have some polishing to do, and the luck is random, not hard coded. Provided things go well, I’m going to be polishing things up, adding more nights, and including new gameplay mechanics! Thank you so much for the feedback, it helps me out a ton!

There were a lot of bugs immediately. Resolution errors. Music and sound glitches.

I found myself accidentally skipping a lot of dialogue because nothing was happening after a roll. If you sit there and wait, nothing happens. 

The dialogue seems funny, but due to the skipping thing, I only got to read parts of it.

As someone that always chooses nice options in these types of games, it was refreshing to be forced to be mean.

Really funny concept. Every die roll felt super intense. I overall had an awesome time. :D

A lovely lil experience :) really enjoyed the music and the writing, Meao is defo my fave! I really enjoyed the characters sprites rotating to change expression in particular. Good work!

Fellow dating simulator dev!! The responses in this game were funny, I enjoyed it, sadly the dialogue was quite buggy and often kept repeating lines several times
