This game is amazing. The sound design made me feel immersed, and the hand drawn style is unique and has a lot of personality. I just wish I didnt have to restart from the beginning every time I failed D:

Developer

I wanted to add a skip button for the dialogue, but I ran out of time :D Sorry about that. Thank you for the feedback and for playing!

This game is so addicting. I got so immersed into finding the way forward with different answers. Anyone with time to spare, please check this out!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy you enjoyed it!

I had a great moment playing this for the first time AND second time to see what happen with other answer.
This game could have easily been very boring and unsuccessful, but the combination of high-quality art style and well-crafted, concise dialogues make the experience one of the best I've played in this jam so far.

Developer

I was really hoping people would be interested enough to try it a few times. I'm so glad to hear that is the case. Thank you for the kind words!

Wow! This game totally blew my mind!! Gave me the chills, super excited to see how far this concept can go

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!

I love the art. The game has a great mix of story and mechanics. I hope you continue adding more content like different devices to contact the ghost. Overall a really great game in 48 hours.

Developer

We are excited to explore this idea further and are so happy everyone seems to be enjoying it. Thank you!

Cool design. The tutorial is perfect, intuitive. I'm definetively going to play it entirely after the voting period!

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing!!

Wow, great game. Very clever use of the theme, implemented so well. Great Job! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Woah, the art is amazing in this one! I love the idea and the design here is just so clever. Definitely has potential if expanded upon a bit futher. 

I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute!

Thank you so much for playing!!

Holy wow, this is the best game I've seen so far. Everything: the art, sound, story, and of course the theme of the game. This could honestly be built upon to sell. I told them there was 6 people in the room and that I was Jesus. Then I was prevented from spelling my name backwards by some malevolent force. I'm gonna come back to finish this when I have more time. Well done!!

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much! That means a great deal to us!! I think you might have made a certain *malevolent force* angry with your name choice. Haha! 

Developer(+1)

Love your comment so much haha. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

Wonderful presentation! The music, visuals, and vibe were all very engaging. While I wished there was some form of "checkpoint" or skippable dialogue when you've already gotten a certain scene, it was very interesting trying to find all the different options and dialogue from the characters. Great work!

Developer(+2)

A checkpoint or some sort of save system is a great idea!! Skippable dialogue is a must for when it gets longer. We will look into it! Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing!

Amazing art, creative premise & interpretation of the theme, & overall a really polished package. That said, the gameplay wore on me after a while of repeating & speeding through dialogue while trying to figure out where the will is hidden. If it's hidden in the dialogue, it feels like it must be on an esoteric branch I missed or there's a very subtle hint I'm missing.

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much for the feedback!! It is absolutely not your fault you missed the hint; we made it too vague. We had a lot of ideas for clues and ran out of time to implement them. The hint is hidden in the dialogue! Thanks for taking the time to play!! ^^;

Developer(+1)

I for sure made some of the hints too vague/hidden. I plan to make some adjustments after the jam. Thank you so much for the feedback!

I wasn't expecting a deduction game. This game is a great surprise.
congratulations to the team !!

Thank you so much for playing!

The art is sooo good!

I told them the ghost's name was deesnuts lol

Developer(+2)

Hahahaha! Thanks! I wanted to make a unique reaction if someone put in 69 as the age but we didn't have time. Thanks for playing!!!

Submitted(+2)

Super super super cool! Presentation and sound are top notch! Idea is super novel too! Kind of insane for a 48 hour jam

Developer(+2)

Thank you so so much for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

The art is impeccable! Loved the concept of the mechanic, though could tune some of the puzzles better. Very solid entry!

Developer(+1)

Yes, we absolutely want to add on to and improve the puzzle elements in the future! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!
