I have never done a visual novel before but I got to hack into a guys tinder account so that was pretty cool. Good job!

How does your game fit the theme?
I was in the train when I saw the theme and asked myself what if I'm the train. Then I thought about visual novel and how often we choose dialogue and in this game I wanted to give the opportunity for the player to create situations for dialogues instead.

Short, but incredibly sweet. Honestly one of my favorites of the jam. It's so cozy and beautiful, with the dialogue being so personal and sweet. Even the opening and closing in which you talk to us is so great. I have a single complaint, and it's just it gets a little annoying to spam-click arrow keys to choose dialogue and go through the whole process. Otherwise, everything is perfect. The visuals and music are so inviting and warm I love this game. It genuinely may the most wholesome entry.

Noble Navigatori just love the lo-fi vibe of your story!
the concept is also original, and it was a pleasure to travel with the characters for a while :)
i love that you have several stories that are little pieces from somebody's lifes and i can feel that these dialogues are important to them.
one comment that i'd like to add is that i would probably love to have more connection between characters' profiles and their dialogues. maybe i'd love not only to feel their mood but also that the information i got plays some crucial role later or lets me know them better :) or maybe add a couple more details about them? just to empathize with the characters more.
the art is also beautiful! so calming to watch the train going :)

How to become a quest MasterI didn't expect to find this type of game at this Jam, I'm glad to have come across it.

School of Dungeon MasterCool idea and I like the calming art style and music. I found it a bit slow but I think that's because I am not used to this genre of game and so will not judge it badly for this :)

Egg Chickenoh wow this is really cool. i like the minimalist art and the bgm you chose, sure, but the core idea is what makes this game unique. i really love when narrative choices are framed in unusual ways. it def feels like you could make a slightly longer game with more stories using this exact framework :) thank you!
Well done! I really like the art direction, which gives it a very cute look.

The Hunter and the PreyUnique concept, strong idea and incredibly wholesome. I mean it, I love the fact that the dev just told the story of how they got there. felt like being in the train with my cheek on the window and daydreaming about a sorta romantic game.
This is what game jams are about for me, thank you so much

Teach Me! Mr. Punching BagThat is a really impressive game for solo development! I loved the style and the idea itself, it was very calming and you did amazing job! I personally resonated with Bianca passenger the most :D
