Excellent game, I'm very impressed! I found the game to be very engaging and addictive, with varying objectives that required a lot of engagement (selling, fishing, farming, etc). Small touches like the objectives at the top right corner really helped me focus on the core objectives without getting distracted. I found the game to be a little too fast paced, as I struggled to keep up with the needs of the crops, even earlier on - simply slowing down the crop life-cycle may help players keep up.

Additionally, the graphical and music styles match the tone very well. I felt the sprite choices were really cohesive, and overall kept with the fam-sim theme. For a little improvement, some important features (such as water) blend in well with the surrounding decoration - some means of highlighting them when necessary may help communicate important information to the player.

Overall, I had a lot of fun, and get very addicted to it. Good luck with the jam! 

Thank you for playing my game! And thanks for the detailed feedback, it's super helpful.
As for events in the game, a lot of them are just random (x% chance on given days) - it didn't occur to me that, from the player's point of view,  it all appears to be connected. I may expand on this in future projects to address this, by making "events" like this dependent on the player's previous experiences - thanks for pointing this out. Additionally, I only included a browser version - next time, I'll make sure to include a windows version as well.
Good luck with the jam, and thank you for the valuable feedback! 🫡

Thank you so much for playing my game (and apologies for the very late reply!)!! The feedback is appreciated, I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Will make sure to focus on the theme, and looking forward to next year's jam 🫡

Thanks for the feedback - shall take into consideration for future projects

Very impressive!! Unique gameplay and storytelling, especially with visuals and cutscene. Incredibly impressed all round. Good luck with future projects, this one was awesome.

Good job! Very interesting concept, and the art provided is excellent. Very good use of gameplay for storytelling. For further improvement, communicate to the player if it is possible to avoid certain situations, such as people talking to them outside - possibly through visual cues, or other signals. Directions could also help guide the player to their destination at the Post Office.

I enjoyed the meaningful commentary on living with anxiety, and I feel this is a good concept for further exploration.
