Veeery clever use of the background! When it zoomed out I gasped, I didn't expect it ahah! Not to mention that it was very well made too, with so few simple shapes you managed to represent a scene accurately. This was an interesting read, I'm not familiar with the play but it got me curious... all in all, a really good story.

An honorary mention goes to the sprite of the narrator, I really liked her expressions everytime she came on screen!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our game, she's a fun gal!

A very cool concept, I really liked the story and the fact that you have the two characters speaking offscreen, while you put on screen the sprite of the canary really helps you immerse in the story, you do feel like you are walking through the mines holding the cage above in front of you. Very apt the metaphor of the caged bird, the twist at the end got me blindsided as well!

Thank you for playing, happy you liked our girl Mills <3

This was SO cute! I love it when people are able to craft stories from such simple daily bits of life like taking the subway. I have definitely found myself in the MC's situation - seeing someone with merch from something I like, and not having the courage to speak! So cool that they become friends in one of the endings!!

Very creative use of the limitations. The bag being zoomed in, the camera movements to give the background a more dynamic feel... very well crafted! And Zahra is so cute!!

Lovely, and very unexpected! I was ready for the usual hot demon VN, but got a very thought-provoking and emotional experience instead (AND the hot demon). Nice game!

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it :)

This was a great game - the visuals, the story, the assets and the way you used them. The voice actor also did such a great job, being able to convey two distinct characters... Great Job!

Love the visuals, everythign looks grungy but in a very colorful way. I let her kill me and drink all my blood right away, couldnt resist such a beauty (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Definitely my favorite game I have played so far in this jam! Highly uncomfortable, you managed to write the character as very realistic, I have definitely met people who would say things like this. The controls are also so clever, I hadn't thought I'd see anything so unique in this jam. Interesting use of visuals, too. Using a real picture as the character really made this more unsettling. I still need to find all the endings (only managed 3 so far) but I will definitely come back to play this some more later!

Fun little chat! I loved the implementation of the UI as a story element. The MC being so bad with computers was a fun touch, too :)

As others have said, the voice acting was crazy! The art was so good too, and in general I really enjoyed the concept of the story: it felt very personal and thought-provoking, especially when paired with the endings. I'll definitely have to play more of you guys' games!

This was very fun to play! I love that the diary at the beginning later came up in the story. The art is really polished, I especially loved the UI - the eyes for the hovering of choices were such a fun detail, and in general it gives off this very mystical vibes without coming off as cutesy. Really lovely game!

Hehe, we're glad you enjoyed! We had a lot of fun staying into the limitations of the jam :)

Thank you for playing!

This is very creative! First off I love the character: it's rare to see older people drawn actually old, and I think you managed to really capture the essence of this old lady. Very clever use of a single background too, with all the zooming on the relevant bones through the conversation.

Is this based on real folklore / a specific culture, or are the monsters and the names all made up? Great game!

The art is fantastic and I loved the music as well, so calming yet upbeat. I loved the Fish's lines you managed to make him sound like an old man and I thought that was so cute, and it made me want to go back and try out all the endings. Great little game!!

Cute visuals and an original concept, I love how dreamy Mint looks! 

This was an interesting read, I think that even with the word limit, you managed to convey the story pretty well and give a picture of what happened. Really suggestive!

Truly a beautiful story. The writing, the music and the art all merged together perfectly to create a somber atmosphere... an amazing vn froma an amazing team!

Thank you! We really appreciate that

Thank you so much!! So happy to hear that! :)

Thank you for playing our game, and I'm happy you liked the visuals & sound! I'm sorry to hear about the normal mode being too difficult - in the future, we might tweak it a little bit to make it more manageable, if we get more feedback like yours. But I still hope you had fun while playing! And thank you for leaving a comment, every bit of feedback is good, whether for now or future games!

THANK YOUUUU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!!! We had lots of fun working on this game, and it's great to hear it's fun to play as well!!

Thank you so much for such a kind and positive review! So happy to hear you liked our game, not only for it's gameplay but the characters as well, and the music too! I'll take a note of all the suggestions you gave us, if we ever decide to go back on this and expand on the game a bit more, in the future!

My favorite of the submissions so far. Super cute/funny assets, very unique artstyle, and incredibly compelling game. Right level of challenge, and overall a very good game! I can't get over the squirrel biting animations. So good!!!

super cute game! i loved the scrapbook concept, as well as the little references around the houses :)

thank you thank you thank you!!! we're so happy to hear you enjoyed our silly little game! the both of us are ok ko fans as well, and while this game was not intentionally inspired by it, halfway through development we realized it shared quite a few aspects with the cartoon!
we're hoping to do more stories in the future!

sending big hugs from brutus <3

THANK YOUUU for giving it a chance even if you dont normally play VNs! honestly it means even more to us that it could be an enjoyable experience despite it not being a medium you usually consume!

SO happy to hear you enjoyed LP!!! they're our little meow meow and we love them so much. super interesting to see the order in which you got all the endings, thanks for including that! we were afraid the "true" ending would have been too easy to get first try, we hoped for a playthrough similar to the one you described! thanks again for leaving feedback especially with this level of detail <3

thank youuuuu!!!

YAY we're glad to hear our characters resonated with you!! brutus is truly the brightest star of all...

hgsdklhgsdjghsd I swear this has to be one of the sweetest comments I ever got on my art!! Thank you for playing it so thoroughly and getting all the stickers. We're both so happy you had fun, especially with that one ending <3

Thank youuuuuuu! Good luck! You can use your mouse wheel to quickly go back if a choice doesn't have the expected outcome :)

Hi! We hope you enjoyed our game :) And for the ending you're missing, well... you might have a little too much good chemistry with Laser ;)
