So many puns! Ah this was a delight. The characters were unique and fun, and the MC's rose-coloured glasses made those interactions extra funny. I was so pleasantly surprised when Dave started speaking in Latin (wise choice if I do say so myself). A fun ride all the way through! Great jam entry!

Short and sweet  deliciously demonic. There was great attention to detail here, and the different elements worked really well together, from UI to character art to writing. I was in awe of the music/sfx, and it was really interesting to hear more about the thought process behind it in the dev talk stream with mistershins. I also really liked the flame animation, I love that kind of stuff and know how it can take ~awhile~ to animate, so special kudos for that <3 Well done, team!

You're welcome! I'll keep an eye out for what you bring out next!

Thank you so much! Delighted you enjoyed it :)

Thank you!

I played through to the good and bad endings. The first thing that stands out is how naturally the dialogue flows, there's a natural, logical escalation to their arguing, and their making up. And the choices feel meaningful and are plenty to divert from a path. Such a great exploration of built-up resentment and a break down in communication. The art, UI, VA and music were all great too, striking a really nice balance together. A really polished visual novel. Well done, team!

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you had fun playing! Character artist really brought Aunt Viv to life (well, undeath).

Thanks very much! The team really appreciate your lovely feedback!

Oh this was a delight. The voice acting was fantastic, really bringing out the different characters' personalities even more. The artwork was so nice to look at, and I enjoyed the bantering throughout this lil adventure. I got to 3 endings! This was clearly made with a lot of love. Great stuff!

Aw, really cute and wholesome. And I enjoyed noticing all the tiny details in the backgrounds! And your first VN, congrats! :D

This was such a silly, delightful little VN. The dialogue had me chuckling (especially the puns), I think I got to all the endings? Some routes ended a little abruptly but honestly that had me chuckling too. And OMG the music goes hard! I'm definitely keen to see what comes next; this was my kind of silly humour, more please!

Aw, such a lovely story. Made me tear up at the end. Great visual novel all round, with lovely sprites, backgrounds, and UI, as well as music that fits so well with the tone. Really solid jam entry, well done whole team!

My first playthrough I got out! So naturally had to play a few more times. I got a few endings, would love to see a bit more lore as the story definitely caught my interest; couldn't find the note of one of the women but pieced together enough via the others, and the 4(?) endings I got. The maze definitely felt disorienting and claustrophobic (yay!), voice acting was also delightful. Great job!

What a great twist at the end! The mystery hooks you from the start. I liked the play with the dialogue, how parts are repeated later, and the clues are sprinkled in, hinting at an unreliable narrator. Great!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Thank you very much! :D

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. A sequel? Hmm... I should run this by the team...

Oh, the voices are such a delight, as is music and sound effects. Great line 'I don't like reaping what hasn't had a chance to grow'. I really like the art style, it's not too busy and characters pop off the background (buttons on right a little harder to see). One note: on a few occasions, there's a line after my choice that says certain characters were gone when they shouldn't be yet, which got me a little confused. Played through a few times, and enjoyed the stories told by the different characters. This was a really unique VN and fun to play. Congrats to the whole team on a great entry!

Oh this was a journey, and I loved it. Did not know where it was going to take me but I just relaxed and took my time with it. The characters, and their relationships, feel real, and the choices flow really nicely from them. I tried all 3 endings, highly recommend. Congrats to the whole team on such a wonderful gem of a  VN. I particularly loved the freaky fae, that's the kind of weird I'm a sucker for (I want them as stickers, my beloveds). Awesome job!

Aren't evil grannies just the best? So glad to hear you enjoyed it! And Roo was an absolute gift to the project, very grateful.

Thank you! So glad you had fun with it, that was the ultimate goal :)

Oh this was creepy! Dialogue flowed really well, with believable characters. Good stuff!

Aw nice little story. Free Luigi!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ah okay. Is the secret ending the one where she reveals her name? (I got to that one) (OK imma move the rest of my response to the discord lol)

This was spooky! I definitely enjoyed the jumpscares, that slow zoom in to the reveal, the timing, the sounds. I really like the art style too, it's not too much detail or too little. The monsters all look so good! I love their design, really good in terms of both idea and execution. The fact that the monster appearances and doll's hiding place are both random really made me want to try out different paths; I wanted to see all the monsters frankly.

At one playthrough I returned to the kitchen and after the line "..salt water, just in case." it jumped to "You involuntarily try to..." line but I hadn't selected anything to give me a fright and make me start choking. It's a minor detail but thought to just let you know.

I've reached a couple of endings (hmm, how many are there?) and really enjoyed them. It's hard to think of any suggestions to improve the VN aside from the above line point... Maybe getting someone to just proofread in future? I spotted a few small grammatical errors, but honestly they're so minor. This is a really good VN, I hope you're proud of your achievement here; doing the jam solo, especially with so many endings, is no small feat! I liked it a lot; hope it gets more attention.

Ahh! Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I love Paddy, too. Paddy is precious. Thank you for the lovely comments. I look forward to playing your Spooktober entry soon too! <3

Thank you so much! It sure was a balancing act, and it didn't come out the way I planned it, but I'm glad it was ultimately enjoyable. :)

Thank you! I'm glad the writing seems to have resonated well with people, especially as it's my main focus and I wasn't very happy with it in submission. I'll be releasing an update which will clean up a few things I haven't had a chance to pre-submission, such as for the play experience around the prep and cooking stages :) Thank you for the feedback, and congrats on your awesome entry!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you had fun, and sorry if the bad ending pulled on the heartstrings. It did for me when I had to draw poor Paddy like that. Your comments are just lovely, thank you <3

Thank you for playing! And for leaving a comment! I really appreciate it. The accidental click has been patched up in the latest update, so no more missing the scene :)

It was a pleasure. Good luck with the jam results, and path to teaching!

Yay!

Oof I finished all the endings and just wanted more! Maybe another day or so passing where more strange things happen. I think for one of the playthroughs the MC's response to boss yelling felt a little abrupt, like I had maybe missed an earlier escalating encounter. There were many parts of the story I really like - the stories told by MC, the subtler references to eating and hair, the endings were great (I esp. like where the high trust one ends). This is such a great little horror VN! Someone mentioned vibes and yeah, the vibes are great. It strikes a really cool balance with different elements, and I wish there was a bit more I could ~eat~.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it enjoyable :) Your own entry is wonderful, I love it <3
