itch.io

Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to give a "quick" ;-) review. We will indeed try to fix at least some of the issues. The pixel hunt wasn't meant as such, I hope we will find a way to address that.

yeah, it is wordy...  It is easy to get carried away ;-)  Thanks for playing, Spion.
I would have loved to see Oma Inge making or receiving an unexpected visit... maybe next time?

It's such a shame that life came in the way of working on the game. I love what I see presentation-wise. Can't say much about the story, but the black and white look is very charming.

Thank you for uploading what you had, nonetheless! I hope you continue working on the game! :-)

Well, it is short and I assume the story would be resolved in the missing finale. Would love to know why grandma sent the letter and why the town seems to be abandoned  ;-) There is a bit of signposting for the puzzles so they are solvable, but they don't make much sense (in the game's world or otherwise).  Why would the gate open like this or the sings in the park be connected to ...(spoiler)? The graphics and character animation are beautiful.

But a big step up since the last jam in my opinion.

What a beautiful game, great graphics. And I am so jealous of your incredible cast of voice actors. And a nice spooky story. Great work everyone.

I guess there was a bit more gameplay planned as some of the rooms serve no real purpose. And I would have wished for a puzzle here or there. But I know, time was short ;-)

This was fun. The story is interesting - but a bit weird and I'm not really sure how this dimensional shift happened, but in a short game you can't explain everything  :-) 

I love the cute graphics and the idea to represent the inventory with two hands. There is indeed a small hickup with the pathfinding, but nothing major. Well done, all!

Thank you! :-)
And yes, you all make a good point about the music, we need to fix that.

Thank you for playing and the feedback!
Regarding the music - don't make offers like this lightly, we may take you up on that. :-)

Thank you! :-)

Thank you so much for playing our little game and posting the video!

I'm glad you liked it. :-)

Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it. :-)

Thank you Luis. ^^
I hope you'll have fun with it.

I hope you will find a use for them soon. Have you talked to everybody in town? 

Thank you for your feedback.
You are right, the game is very quiet. We didn't have time to search for more sfx or fitting music. And that is why there aren't many custom responses when trying stuff that isn't necessary. That is something we can and will address after the voting period. (as well as the bug with the funnel, thanks for pointing that out)
In regard of the right click - that is a conscious decision we made. We prefer the two button interface like in the Broken Sword games, to give additional info when looking at things. 

could you try again? We had to upload the html build again.
Now it is working, hopefully. At least for me using firefox as browser.

Have you found a book about plants? If so, look at it. :-)

A wonderful game that left me with a warm fuzzy feeling at the end. :-)  I really enjoyed the graphics, atmosphere and the excellent voice cast. 

Thanks for putting this game on itch.io as well! 

Hi! I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing and animation.

oh yes, it's possible to add that as an option.

I've been wanting to update that game for a while (music, soundeffects...) and keep pushing it aside. I'm trying to do it in the next weeks.

Awwww, thanks so much for playing and posting that video. I'm glad you liked it. ^^

Thank you so much, seagull. I am glad you liked it. ^^

Thank you! (I uploaded the finished version now.)

A cute litte game with whimsical and charming graphics. Clever idea to put her on rollerskates.^^ The puzzles were not too hard but engaging enough to have good feeling after solving them. The music was fitting and the sound-effects made it lively. 

A really solid entry, great work! And to think that this was your first game with Visionaire makes it even more impressive - you even tackled some scripting for the "thinking bubbles"! Kudos!

Your game truely lived up to the promise of beeing frustrating... I know it was by design, but having to start over and over again isn't something that brings me joy. (not a big fan of the old Sierra-style ;-) ) But I can't deny it fitted the theme. ^^
I managed to get to the end of the game (luckily there was a bug that made it possible to skip the random fishing), but most of the time it was just pure guesswork with no clues whatsoever.  I know, wanting to show off your knowledge of other adventure games can be a strong urge, but it usually doesn't add anything to the enjoyment of a game. Make a game your own, not a nod to others. 

You put a lot of puzzles and scenes in there. Kudos for that! I just think less but with more polish (signposting) would have been more.

A bit of music or soundeffects would have been nice. Adding voiceover was a nice idea. I whished you would have used some premade (licensed or free to use) graphics for the backgrounds - it was sometimes hard to make out what one was supposed to see.

This game has a wonderful atmosphere and great art! The story is dark but compelling. 

I tried a few times to get to a "good" ending, but maybe I didn't manage to get all information or there is none?  I'm not sure if the order in which you ask questions matter...
You did a great job creating this in your very first attempt with the engine, truely impressive! There are a few quirks here and there, but nothing that would lessen the enjoyment of playing the game.

Thank you Javier! I do hope there is more to play on Halloween.

I can't remember to have said anything along those lines... 😜
Thank you for the feedback. The sound was added last minute and needs some attention. 
About speech bubble around the head - you mean the dialog options? Oh dear - that would require creating your own dialog system instead of using Visionaires default one. Nothing I would even begin to think about in a jam.

Ok, this should be fixed now. :-)

Ah sorry, my bad. I will fix it this evening.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Geschichte.^^ Ich habe zwei Durchläufe hinter mir, aber immer noch das Gefühl nicht alles gesehen zu haben.
Wunderbar!

Thank you! ^^

Is it possible, that you set the scaling in your OS to something other than 100%? Sadly that leads to issues on displaying the html5 build.
If so, you could try setting it to 100% for playing the game. (If you still want to ^^ )

I just had a lot of fun with the demo. 
I love the idea of the game to control the hero via the npc's. That's really something new (at least to me). The graphics are gorgeous, voiceacting is good, dialogs are fun - I'm looking forward to the full game.
Great job!

So sorry for the late reply. Sometimes the settings for scaling in your OS can lead to trouble in the html version, if it's anything other than 100%. Maybe that is the case here?
And thank you for playing !

I am a bird lover! ;-)
Cute and fun little game. I love the graphics, especially the animations.

What a loveley game. I had a lot of fun with the back and forth between the hero and the narrator, messed up nearly all the dice rolls, was a desaster on the karaoke stage and got myself a nasty splinter. Next to the fun there is a touching story, interesting characters and well crafted dialogues. All wrapped up in a great atmosphere, chic graphics and a moody soundtrack.
Thank you for that little gem. :-)

I can't find the demo. It says demo below but I don't see a download button.

you need to click with the right mouse button to look (or stare) at things

Thank you so much for playing my games! I'm glad you liked it. ^^
