yo. thanks for taking the time to play, & leaving this lovely comment 😭 the details u pointed out are some of my favourites. the silence at grandma's grave, hints of deeper problems + exploring and finding memes... all silly (maybe) but important bits i really wanted folks to enjoy.

reading ur thoughts on the project is a bit like looking at it with fresh eyes. its very motivating and cathartic. so thank u for sharing. hopefully u are able to check out the full release when its ready. much love ty ❤️🐸

thx for playing!!! and yea i feel u. im sure they'll get there eventualllly......... 👀💋😘

ayo. glad u've enjoyed the project!! ❤️ thanks sm fer the lovely comment!!!! update is definitely "IN PROGRESS" (maybe dont check every day tho lmaooo) 🙏🐸

🙏 lol! ((honestly tht would b an even more accurate title / description 4 this))

wooooooo!! TY. cant wait to share it when itz readyyy ❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️

🙏🐸❤️

ayo! great question! plan is to have the full release on both Steam and Itch, ideally both as an .EXE file and a GameBoy rom. may potensh look at putting it up on some other storefronts (+ a limited physical release & Nintendo Switch release if poss)

Kia ora! ayoooo, thanks sm for stopping by, really appreciate all of the love & enthusiasm from the Pavs peeps (lmao the SWEEP). Can't wait to complete the release, happy to flick u an advance copy closer to the date if u wanted to give any feedback!! <3

Ahh tysm, really appreciate that!!! yea definitely wanted to evoke some ancient MySpace evils for those who were around 2 experience it <3

aww yeeaah! thanks sm for ur support!! tamagotchi maaay not make it in to the release build (rip) bt its on the cards 4 sure. post-release will be looking in2 translation, soooo may reach out then depending on how things are goin!! ❤️❤️

hiii, no worries its a little unclear, haha. u need to interact w/ the chest of drawers in Ken's room (positioned in the top left corner). select "Get dressed" after u get prompted.

will make it more clear next update <3

*very* tempting 2 turn it into a horror, hahaaa. maybe for a sequel / prequel. would be cool 2 explore darker themes! ❤️ thnks for playing!!

haha, no worries!! tbf no major updates **yet** but... its on the way for april ((fingers crossed etc)) ✿◠_◠✿

thats super kind, thank u sm!!! glad 2 have some Ken fans around 💪🐸

<3<3 cheers for that!!! honestly super excited (+ a lil nervous) to get it all done, haha. will be a good milestone tho

❤️ thank uuuu! && yesss i also crAvE 8bit queer content. there shall be more! ❤️

appreciate ur comment sm! yea rlly wanted 2 set it somewhere 'real' instead of a made up place like USA. a bold choice 2 b sure ❤️

ur totally right abt weighing up the ~gameplay vs narrative~ and kind of opting to not pad things out. the idea was to make a short, story-focused game (so this demo is actually abt 1/2 of the total content, haha). thanks again for taking the time 2 share ur kind thoughts (ᵔᵕᵔ)

thanks sm! slowly gtting the full version done ❤️

❤️ heck yea!! just need some void eggs & maple bars in the mix 💪🐸

hehehe. ok i guess i can make some more!!

(thank uuu 💪🐸❤️)

haha -- itch was keeping the notifications secret from me too (or I forgot)!!

wicked u found ur gameboy!!! hope u are enjoying the pokemon brainrot, i'm actually playing a Silver Nuzlocke at the moment... im up to Whitney w/ her Miltank soooo (prayers needed). the lemon demon playlist will surely guide u 2 greatness.

ill keep the spaghetti threat in mind as im working (its definitely a motivator) ❤️❤️❤️❤️

eek! thank u for coming out of lurker mode 2 leave such a lovely comment! im so glad u did ❤️

with the memes -- definitely looking fer ways 2 give the player more info abt what u've collected + options 2 look bk over it!!! (mbbe pseudo "achievements" 2 track?? 👀)

I cant wait either,, working on this part time makes it a slow (steady) process, ahaaa

thanks so muchh!!! feel like theres some universal truth 2 being stuck pining/wingmanning (or both), pleased 2 hear it resonated! AHA, ohhhhh the ~phone game~ is brutal. therell likely be even more levels for it (optional) in the full version, so u'll need the practice, hehe. ❤️❤️❤️

heyoo! im stoked that u been enjoying the game & all its silly lil details 🐛❤️. Glad 2 hear u are keeping the emo dream alive!! all the best for the music ur writing, i hope it turns out awesome!!! \(ᵔᵕᵔ)/

❤️!!! thank u sm for the lovely feedback -- nostalgic & comfy r 100% some of the main pillars i wanted 2 pull from, really happy 2 hear that comes thru!!!! appreciate u checking it owtttt (✿◠‿◠)

me neither honestly ❤️❤️❤️

aeeeee, yup its set in small town New Zealand (our team live here)!! it defs colours the manner in which some things play out w/ the story, but its a sort of easter egg too, lol! thks sm for playing <3<3

🔥🔥🔥 ahhhHHHHhHHH. phew. holy heck.ur beautiful comment killd + ressurected me. thanks sm 4 ur spicy kind words and spaghetti threats l0l. promise the full version is coming along (slow bt steady). appreci8 ur compliments on the sprites + setting, i was actually partially inspired by pokemon romhacks i played as a kid,, so love that it makes u want 2 go play those in gremlin mode ((do a nuzlocke i dare u)) 💪🐸❤️ thank uu

Hiiii, okay so once u have "made" the first key in the graveyard (you've found 3 pieces from the big angel statues) it will unlock the left-most crypt of the pair of crypts near the *top right* of the graveyard map. Hope that helps. Will aim 2 make this section a bit clearer in an update probably!! Thx 4 playing ❤️❤️

eee, thanks sm, im excited too!!! (✿◠‿◠) 🐛🐛

💪🐸❤️❤️ thank u

Hiya!!! to change you clothes you gotta interact with the chest of drawers in Ken's room (top left with a TV on it) and select "Get dressed" after u get prompted. hope that helps <3

ahhh, thx very much! gotta make it perfect and tasty!!! <3

❤️ ayo!! thanks so much 4 the thoughtful comment! full version will be abt twice as looong (this demo is 1/2 the game). bt i have plans for sequels!! thx 4 the feedback on the collision, its something id like 2 clean up in the full vers as well!!
