Really fun game!! If you had time you should make a cover art with the game title on it! I would love to use that in a Showcase Saturday video for the intro (when shovel talks about how many games submitted by the community)

Also, if you all are interested in joining a cool discord community from Inboundshovel (he hosted a game jam on itch last year and got quite a lot of entries as well), feel free to do so. He plays a variety of games on youtube each week to give feedback to people's projects. I don't know if I'm allow to post a link here but his discord invite link is on his youtube page :)
I love it! The art is gorgeous, I really like the little detail you added in your character so they feel like real characters (like the butler will bow when you passes him)
I especially love the possess ability, unlocks so many different interations and it's really fun to explore those options with different characters.
I didn't run into any game breaking bugs, each item works perfectly. I did notice the coffin at the end of the hall will go above the main character's head when we're near it (looks pretty funny tho lol)
I also do wish that we could move faster, since main part of the gameplay is going around the mansion and talk to people, I wish I could get to places faster so the interesting part can happen.
But overall I had lots of fun playing, and I personally think that the gameplay is much more interesting than a lot of games with similar genre I've played in the past (for example: Project Kat)
Impressive you got all these working in 4 days! I think it's a really good start! The first 2 levels are a bit identical so maybe change the 2nd level to a slightly different one (maybe introduce press "space" to jump and have player jump over a gap, or something).
I like the art, it's very stylish and calming! I do think the main character being dark while on top of a gradiant dark background could be a bit challenging to see at times.
Great work!!
Hello everyone!

We will use the feedback to improve the future Shovel jams! Thank you all so much for your time!!
Thank you for replying! I think that's actually what I did! I grab the lemon and juice them in the machine, and I got a cup of lemonade, I put it down in front of the customer, but they are not leaving, and the patience bar is still ticking, and then the customer left, my store got shut down! I also figured out how to cut the lemons. But I think the customers have an orange slice on their head, maybe the order of the demand got randomized? I don't really think they're looking for lemonade...
I'm having the same problem as RevolverDog and Double Crescent Productions. Please let us know how to serve our first drink, thank you!
