I agree with you - I was thrown off my immersion during the argument story as well. Maybe it's my perspective now as an adult, but I didn't see any reason to be so worked up about it. I think overall the kids were treated maybe too much like children for a lot of the story, but it's also kind of a nice family dynamic to have such present parents.

I wanted to enjoy this but learning that the summaries are AI soured the experience. I would have preferred a set list of more succinct stories instead - ones that you could read once, enjoy, then aren't pressured to need to read again. These AI generated stories are nonsense and don't add any value to the game, slowing down the experience instead.
Beautifully written!!! Short but powerful and the snippets of backstory were *chef's kiss*
I wish the story allowed for more closure for the MC, and some more exploration of the killer's motives (for example, why they even dated MC in the first place - was it to try and blind them to the truth?)
I'm sure describing the ambiance despite having muted "ghost senses" was a challenge (I'm not sure ghosts can smell things? lol) but you still did what I thought was a great job!
Super fun game! Spent a whole day on it then accidentally wiped my 350+ population town lol. RNG can really break your run early on if your pier doesn't give you island pieces, or if you get stuck with like five lumberyards when you don't have a single tree.
Wish there were clearer initial instructions about how lumberyards/quarries worked and stacked (e.g. you can't clear them without a tree nearby). I liked how creating enclosed ponds let you place piers freely without the extra gunk.
Has a lot of potential! Unfortunately I didn't realize the restart option restarted the whole game and not the level I was on, so I gave up on completing it.
I think the skills need to be a bit better explained and the enemy attacks a bit more obvious as I lost several times not due to strategic fails but because I didn't understand why certain skills failed to work.
Edit: I see this was for a game jam, which is SUPER impressive considering the short amount of time it took. Great stuff.
