Hi Ansel,

I absolutely loved this game. There's a certain quality to your low res pixel art style that captivated my imagination. I can tell that the dialogue was well thought out, not only because of the limitation of the medium but I felt it as a deliberate creative choice. The music, art, and narrative played wonderfully together to bring forward a meaningful emotional experience.

Looking forward to see what else you create along your game dev journey!

Best,
Sasha

Edit: Anyone reading this should read Ansel's commentary linked at the top of the itch page. It goes in depth into the work and thought put into this game, demonstrating the level of intent, care, and love that was put into this little masterpiece. <3

I've added a little cabin by a forest. :)

There's a photo of it in my newsletter where I share this game with my subscribers. I think it'd be cool to see how the town evolves and all the variations that come from this. 👀

I really liked the game. It was short but the musical shift at the key moment really altered the vibe in a way that made me question a bit deeper about the character. Super cool.

I wrote a short newsletter about it :)

I'd love to see more games like this one <3

I was drawn in by the spook and was happily spooked.

Great game! Amazing that this is your first! You clearly understand the genre :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you make in the future. Keep it up!

Hope you don't mind by I wrote a small newsletter sharing this game with folks! I'm happy to see this game is getting the love it deserves ♥

This was a fun little game! It took me a moment to understand my objective but once it clicked (didn't take long really) I had a blast trying out different strategies.

My favourite strategy was stocking up the fire, and just having fun going cryptid hunting.

I wrote a small newsletter on it.

Lastly, fantastic work on the character model and animations. They're pretty good for 5 days of work! Hope you try your hand at more game jams in the future! :)

This was a weird wonderful experience :P
Just the right type of humour I was looking for today.

I wrote a newsletter about it.. had a hard time finding the right words though lol

I'm interested in seeing where this game goes and the other projects you may have cooking up.

Keep it up. Love it.

This game is so great! I'm absolutely nuts about the art. If you want to hear all about my thoughts, I wrote a newsletter about it! You can check it out here.

Can't wait to see what you folks come up with next.

I loved the interpretation of the theme 'Collections'.
Enjoyed the non-serious narrative of Tama-burnout.

It had me consider what this would actually be like in real life.
How many Tamagotchi's would there need to be before I'm overwhelmed?

I'm curious if there's any plan to grow this game further? With more Tamas, mini games, etc?

Super cute, would love to see more stuff like this.

I wrote a short newsletter for your game. I hope it helps some.

Good luck with your jam submission! 🙂
