whoa awesome!! I'll do another playthrough soon! The visuals and mechanics of this game are really lovely so I'm excited to see more of it :)

Beautiful game, with amazing potential! Could I have some help getting through the cave though? There's a spot that looks like where I should go through... but I keep getting stuck, and I have to refresh the page since I can't get out. I'm just not sure where to go and I've tried a few times to figure it out but I just keep falling! I'd love to explore more but I just can't get past that one spot.

The try-hard limitations were well executed! The changing music, photo images, and lack of text definitely create kind of a surreal experience, but it's refreshingly unusual and both intuitive yet challenging to play!

The writing is really funny, I like the direction and I think it has potential if you wanted to take it somewhere in the future! :)

This was really cute and cozy! A bit difficult to get the mechanics at first , but once I got the flow it was easier. I'd love a money counter or to be able to play for longer, but overall it's a really lovely game!

I had a blast playing this, it's a super polished game and really satisfying and cozy! The atmosphere and view outside the windows is such a nice touch, and I love the painting on the wall. If you were to continue with this, I'd say some more variations of customers would be nice, and a response that works for both pies and drinks would be great too. It's intuitive, satisfying to get into the movement flow, and really fun.

Super cozy premise! The food all looks great, and the visuals feel really polished. The core mechanics are good and I like the soup making process, it's just unfortunate that the bread glitch makes it really hard to get past the first order or two. I'd love some more from the cutscene -- music in the background, and the art in the cutscene feels a little low resolution. I don't mind the lack of labels actually, I think it makes you think and adds a bit of challenge, so that you learn and remember which are which. It's not too difficult to figure out which is the beef vs. chicken anyway!

Super cozy game!! :D I really liked the puzzles, it was satisfying to gradually learn the path to take! The cutscene at the start is really cute too. If i were to nitpick anything I would say the art styles could be a bit more consistent. There's different line weights and brushes for the lineart, and they make the characters and backgrounds feel a bit disconnected. That's just a small detail though, it's a beautiful game!

I'm so glad both of you enjoyed the game!! Hopefully I can help explain some things -- when you first talk to a critter, they go to a specific room in the tree. clicking on their room on the map in the top right will show their quests (both inside the tree and outside of the tree). After collecting the items they request and storing them in your bag and/or the chest in the tree, you can talk to them again with F (find their room with the top right tree map, while inside the tree) and complete the quest (and gain acorns). The "buy" signs in the tree help you complete quests by letting you buy items you're missing for 3 acorns (and there's no way to sell extra items).
There's a bit to get the hang of, so hopefully this helps :). Thanks again for playing!

Super cute and cozy game!! The customizable weather is a nice touch, and the aesthetic is all very cohesive.

Absolutely STUNNING game!!! This art is insane, I'm beyond impressed. the gameplay and environment is really crisp too, I love the idea of having a table you can turn down to to work. I also had trouble with the puzzles, but I'll just have to brute force it sometime and keep notes bc seeing all the character art is so worth it

Really satisfying game mechanics, stunning artwork, and just an overall really polished game!! One of my favorites for sure. It's an adorable game. Once I saw that leaderboard at the end, I was definitely motivated to lock in -- good motivator, haha.

The art is gorgeous!! You have such a fun style, and I loved the characters!

I've played a few horror games and this genuinely stressed me out more than most of them!!! And kudos to having a genuinely terrifying death animation -- that got me every time. The talisman is a really cool mechanic too!

The art is really beautiful! The narrative approach reminded me a bit of Slay the Princess

I adore this!! You created great tension (read: I got stressed and jumped when the monster came close) and the visual design of the overall game is really cohesive. The mechanics feel unique and refreshing, and also add to the stress of the game. Great job!

That's the end! If we come back to this project at some point, maybe we can make that a  bit clearer.

thank you!!

Thank you so much, and thank you for playing! There's a bit more variety on the notes now, but unfortunately no mushrooms to find yet. Maybe in a future update haha

The gecko art is adorable!! Fun mechanics and music, I love the vibe :)

This game is a blast!! Both challenging and creative, and a satisfying playstyle. Very fun :)
