Don't take my grading too hard; I thought that this was very well done. I can't call it a "fun" game on principle, since the theme is quite grim. That doesn't mean it's a bad game, far from it. The story is well done and straight to the point. It captures the monotony of depression very effectively. The interactions are pretty basic and I would have liked to see more integrations with variables and items, as well as dialog "thoughts" from interaction with random items to enhance immersion. Overall, I think you did a very good job with this and I could see you turning it into a very powerful emotional experience given more time to develop it.

I liked this one quite a bit! I love cats, so this resonated with me. Talking to the different cats and the humans revealed a pretty upsetting narrative that stuck with me. The interactions work well, although they are a little shallow. I feel like more could have been done to allow the cat to interact with the environment and enhance the immersion. Otherwise, well done!

Really well done. The story is unique and interesting; I've never considered the concept of an artifact that allows you to see into the thoughts of other people and integrating that into relationship building between characters. The interactions from a functional standpoint are a little shallow, I feel as though you could have expanded on using variables and items to enhance the immersion. Otherwise, really well done for a short Bitsy game.

Pretty solid overall. The story is gripping and tragic, but ambiguous enough to be left to interpretation. Travelling through the weird intestine-like tubes was interesting at first but quickly became tedious. Reminded me of Atari 2600 games like Adventure, and as a huge retro nerd, I really appreciated that. Big fan of your narratives, as depressing as they may be. Good job!

This is pretty good though falls short a bit. I really liked the server room area, that was pretty fun to play! Functionally it is sound. Creativity wise, I wish you went further with it. It has sparks of interesting moments and intrigued, but ends rather soon. Theme wise it is touching the surface of Empathy and doesn't quite go as deep in the discussion, but I have a feeling that's due to running out of time. Overall, visually this is pretty cool and well done - it has that going for it. It just needs to now deliver on the story and impact, and I think you have what it takes. I encourage you to explore more moments like the server room.
