Haha, I love that! 🤝 I've definitely been enjoying your stuff so far, I bookmarked several games for later :) Osage Orange was a cool and interesting experience (also surprisingly educational)!

What a lovely little scene! I really enjoyed the writing and the atmosphere! I'm not usually a huge fan of sound in IF, but I thought it fit very nicely here. (I also liked the "graphics", hahaha)

Well done! I had small issues with some of the interactions (and I would have loved for things like the lamp or plants to be mentioned in the general room description). But I loved the premise and I enjoyed the game! The writing has some really funny (sometimes interesting and/or adorable) moments, and the characters have great personality.

My game was already pretty much done before I found the 2025 Annual Jam (it was made for this year's IFComp, an interactive fiction competition), but the jam themes are such a perfect fit that I was inspired to make a submission! I'm working on improved releases for 2026, to fill out the interactions a little more and fix some stray bugs.

Ah, nice! Game jams are definitely great for that kind of thing. And yeah, a bunch of us are going through to start checking out the games and confirm they're eligible 🙂 (good luck with the showcase once it opens!)

Neat little jam game, I especially enjoyed all the fun references in the achievements!

Adorable illustrations! I loved the thoughtful (and fun) take on the curse concept 🐸 the choice of symbol at the start was a really nice touch, too!

Beautiful and very sweet, well done!

Haha, thank you!! I love all your mouse games and pictures, I'm looking forward to trying them soon 🐭

I'm a bit late to the party (got here from Narrascope) but I just wanted to say: this is great! Super intriguing horror premise, and the graphics were perfect. It's cool to know there are so many more endings to discover too.

I found the characterization and themes especially interesting – expectations of masculine appearance and behaviour, tensions between sexes, unhealthy mindsets and influences, community (or lack thereof), insecurities and self-image, etc... I'd love to hear about your thoughts/approach/inspirations, if you have anything to share! The link to real-life issues felt really impactful and I thought it raised some important questions.

Oh thank you so much for the kind comment, that really made my day!! :)
To be honest I'm a little embarrassed about my past games since I can't help noticing all the mistakes I made, but knowing that it can still resonate with people is the best feeling ever 🤍

(By the way I haven't had a chance to play your game yet but I've bookmarked it for later, it looks super cute!)

This is so cool! I absolutely love the concept and your writing is superb!

I'm not sure if I finished the game or just hit a dead-end, as I became stuck on this screen:

But regardless, I had a lot of fun trying out all the different combinations!

Thank you so much for the kind comment, it means a lot and seriously made my week!! Beyond the experimental aspect I was really just hoping to make something fun that would bring players a bit of joy, so I'm very happy to know that it managed to hit the mark 😊

I like the way that the player's helplessness is leveraged here — very thematic! A relatable and somewhat thought-provoking little game. Well done! 😊

Agreed!! Unfortunately 😅
After lots of trial and error I've found that those little advance preparations and improved habits can actually be effective for me, but it's still a huge struggle!
It's good to remember we're not alone in this! 🤝

Adorable and nostalgic (with some fun humour too)! I'm already fully invested in their relationship 🧜‍♀️💕

Thank you very much for the comment and feedback, it's super appreciated!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the game 😊

Yeah, I'm really sorry if that step was a bit too obscure, I struggled to figure out how to hint at it without outright spoiling the puzzle... I'm hoping to eventually implement a deeper hint system, but sadly I haven't had the time yet. For now I'll try uploading a simple walkthrough to the different endings, just in case it could help people get unstuck if/when they need it!

Neat game, well done! I loved the cute little (or not-so-little) slime!
I'm not usually into platformers, but I still found this engaging with its slight puzzle elements and nice theming!

Amazing 💯

Ah, I thought this issue could only be avoided with a fullscreen mode, but resizing the window fixed it after all! Yay

I love the concept for this, very cool!!
Sadly I can't click the play button because the itch UI is covering it...
