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.

I'd already completed my game before finding 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...
