This is an awesome idea! I really like the way the game looks as well, I wish I could play it!

I played this in windowed mode and as far as I'm aware the game didn't work properly. I got lots of '???' in chats and I couldn't jump into other people. On the other hand, great graphics and awesome music :D.

P.S. I played the game out of the zip, so if that is what caused the issue ignore my complaints about the bugs

Great mood, and good idea (:

Awesome! I wish I hadn't gotten stuck, even with the hints. MOAR HINTS!

Great idea of diving into the minds. :-)
I just got stuck after giving the dog food, is there an end that I missed? ^^

Since people seem to be stuck, I added more hints in the new link (the Windows folder comes with less hints than the new link so those first)

Got as far as the dojo with a cryptic letter clue and couldn't figure it out any further. Interesting concept.

The art and music are great, and I really like the premise behind the thought-reading, it kind of reminds me of the idea from Watch Dogs of hacking into peoples' stuff to uncover their secrets, except you're "hacking" right into their minds! I'd really love to see a game take this idea much further. However I got stuck after I explored and talked to everyone, maybe I missed something or there's an obscure puzzle, but the hints weren't helpful at all. I think a game with this concept would have been better suited by a focus on interacting with interesting characters rather than puzzles.

Hey everyone if you liked the concept, I found another game with the same thought reading concept...except more plot based. I think this should have been more plot based but the plot was quite rushed in the end (there basically is none >.>). Anyway try out this submission

This was a lot of fun :D I love anime :3, i couldn't go far because i didnt know what to do. Excelent work :D, i love the art, the music, the game concept and the story.

There's a good idea in there, but...The whole thing is kind of unclear. I didn't really know what was going on or what motivated it all. The text needs some editing, I think, and there should be more of a chance for the story develop. Am I a barrel girl? What is a barrel girl? I solved the one puzzle, which was kind of interesting once I figured it out, although I had to squint at all the tiny Japanese food icons and make a guess...I have a digit code, but what do I do with it? Oh well. I wandered around, but the speed is slow and the world is so large that it got tedious. I feel like there's potential here, but...

Brilliant art part!
