This game is really interesting, I’m on a mac but I would play it if you ported it online

I enjoyed it but at first I thought there's nothing to do except do the task (while providing interactions with other objects to make the game "lively") then sleep and repeat then later I realized the notes are telling something. I managed to get to the glitch part but after a few moments the game crashed. Also there are times that the interaction button appears even if I am far away from it. It mostly happened on the dishes.
A note also on the UX: when I interact with E, I have to close with Esc. It's inconvenient. A better way would be just to press E again to close.
@marbles I think the crash is intentional, I got that too. I assume that was the true ending.
Simple little game but I enjoyed figuring out how to escape the loop. Nice ending too, very stark contrast to the joyful soundtrack.
Great job! I couldnt find the safe! But loved the in-world references on the notes and the game loop in general...
I really liked the art and music, the first scene was great. But then the gameplay became a little too repetitive and I couldn't figure out what to do with the notes and then the game crashed 😢
The game fits the theme of the game jam very well. The notes though were a trouble to read as my buttons and clicks didn't always register. Also one of the notes being behind the bed was particularly troubling to read because it didn't register my clicks, I just had to guess the first number for the safe. Other than those few bugs you got a fun little experience.
@marbles Yes, @fronwewq is correct, the crash after about 10 seconds of glitch is the intended ending.
The game was kind of fun, even if it was very limited. Even though I really liked the dishwashing mechanics :)
@jeremia Ah, I see. I got out of the loop!
I was not able to get to the end, but I still had fun trying the game. The visuals are pretty good, and I love the chosen music. The mini-games was simple and pretty fun. I am not sure I found all the notes to the safe, so I do not believe I had enough to guess the code. Overall is this a pretty good jam game.
So does this happens after Stardew Valley ? :o Jokes appart, this is a solid entry, character movement not so clunky, collision is ok. Notes system is good and adds a lot to the immersion. Spend a little time finding the safe but not too long :) good job !
Nice game. Reached the Glitch too. Had to try out a bit before I realised that there are notes :D I liked the twist.
@marbles thank you for your comment. At the beginning we had the idea to close it with "e", but there were some errors that could not be fixed. at the next jam we will improve that.
@victor-hallock thank you for playing our game, try it again and read carefully. you will get it
@kolocop thank you for playing our game. we tried to fix as many bugs as possible but unfortunately it wasn't possible due to the time.
@eweren thanks that you liked the dishwashing task, it was very time intensive to program but i think it was worth it. Props @jeremia
@jk5000 it's a shame you didn't find it. Tip: look at the bottom left of the bed ^^
@edomiyamoto Thanks for the feedback, and yes the character is based on Stardew Valley #StardewValley2
Very good concept well in the theme. I like the ambiance. It's like a small escape game. And I love the END, the fact that it crash the game. Best way to break the loop. Graphic is simple but efficient and the mechanic work well. I notice a small bug (I made the dishes, then you can do it again). I agree with Marbles that it would be better to push E again to close the interact, better than ESC. Even if more polish can be done, it's well finished. Bravo.
How can I get to that note. I tried to walk over there, but it's bloked by the bed.
Really cool way to work the theme in. I couldn't believe the results at the end.
@jk5000 You don't need to go to the note, you can just click on it with your mouse.
Interesting and kinda unsettling... I really was hoping for a more sinister twist than just a visual effect at the end though :D It still was fun doing the chores and then finding all those notes. The riddles were pretty easy though. The art was a ittle all over the place and could use some more coherent art direction.
Still, I kinda had my fun with it while it lasted.
Movement was very clunky. Otherwise good job
I think there was a bug because I could read none of the notes scattered on the ground (they were all blank when I clicked on them). The list of tasks was empty too. I suppose
I will just rate you on graphics :P. Which look nice by the way, the strong bright colors reminds me of those games on Windows 95.
I liked it, the puzzles didnt feel all that challenging as I ended up finding the notes and completing it on the second try. The game fits with the them and if there were more to do then I would definately play again.
@duke Thanks your for playing the game, unfortunately we didn't have enough time to do more, but next time we will try it. Dane
@eugenik thanks :)
@cydouzo we never had such errors during our tests, but i think that didnt happen often.
@rschoellgen we would have liked to have done more tasks, but unfortunately it didn't work out
Fun play on the theme! The art and music is really charming and the scavenger hunt of finding all the clues and opening the safe was a nice touch. Great ending too! Fantastic job!
Great and funny game! Your game have the same name as ours hehe and almost the same concept! But yours is way prettier. I just don't know if it was supposed to crash after I did certain stuff in the late stages. Art is very nice, audio and sfx as well, even if they were not made for the jam. Keep up!
Very interesting your game. The graphics are nice (they even resemble the graphics in my game, because of pixel art hahaha). I like the sound too. The controls are simple and functional, and that's a good point. I liked the experience in general. Mini-games like washing up are fun. I think I saw some interaction bugs with the items, but nothing too serious. Good job.
