I loved this game!! Very cool art, music and game concept!! Congratulations team for the work
Excellent in every respec. I'll call it "my own life simulator".
Really nicely done, interactions were really interesting and there were so many of them.
Very nice and smart game. Had a couple of notes if you would be working on it some more - Writing code - if you move away from the computer AWSD gets printed on screen while walking around - Noticed that eating chocolate and drinking coffee is the best way to stay awake. When that runs out just going to the fridge did the trick. Not sure if anything else kept me awake. Tried to excercise but I was always too tired. Might explore some more how to keep myself awake
All in all realy enjoyed the game. Great work!
This was fantastic. I finished my game in 4h, 39 minutes, I think. Of course, I lost several members of my team to heart attacks first. Great job!
I liked the music, and the fact that you can change it from the computer. Two of the mini games were a bit buggy for me, in the pixel art one it didn't count as finished even though I did all of it and I had to click on it again to reset it and it worked the 5th time, not sure what caused it. The find the pair mini game also bugged for me, I was finished with it and then clicked on the check mark button because it didn't count as completed and it reset it and I couldn't click on the cards anymore even through restarts. Other than that it was pretty good, good job!
This game is full of fun! I liked it, thank you guys! It's quite so real and so unreal!
This is sooo polished. Fun minigames, great visual, great sound design. Impressive work.
Always call mom when you are doing a game jam :laughing:
This took me way too long to finish (irl) XD in game time of 3h30, so not bad. I had a hard time understanding the logic behind the objects that makes you more sleepy or awake, some are pretty obvious, others are random. Once you know which is which, it becomes pretty easy, everything you need is in the bathroom, you don't really need to go anywhere else. The minigames were fun. The controls are a bit janky, like the very low mouse sensibility. But overall it's well polished.
@bottled-up-dark-peace thank you for the feedback! The sensitivity of the mouse can be increased in the game actually. If you press ESC you can open the pause menu.
Very nice ! The amount of work put in this is astonishing :o the minigames are good and put us in the shoes of the game dev quite well ^^ But I found it really frustrating sometimes, with a lot of traps everywhere and having to start again from the beginning everytime is not really fun... I had a lot of trouble with the drawing minigame too, I don't know if it is because my visual memory is bad or something like that.
Good job to the team, it's a solid entry :)
Nailed it! Very impressed by the amount of minigames and detail around the apartment, can see this was a big team effort and its super dope that it came together so well! I didn't notice a single bug (except the ones i had to squish myself ;)).
Visuals/sound design/gameplay, all stellar. Great job y'all <3

Thanks everyone for your feedbacks ! It helps us a lot and warm our hearts :two_hearts:
For all of you reporting bugs, we will try to fix them for our future players. But some of them are not obvious to find. Some of them were already reproduced prior to publish the game but we haven't got time to work on it yet :grimacing:
Normally the pixel-art sample loops to help the player, without being to easy to finish too fast.
Also, we wanted to implement many interactable objects to let the player discover by himself what can be used without always being obvious, maybe this wasn't a very good idea for a Jam ? (Who wants to die 10 seconds before winning by looking too much time at a cute doggo painting ? -me obviously-)
Do it for doggo 10/10
Your game was a blast! I wish coding and solving bugs was like this irl :sweat_smile:
This game pretty much sums up my experience with Ludum Dare jams and compos. Great polish and solid gameplay. Good luck with fixing the bugs for future players :)
3D assets are great,gameplay is intuitive and it is very fun to play. Great job!
Hah recursive game jamming, fun! Interesting subgames and main sleep mechanic - it wasn't always clear how sleepy / how close to heart attack I was. (also heart attack from eating too much - oof) I think I somehow broke the typing game - left it running and it had all my move commands, and then the word was stuck :) Neat 3D graphics and sound, wait can't finish this comment, but the edges of my screen are turning greyyyy
I got an error when I try to open your game - it looks like this微信截图_20220406233035.png
Godot 4!??!!! Cool! (And a little daring!)
This was really rather fun. I liked the various silly interactions with the items in the house, and the minigames were simple but diverse enough that they were never quite boring. The only thing that bothered me was that the fading-out effect when you get sleepy made it look like the room was filling with smoke!
Anyway, this was great, all around,
Thank you for your feedbacks and reports everyone. We are super glad that you enjoyed the game !
We will make a quick fix for the problematic issues. @foursay can I have your discord or a way to contact you please ?
@squimmy yeah we wanted to try Godot 4, a gamejam is a good moment to try things :smile:. Yes for the smoke we really wanted to use the new volumetric fog feature aha, that's fit well the sleeping state I think.
@deakcor try to reach me by DC at Foursay#8272 !
Thanks to @deakcor 's patience, I finally figured out how to open the latest and build, and I have to say this game feels so polished in every aspect.
I like how you connect every minigame with the state of falling asleep. The computer's UI feels so real to me because I have some sticky notes on the Desktop, and it looks alike lmao. Also nice music for the media player!
For the game flow and loop, It feels single-looped for now since there are limited items in this room that could help me not fall asleep. At the same time, they function in the same way to promote my "health" level. I would like to see more design in the possible attributes and metrics for "how to fall asleep," such as anxiety, stress, hunger, or something. That's just some random talk for future possibilities, and in terms of jam's scoop, I think this game is perfect.
By the way, I am a little surprised that this fantastic 3D game is made by Godot, which focuses on 2D agile workflow. Maybe I am just not catching up with the latest news for a long time, and it might be perfect timing for me to try some Godot ;)
Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestion @foursay ! Yes Godot 4 is more focused on 3D with the new Vulkan renderer but it's still in alpha so should be better to wait until at least for the beta if you are interested about the 3D. :thumbsup:
Cool game
Didn't understand everything at the start, because i hate read the instructions, but after a few, i did it and enjoyed it, good job guys !
