This game was absolutely amazing! I was hooked just from the illustration/art style and then once I began to play the mystery and intrigue really hooked me! I appreciate what you've been able to accomplish in such a short time. You created a wonderful, atmospheric, moody, dark little game and I adore it!
Loved it! Cool atmosphere, stylish and spooky, liked the ending a lot!
@roshelle @zombiewalrus thank you!
A fantastic game that combines an intriguing storyline with eerie atmosphere and stylish graphics. The developers' talent and creativity are evident in the game's ability to draw and keep players engaged, resulting in well-deserved perfect ratings across the board. Congratulations to @st00nsa and @katya-pavlenko on a job well done! 🦦🚀🖖
cute point and click! Great atmosphere. I love the De-Liver idea, I had it too late and I was too compromised with a normal delivery package :(.
@aschab thank you! We stole De-Liver idea (we asked first :smile:) from @tapot, his team left this idea unused. They did a cozy funny game with another pun https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/micromanager.
this art is pretty beautiful and sad. The music creates an imersive atmosphere where i can almost feel the boy's feelings, but after i pick up the flowers and talk to the father, i couldn't figure out what to do next. Amazing game UIs by the way.
The sound, the art, the gameplay, everything is very well tuned to the atmosphere and works really great together!
Beautiful hand drawn art, great atmospheric music, intriguing narrative. I really enjoyed this experience!
The backgrounds are immaculate. There's so much detail, and they're all steeped in character. I found it particularly nice that the things you had to click on blended in so well, giving me the chance to enjoy them for that much longer. The music really helps the ominous contemplative vibe you're going for.
The loop back to the beginning is slick. Some of the dialogue really cuts to the chase, and I think I would have liked a bit more exposition about a few things. Who was the ghost? Why was the boy sent away? What is the special event, and why is the boy's liver being eaten?
Overall, really great work. I hope to one day make backgrounds and settings like this.
What a great looking game! Really love the art direction on this! This is a great entry. Keep it up
Creepy! Art and music are great and work well together. Good job!
this is amazing!! i loved the art and the story, great job!!
Very creepy! The game worked well but some of the text was hard to understand. I liked that not everything was explained so you have to make some inferences. However, I don't understand why my character blacked out/went back in time at the end, when I thought I'd be able to escape.
Ah, I love mystery themes like this. The music really helps set up the eerie vibe. The art is great too, I like how every room plays with lighting differently.
The ending is indeed slick as somebody else mentioned. I would love to see a multi-loop version of this, with the player looking to break out of the continuum.
Great job with this entry!
It's a good game, but it lacks sound.
@alisher-fazilov hi! We invested a lot into sound, did you notice "unmute" button in the top right corner?
This is my favorite game so far, I loved it! I went through the loop 3 times hoping and trying to see if the order of events can be changed, resulting in a different end/finding out more details regarding the story. Wonderful job 11/10
Could have used more sound effects, but the music overall was nice. I liked the scene transitions and the way the game "ends". I had no idea you could host a game on github.io, that was pretty neat!
@papabirb yeah. that's a cool feature – github pages, it's even deployed automatically using github actions on each push!
Art is incredible, super eerie and love the simplicity of just sliding around the house. Definitely disturbing atmosphere. Really nailed it, good luck!
Great atmosphere. A short and sweet point and click mystery. lovely art and music as well
A great looking and spooky point'n'click adventure.
Sorry @mihrea =) There is no other ending, he is doomed. Thank you for playing.
Amazing mood, graphics and sound, I like the circular ending. Yeah just a great game, though the theme is a bit tacked on. Over all great job.
Really impressive work !! I was stun by the quality. Especially artstyle that is totally awesome, the mood is incredible ! I was worried for the boy the all time ahah (btw, the ghost is adorable). Congrats !
Very immersive game, everything really draws you in! I still had a few unanswered questions at the end, but what you've accomplished here is amazing
Enjoyed this small mystery c: Did a great job setting a creepy and uneasy atmosphere.
Interesting game. But confused by the story though
So creepy and moody. The art is so ridiculously good!!! :heart_eyes:
nice to see a point and click game!! the audio was especially amazing and moody, loved the background art too
The art and background music work great to create the atmosphere. For the story I would have liked slightly more lore/clearer dialogue because I was left confused in parts, but I still really enjoyed it!
i love the mood and artstyle
Music and artwork in this game are fantastic. Interesting story-line as well. I would have preferred a more human-like ghost, but that's just me. Overall, a solid entry. Nice work.
