I like the music and the pixel art style. Loved the little easter eggs referencing other games.

The music was great. First game so far I feel deserves a good humor score tbh, nice work of narrative.

A lot of references and deep humor behind many trash in a Tobi's room. And music that somehow remind me Nothing else matters by metallica, but just a little. Yeah this game is nice)

Really good entry, I loved all of the references and all of the item descriptions were really well written. Music was very fitting and atmospheric. Good job!

Oh wow, that a little gem. One of the best games so far I've played on this Game Jam. I love everything - mood, graphic, humor and music :)

This was great! Cleaning up the room and discovering so many different objects was very satisfying and I got pretty invested in the story. Made me a bit emotional to be honest. :sweat_smile:

The "clean up the trash" segments were a little tedious for me and there were a few typos but nothing to get me out of it.

Awesome work!

Outstanding entry. The music paired with some of the texts (the letter) hit quite hard.

Very strong on mood this one!

joey-vrij 2025-04-08 12:25

Great work! I loved the original take on the theme and the story elements. Awesome entry!

The mood in this journey was incredible. I really liked all of those little eastereggs in the descriptions. A fun little piece of art

Cool graphics! Too bad my English is really poor, so I didn’t quite understand what the game wants from me. :(

glurgludor 2025-04-08 22:23

The atmosphere is fantastic, I really like the idea of the background gradually revealing itself as you clear out the clutter. I would have liked more interaction with the objects, as it felt like I was mostly just clicking without thinking too much; having little puzzles to solve would have drawn me deeper into the setting. In any case, congratulations on the work accomplished—there are so many objects, it's incredible!

Interesting interpretation of the theme. I really love all the different ideas people come up with. I was hooked to find out more about what's going on and struggling with similar feelings as the ingame son, I understood quite well what was happening. The game itself could have had maybe abit more mechanics, like combining different items or smth. That could have been interesting, but nontheless it was a nice play ^^

tori 2025-04-08 23:25

This is a fun and nice entry, i love your take on the theme , visual are cool and i loved all the ref (well, those i caught at least haha) very well done!

dot-ex 2025-04-09 09:37

Nice game. I liked the graphics. I didn't think I'd ever clean up trash XD

mysteriousjuice 2025-04-09 11:11

@glurgludor @jona-scheidig thanks for your nice comments :) and you guys are right, we actually joked that there is not enough gaming in our game xD. We would have liked to include some minigames or riddles but there was just not enough time (tbh, we spent most of our time on art, so i guess we could have prioritized a little bit different)

greenradiation 2025-04-09 12:04

Very nice game, full of nice references. Finally, I can give the "humor" column a high rating :) Great job!

garyglhf 2025-04-09 14:33

Great, very beautiful and interesting, cool mechanics.

holiwhirl 2025-04-09 14:40

This was so emotional ;___; the descriptions were written so well and it was such a unique way to tell a really moving story. Also love your take on the theme, really inspiring <3

butterflan 2025-04-09 18:50

I really like this way to storytelling. It's original, with some culture pop reference. Really nice !

dandee 2025-04-10 07:11

It just keeps going ahhhhhhhhh! Cool take on a narrative gameplay experience, loved the aesthetics, well done!

nicknickolas 2025-04-10 07:14

I liked the way the story was told, it's an original idea and plays off the jam theme well.

antonin-granados 2025-04-10 13:06

Very nice art and with the music/sounds it becomes very relaxing. The stories are very well written.

mod-wiz 2025-04-10 18:16

I like this take on a theme and the execution is very well done! Very nice art style and music.

joror 2025-04-23 22:30

A story told by digging through trash and memories! Nice lil concept - I was expecting a big twist but also happy there wasn't one. Nice job! :star:

irwatts 2025-04-24 02:45

This was excellent! It felt very personal and authentic. Great presentation on the graphics and audio side, and fun writing as well. I also appreciated how you displayed the credits! Nice work

jk5000 2025-04-24 06:43

A interesting and pretty well made little game.

molpe 2025-05-05 11:00

Very cool, nice idea for a game, would love to know more :slight_smile: Did not get all the references, but still had a lot of fun :slight_smile:
