Very sketchy curator, loved the concept, congratulations

I like the idea and having to balance between getting income and fame while things may break make it quite interesting to play!

love laid back games like this, very nicely done!

Super cozy! The screen could be a bit bigger, but I had a nice time with it :)

Good presentation overall. A little slow to get going though.

Very fun and cozy idea. Really cool take on management sim. The values need some tweaking but we all know there is no much time to test that on jams. I got crazy numbers very fast!

Solid game, not a fan of story heavy games but this one nails the Stardew Valley feel. Good job!

I really liked this game; it has an interesting concept and beautiful graphics. It would be great to see more missions, levels, and rooms if it ever gets released as a full-fledged project. By the way, it reminds me of a phone game about collecting a paleomuseum collection.

Fun concept, would be fun to play as a full game!

I have to say, the difficulty is just right for the game to be addictive.

i didnt fully understand why suddenly I'd get some negative bonuses, probably i should have better looked after my exhibitions.

Interesting idea!

Cool game! My collection was a complete failure though, I guess I don't have what it takes to make people happy. I skipped buying the vending machines at first, thinking that I might build up some reputation beforehand, but the visitors weren't impressed, they might have been hangry. ^^ I might come back some time and try again, I'd have loved to grow my collection some more. Speaking of which: I really like that you actually made a game where you interact with your collection. Many games are about collecting something, but seeing the collection improves the experience dramatically. :)

I'm confused...it looks cool but I'm having trouble understanding and playing... why do you sometimes have to use the mouse and sometimes the keyboard keys?

bloodbane 2025-10-15 13:51

The idea of this game is good but I rather use keyboard solely instead of partial mouse control like this. Also, I wish the courier would put the packages far from doorway cause if I open them while I'm near exit, I could get stuck and might accidentally touch the exit. That being said, I get how to play this game and I can see how the collection works. Add option to skip dialogues and exit button to exit dialogue would make the game better.

Nice little management game! I love the pixel art and the item descriptions add a lot of charm! By the end of the game my exhibit was a complete mess because I bought too many sphinxes (but still managed to win). The UI was a bit annoying to navigate with the mouse, but otherwise I quite enjoyed it!

I really liked this one! The pixel art is nice. They cancelled my collection at first try ;_;. I really enjoyed playing!
