great art style, cute character! was a little afraid of a jump scare moment haha
Thanks for playing our game, reidkgames!
Hee-ho. Very beautiful game. Very nice. Thanks for good experience
Thank you for playing our game, Hee-Hoo!
Really great spritework. The sound for the game is well implemented as well with the local clock sound, the ambience, coverage on most everything. The one thing I think could've used a good sound is hugging Michael.
Other comments probably have already addressed wanting there to be more to do in the gameplay. Another thing that would've been cool is to make your sanity come into play via seeing things/telephone ringing/hearing noises in that back room that wasn't really used. Overall nice idea for the game.
Thank you for playing our game, RileyCircles!
That's a really good idea, Thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful art and animations!
I didn't quite understand what to do other than hug the toy and press 'E' like a mad man near every object in the hope that something will happen.
Thanks for playing our game, TOLINSKI!
Yeah, it doesn't have anything much to do right now. We hope to update the game later tho.
Loved the art and feeling of the game, being both cute and creepy.
It just need more stuff to do. Maybe the phone rings at night and you find more pills in the ground, or a book falls and with it some matches.
Overall a great concept and game!
Thanks for playing our game and feedback, LucasFSouza!
Might be a bit late but we will be sure to make an update!
Just barely managed to survive the night. I LOVE the ambience and the art of this game. Ella especially looks amazing, the animation of her hugging her teddy is perfect! I think maybe having an indicator on objects would help players know that they can interact with them, but it ultimately depends on how you feel the game should be played. Good job on your game!
Thanks for playing our game and the feedback, lolkira24!
The graphics are amazing. Art and character are so cute! I'm looking forward to publishing game
Thanks for playing our game!
We hope to update it too but it's uncertain when.
I'd appreciate it if you could play my game and leave a review! Thanks!
I already played and rated your game. I don't give the review sometimes because of Anxiety. But since you asked I will give one now.
Oh I didn't know that... I'm glad. Thank you so much!
Don't worry about it. It just strikes me randomly sometimes.
haha!
I really loved the art and spritework in the game, kudos to the artist! I managed to make it to the end with about 50% sanity left, Michael has never been hugged faster in his little bunny life. If you updated this game with things to do around the house, especially if light made it easier, it would really elevate the game. Good job to the team!
Thanks for playing our game and the feedback, Kylomain!
Beautiful game! I started over again a few times to make it to midnight. I really had to pace myself. Overall, I really liked the artwork and atmosphere! Well done!
Thanks for playing our game, Toonpolar!
Glad you like it!
Glad you like it, Skykone.
Originally, there was something to get her worse and more area but we lack of time to implement and test it properly.
For the items, I just randomly throw it so if you spam the button E you might get something.
Thanks for playing our game!
Really nice pixel art.
thanks for playing our game!
Keep up the good work!
Will sure do!
Thanks for playing our game, AzeemDesigner!
Your character is so cute! I love the art and sound design you have going. We also tried a whole sanity-type system. I think some kind of maybe quick time events could help gameplay along. And your art makes me want to read into the story and learn about Ella and Michael's personalities! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing our game and feedback!
The art was made by Ronly 👾 (@SSRonlypls). / X
I am the only one who manages things here since they don't know much in English. She comes here and reads the comments sometimes tho.
Had quite the immersive experience, I really expected something to jump out HAHA I totally relate to the anxiety Ella T-T
Thank you for playing our game!
It originally had something jump but lack of time to implement and test it. Maybe if the game gets priority to-do on our lists later it might have more than a jump. just maybe.
Astounding graphic & gameplay. I already tried. Now it's ur turn to Try & rate us. Thank u
Thanks for playing our game!
I rate every game that is in the comments but due to my lack of time it might be a bit slow I will make sure to rate your game and every game here!
Great little addition to the jam. The story was good, but definetly needed more to it!
10/10 would hug Michael again
Thanks for playing our game and love Michael!
Very well paced game with fantastic in-game systems. Excellent art and a good use of lighting to convey mindset and atmosphere. It shows that there was very clear intention and thought behind the direction.
I definitely enjoyed my playthrough, but probably mismanaged my resources due to not knowing how exactly the in-game systems actually played off of one another. I also wish that there was something to denote what is interactable from what isn't, but can appreciate if keeping the interactable spaces hidden was an intentional design choice as well.
Thank you for the feedback, Kamoopy!
The interactable spaces are half intentional, they originally had fewer items than this and were more difficult to obtain but I lacked time to implement and test them properly so I cut them off and replaced them with this one.
Also, Thanks for playing our game!
Really like the look and the art. The idea of hugging Michael to improve your state of mind too was also a nice touch. Cool to see another game using the sanity idea like we did!
Thanks for playing our game, ZTrane!
The sound and visuals are good, you're already halfway there! Just a few additional gameplay elements, and you're all set.
Thanks for playing our game, WakerGames!
Unfortunately, we still have not discussed yet if we are going to update this project.
Still, seeing many comments about it makes me want to improve the gameplay part.
