Hey, this is really cool. Great presentation, story as was pretty hot. I did find the part where you had to time your button presses a little confusing to understand, especially since her head was blocking the progress bar so I couldn’t tell if I was doing it right.
I don't know what's up with the yellow text, but I'm digging this
So creative, awesome aesthetics. The music & animations are great. The comic book style of narrative in the 2nd act is very cool too. I loved this one.
man the cycling neon colors with the light only coming from the door make for a really cool aesthetic
i uhhh definitely thought "you are a pile of coats" was going to be more literal somehow, but this is oddly fascinating. it is so specific. feels like there is other stuff going on here that i don't get to know about, which gives it a good lingering quality
the mighty eevee played my game? So cool!
Yeah playing as an actual sentient pile of coats might be too leftfield even for me!
Fun fact: The terms pile of coats just came to me out of nowhere but after I finished I googled it and realised that I had subconsciously picked it up from an episode of Friends.
Not just a game but an art piece! The idea is weirdly specific, I wonder where the author got it... Probably happened to a certain pile of coats they know...
Oh man - I adore how everything about this game commits itself to the late night party aesthetic. The muffled music, the flashing visuals, the way that the art cuts in and out with the main character’s sleep/inability to see. It really is making the most of being a horny game in a horny game jam too - the hands free mode is a nice touch, especially the way it plays the rhythm game at the end for you.
(I do wish said rhythm game had a bit more feedback for a successfully hit animation that just the slider up the top going up - an extra smack of a drum? A visual sparkle? Something that doesn’t have me looking away from the time sensitive gameplay.)
The story works great in conjunction with the gameplay, and the comic at the end is a fun little touch!
thanks for your kind words. You are absolutely right about the feedback on the rhythm section, struggled to get that feeling right.
I am a well-behaved pile of coats.
This is SO fucking polished, what the hell
I love EVERYTHING about this. From the minimal background, showing how dazed and out of it we are, to how naturally the text progresses it, to the... um... innovative and thoughtful hands-free mode that more smut games should really implement, and how all the animations come back through gameplay at the end, but only if you want them to, and ahem
yes yes very good yes
First five-star aesthetic and harmony ratings. And high narrative too, just for the cute little twist at the end. Very, VERY good work.
also, the little detail of people peeking through the door at the end is great
seriously there's SO much production quality in this five-minute porn game wtf
I went from anxious (I kinda dislike big, noisy parties, so the beginning really hit home) to genuinely horny. That’s a 5-star in the horny category for me...
But seriously, ??? animations are really hot. It would be nice to have a gallery to, hm... admire them hm... freely (after completing the game of course).
Also, the comic at the end was really cute—both visually and story-wise.
amazing!!!! love how she lights up with the background
visuals + music combo is great, the kink is great, this is a really nice lil experience
Yep you hit my buttons. Liked the touch of the people watching from the door way.
thanks for playing and rating :)
I wish I could give more than five stars for aesthetic, good lord. Super cool presentation, the atmosphere from the visuals with all the sound design was amazing, and even though it was linear I never stopped being excited to see where it was going. Also I know it wasn't the main focus but the UX for the comic sections was so slick and satisfying!
thanks so much, you’re too kind.
we both made games with elements of beatmatching, I think you did a really good job so thanks for the inspiration to make that aspect better next time!
It's short but has kept me hooked the whole way through. The filter fits the wonderful animations and atmosphere very well. I like how much personality is created for the characters in such a short time and with limited dialogue. You have a talent for combining great visuals with a story to create truly cinematic narrative experiences!
Also, this is off-topic but I've been checking on Midnight Delivery for the past couple of years and you've got screenshots up for a new version that hasn't been released, is it something that's still in development?
oh wow thank you! Your feedback is so appreciated. I did spend a bit more time on shaders this time to create that effect and learned a lot.
As for Midnight Delivery, yes it is currently in active development. Was paused for a bit because of a roadblock but now I’m back on it. I appreciate your interest! I post occasionally about progress on my bluesky (link on my profile)
That's really good news! I am excited to see the Midnight Delivery update when you're ready to release it!
This is very well presented in every aspect, I’m impressed with the audiovisual work here!
It needs a content warning for nonconsent/dubious consent.
thanks! Yes I was a bit unsure what to call it in the content warning, but thanks for giving it a name, I will add that.
if you don’t mind answering a question: with which character is the consent a concern? Possibly both… I was wondering this myself. He’s been intruded on, she’s drunk… part of the reason I included the epilogue was to clarify that there are no regrets on either side. Would be good to get your take on it!
The viewpoint character hasn’t consented and is directly objecting. Although his partner is also too intoxicated to consent, he isn’t initiating anything. Her voluntary intoxication has impaired her judgment, but this doesn’t absolve her of what she voluntarily, independently initiates when drunk.
thanks, I really appreciate you laying it out so clearly
