Nice experience! The dialogue felt natural to read, and it was cool getting to know these characters in a short amount of time. Got 1 ‘bad’ ending (I wanted to be mysterious on the balcony with Lex lol) and then got the good ending once I changed that answer. I really liked the art style of the pixelated backgrounds, I think it would've been cool to see it everywhere, like in the car or on the balcony as well, because sometimes those unmatched areas were a little distracting. The blue party background looked really awesome and moody. Also loved that you could save and load. I see on the itch page that you're thinking of adding sounds and I think that could be really cool and immersive. Like ‘party’ music on the inside and once you go outside it gets muffled on something.
Thank you! Really glad you liked the dialogue, I was hoping it would seem natural. Definitely agree about the pixel art needing to be consistent. Still working on my skills in that department and ran out of time sadly. Definitely want to add the muffled music on the outside, spent a bit of time looking for sound effects and music recently so hoping to work on that soon after the jam. Thank you for playing!
I liked it a lot, nice story and art.
This was an intimate little story! Very classy. I liked it a lot.
The art style is nice and helps set the mood. I think you did well developing the characters in a short play time.
Well done and sweet little game :) The pixel background art is really evocative and adds a lot to the atmosphere - reminds me of Dreamfeel's Curtain
