How does your game fit the theme?
It fits with the narrative of "Just get Started" as the protagonist needs to start moving on from his past. If he does it or not depends on the ending you get in the game.

Dude, what an incredible game! I'm saving to play it until the end another day, but I played until the first dialogue with Monika and it's so emotional, I liked the puzzles and I'm very engaged with the story, congrats!
Thank you! The game will also be patched in a couple of days so you may also play the upgraded version :>
Nice, I'll play it. Can you send me the link when the update is out?
Of course!
Heartbeat puzzle was fun but hard, I like the point and click nature of the game very nice. Also nice art I like the style a lot!
Thank you so much :D
Really really beautiful story, but definitely had similar issues with bugs -- especially with the heartbeat puzzle, had to retry a few times and even beyond that, was a super subtle difference to try and differentiate between. That aside, the music was beautiful, the interaction experience felt very smooth and the writing was amazing. Great work!
Thank you!
It is nice to see a new dev tackle the challenge that is making a point and click game as one of their early projects cause so much goes on to those.I like the writing in this, manages to be impactful and emotional . the Ui can be a bit cumbersome and unclear, if you revisit making this game I'd suggest looking into NinePatchRects (I think the gamemaker equivalent is a GM 9Patch) to make the text box a bit more clean looking, also as suggested below giving an outline to the arrows would make them more clear and, even if just a couple sprites on the side, add a visual component to the items the player is holding so we know when we get/use something. I also got a couple moments where the text box would double and i could see the previous text behind the transparency. I'm looking forward to try the fixed version but even the "broken" one here shows a lot of potential... cannot stress how well the story is written. and I think that is all... Good job!
Thank you so much for playing! Making a point and click was actually harder than I anticipated since I needed to make everything not collide with other stuff (though some stuff slipped through in the release), I actually tried using 9patch but Gamemaker wouldn't change the textbox for some reason?
The arrow outlines are being made and I'll probably add an inventory system since you don't even know what you grabbed from the drawers-
The textbox doubling is the issue I mentioned before, some specific things can be clicked during dialogues that I didn't know could, so that happens sometimes.
Thank you though! I hope you get to see the completed version with the content I had imagined for it!
Where do I start? This game really touched me. It has a very good story and concept, and I really liked it.
There are a couple of bugs, which is understandable given the time constraints, but when it crashed, it was such an anticlimax! Oh, and I really didn't want to throw the ring in the trash. I clicked on the button, but it chose the option that was selected, not the one I clicked on. That said, I really enjoyed the game. Good work!
Sorryyy! I found out about the crash in the first day and I was absolutely crushed- at least it's not in the browser version.
I'll add a confirmation dialogue for throwing the ring, and I also added being able to choose options with your mouse!
Thank you! Hope you get to play the completed game since it's story will be fully fleshed out! :>
Hey, no worries. I’m looking forward to playing the finished game!
Soooooooooooooooo good. really amazing story, truly heartfelt.
i did accidentally throw the ring away a few times... and in the 60 second room, for some reason it wouldnt let me put down the locker combo paper (the three digit one) and it messed up my first run.
but truly truly great game
amazing writing
it hit me right in the feel! fanstastic
Thank you! I found out throwing the ring was way too common, so I'll add a confirmation :,>
About the last room, it was kinda buggy so I'll fix that too!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked my writing, hope you get to play the completed version :>
Very very good game. Had a few issues with the puzzles due to unclear stuff such as X (green circle) making me think something times thhe green number instead the amount of green numbers. The music and sound design was great, though the sound effects on the paper was a BIT loud. Story was amazing, Great work!!
Don't worry, those are already fixed for the update! Hope you get to play the completed game once it releases :D
Thanks for playing!
KASANE TETO 🔥🔥
This game had a good story to tell, already plus points for Kasane Teto appearance hah, jokes aside I'd suggest changing the font, because it did kind of hurt my eyes a little and it was hard to read, first puzzle was quite confusing but I still got it at the end. Overall very clever puzzles which I think is the best part, as a fellow newbie, congratulation on finishing your first game! 🎉
Thank you so much! I'll hopefully have fixed most complaints in the full version :,>
Very buggy but very good game. I liked the story, but I had to restart a few times because of the heart monitor.
Sorry about that! It's a pesky little bug that slipped under the radar, I'll have it fixed by the update.
Thanks for playing!
Fun: nice story, the puzzles were great as well, great job
Presentation: love the art style, the sound design is good as well, did you draw yourself, or did you use assets?
creativity: very good idea, moving from the part, fits the theme well, very good
I drew everything myself, thanks for playing!
That's amazing, really love the artwork, you have great potential. I mostly use assets, with some made in Photoshop 😅 I'd love for you to try my game, I'm sure you're gonna love it😁
Great stoy and good puzzles! Good job
Thanks!
cool puzzle game, just a bit too hard (idk what empty means) (also cus its downloadable it got less plays, just saying)
Thanks!
