I played until the end (i guess... it just turned black and it stayed that way)

the art is very good!! so are the sfx! both complement very well the atmosphere of the game.  the minigames are easy to pick up and satisfiyng to do!

i'd love to see more of a "energy" focus, like the last brush teeth, where the player can't complete a task. instead it just not showing up the next day, maybe it stops showing up after a player fails to finish, as each day they'd have less energy.

i agree that, specially for a jam, it should be a bit shorter - or at least major differences between the days from the start.

great job!!

The mini games were all very satisfying!

Neat game! The minigames worked very well, and the art was cool too! Definitely fit the theme well :)

Wasn't quite sure if there was more to it, but I did 3 loops!

Also, I think you're the guy who feeds my fish

Okay I can see that we really should have made the game shorter from this and other comments, as the some of the interesting stuff starts only happening after the fifth loop (there's still some small changes before that though) and at that point it's starting to get repetitive so yeah, but glad you enjoyed the game.

Thanks for clarifying that! I went back and played it again and everything after day 5 was very well done! The tonal shift and the decline of everything came through super well :)  The ending, at the mirror with the light, was also very atmospheric and done well, with the light repeating and all that.

I reckon you're right, the changes might need to happen a loop or two earlier, but the bones of this are solid! 

The only minigame that was a bit of a drag was the fish feeding one, as it took a bit more skill and you could fail a few time on it. but once that was gone, it got much easier to push through and see the whole game :)

Nice game! cool concept :)

Cool art style and interesting narrative but could've benefited from being shorter, doing the same tasks every day became very repetitive and boring.

Very interesting game, the artwork is amazing. It just kind of gets a bit boring doing the same 3 tasks over and over again, when someone was knocking on the door idk why I couldn't open it or do anything. But other than that it was very well done!

We definitely should've made it more obvious, the knock is supposed to be ignored (kinda "explained" at the end) but that should've been more clear
