It's really stylish and beautiful and sad. But I feel the story was a little bit confusing because it starts with the guy taking a basebal bat just in case but doesn't explain why, what's wrong and stuff. And later suddenly monsters attack. I guess the monsters represent his sadness or something? It's a solid game, it just needs a bit more time to make the story a bit more clear and then it's perfect :)

Thank you so much for trying our game out and for the praises. Our team is really glad you liked it despite the shortcomings. Your interpretation is very spot on regarding the monsters, we unfortunately did not have enough time to polish the game and were forced to cut a lot of content that would have made it more clear. We intend to release a more complete version with improvements, bug fixes and additional content after the jam ends.
Game is buggy and the stealth section is meh, but otherwise this game is absolutely amazing. It would be a disservice to not see this game in the video, this game deserves to be among the winner.
Love the art, there is a bug if you crouch when pushing the box, it will fall off to infinity. But I like it a lot, nice entry! It would be nice if you could play and rate mine. Thank you!
That was so fun to play, a really nice experience! :D You got me with the cat purr. Really love the narrative!
I wanted to finish the game but you lose too much progress when you die to have to start over.
The artwork, idea, story, and mechanics are all excellent.
Looks great. I unfortunately got softlocked as soon as I left the house (stuck in place in front of the bench).
Other than that, everything went smoothly - great job!
This game had a good story, the pixel art was great, and the sound design was great as well! I did get stuck in the wall a few times but besides that not a lot of glitches.

Best game so far... Amazing work on artwork, audio, polish etc. Congratulation!
There is a glitch when you first crouch, I could go below the floor and got stuck.
