Thanks for making such a wonderful game! Something about it changed my perspective on Visual Novel Games and kind of got me out of a mental rut, LOVED IT <3

Oh that's so nice of you to say, thank you! We had a lot of fun making it and put a lot of love into this project : )

Thanks for playing!

I really loved the mood in your game, the feeling of witnessing apocalyptic events from your own corner of the world was captured super nicely 🫧🔥❤️

The decorating feature was so well executed + I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the news🙂‍↕️📻

There's Blood in my Soup

Oof, this one hit close to home. Short and sweet. Definitely got a little teary-eyed at Dylan's story... never having a cupcake again :,(

Loved the art and the music and the voice acting and the story, it was all spot-on! Thanks for making this cool little game :)

Aww, thanks! Yeah, to be honest, in writing an unhinged labubu furby comedy I did for sure end up writing the most personal game I've ever made. I'm grateful it's resonating with folks! Definitely reread the script like "Oh wow, I got kinda personal there!" But it just felt right, ya know?

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing! 🧁

HOLY CATS!!! This is one of the best Spooktober entries I've played to date, and everything about it is incredibly well-conceived and executed, both! Love the concept, love the artwork, love the script--and kept my partner up because I was just. full on witch-cackling every other line. Genuinely hope this game gets the recognition and accolades it is deserving of, because this truly is a game made for these times, this moment, and the chance to laugh out loud in joy. I love it, and so will you. ✨

What a cute little game that in no way reminds me of the current situation in the world I live in! Oh to have a little guy to help me out with surveys.

Oh I LOVED this!!! The story/writing is SO fun and funny and at times moving, like please where is my PlushiePet? It's all just really well done and polished, creative and again very very fun, really nice job!!

Interesting little game with a lot of creative ideas. The story is intruiging at first, but I kind of feel like the game drags on for a bit too long. Aside from that, everyting else was really well done.

Keep up the good work!

So many funny moments! Loved the daily questionnaires, the newscaster, and the mental imagery of dogs unionizing :)

Really polished game, very well done

I enjoyed the story, it was engaging from start to finish. I also think it was a great choice keeping VA strictly for news. Music played well with the playful tone of the game.

Great job!

I love this game, it's so sweet! The news reports are so funny and the ability to decorate your room is so cool!

I wish my plushies in real life could be geiger counters. I need to raise my standards.

Amazing work!!

Thank you so much for playing! I LOVED the news personally, and we worked so hard on the interior design part! We're hoping to add more unlocks in the future!

LOL I also wish PlushiePet was real . . . but maybe not 100% game accurate 😅
