I really enjoyed the art style and I think this is a great interpretation of theme + a very good game idea.
The only I didn't like is that the game played itself a bit for me, I was really trying to read into what they were saying to see if they fit the description but then I had the whole info written down for me in their file.
Well done on a really really good entry :D
Yo this is awesome! The art style is really cool and it feels like there's some deep lore we didn't get to explore. I would love to play a more developed version of this game! One note I have is it would be nice to be able to skip the rest of the time if you already asked all your questions. But overall a super polished and gorgeous gamefor the 5 days. A really cool take on the prompt!
Cute game! Love the concept! Love the critters! Would love to see it expanded!
Great art. I liked the story for what it was
I'm so in love with the art style!! Looks fantastic!
I would have liked it if there was a way to stop the timer early. If you were to add any updates in the future I'd love to come back and play again!
Well done!
I love this artstyle so much! Amazing work!
Even in the realm beyond i've gotta get a job with customer service god dangit...
But fr though, very creative game and beautiful art.
Bloody good work right here.
I really enjoyed the idea of having a job interview with souls from the afterlife! This game's artstyle is really cool aswell, it has the vibe it was going for. Couple things I must say is that the lack of tutorial in the game, it left me confused for a good while wondering what im supposed to do during the interview, it could just be me though, and considering the fact that you might not have enough time to implement smth like that. And also the lack of music during the interview, again probably ran out of time lol. But if that's the intension, it would add a lot by adding some ambience sounds. I do wish that the timer would be skipped if you ran out of questions aswell. There's also a visual bug if you click credits in the main menu first and then start the game. Overrall, if a little more time was put into this game, it'd be REALLY AWESOME! but as of now, it was still pretty good! The visual are stunning to say the least, characters have their own charm, and you can pet the dog! Cool game!
Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, if we had even 1 day more to work on the game so many things would have been better! Still, I am really happy you enjoyed the game, I will 100% take all these points as a learning opportunity for any other game I make!
Man the art is great and i like the characters, but its a shame that while the game feels polished, it feels unpolished as well. It feels weird that there's no music playing in the background, having to wait for the timer, and also bugs where the players face would show instead of the spirits (and no i dont mean "bug" as in the player, haha ^w^).
Perhaps it was hard to find music or make music, though. The gameplay was fine. My favorite character is Red, EASILY.
EDIT: oh and I love the white Dog Bug you can click on.
I wish I noticed these mistakes before I submitted it, but due to the deadline I could not fix it. Besides that, I am really happy you liked it!
I will take the feedback into the next game I work on :D
The art for this game is Gorgeous! i will say i do agree with one of the other comments that i was finishing the questioning and then having to wait until the timer ran out! but the game is great and I'd love to see more of it in the future!
Yes, in hindsight that would of been a better choice, but yeah due to time I just had to finish what we had. If we do continue this in the future, we will 100% change this! :D
Hi, I loved this game! I loved the art and the conversations I had with the characters. The game mechanics are really good, too! The only thing is that I found myself finishing the conversations well before the time ran out. Maybe when you finish all 4 questions, the timer speeds up?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, after the fact I knew things could have been set up differently to improve the game, but sadly due to time we had finish what we had. Definitely a learning opportunity I will take with me! :D
Wow. This art is on a whole other level
Art and visuals stole the show! Cool idea and very fun / cute aesthetic!
thank you very much for the kind words-- very happy to know our idea (and visuals) were a fun experience !
The visual are great and full of personality. and the concept is really fun and well executed! Clicking the bug on the table gave me so much joy, wuu!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
