Loved the voice acting!! + Would've liked it to be longer however with all these emotions I wasn't sure if I could handle it no more, not sure how getting rid of Arlo makes for an opportunity,  but overall great visuals I love your style!!

Developer

I really appreciate the kind words! The idea I was trying to get across was that Jude, knowing his brothers crimes, couldn't move on with his life until he knew he would no longer be able to hurt more people so he tries to get rid of him for a second chance at a guilt-free life, but I do wish I would've made that a bit more prominant to the plot. I'm glad you still enjoyed the game though! The game that follows this one is in the making with a demo coming soon! The trailer is on my tiktok if you're interested! @splatterrat

Wow that was intense! That was very good voice acting by the way whoa! Although the themes were so heavy, I couldn't help but keep playing. It was very intriguing. Good job!!

Thank you so much! This was a first for all of my voice actors and actresses so I'm really glad to hear people enjoyed! If you're interested in the game this was a prequel to,  the trailer is on my tiktok! @splatterrat

BRRROOOOOOOOO!!!! I love this! I don't understand how this isn't more popular??

The art style - epic!

The sound effects and music- on point!

The voice acting - amazing!

This definitely gives Mouthwashing vibes especially the scenes where we feed Curly his meds, I would love to see more of this!

If you have the time I would love to hear your opinion about my game too! Rate Dying for a Raise by D'Arque for Jamsepticeye - itch.io

THIS WAS SO GOOOOOD. HOLY COWWWW. the twists kept catching me off guard!!! i love the style and the tone and the sounds. the opening scene when you first meet arlo somewhat reminds me of the game mouthwashing!! i saw that youre a dev with a full time job, so if you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of or need an extra hand with the creatives just to have a second set of eyes you can totally reach out!! im excited to see what else you make!!!

Developer

Thank you so much! That means so much to me! Mouthwashing is definitely in my top 10 favorite games of all time so 😅 And i really appreciate the offer, I will keep you in mind as I've been in the process of making the next game. The trailer is up on my youtube and tiktok if you're interested! @splatterrat

youve gotta be kidding me. this is an absolute banger. THE WRITING??? WHOA. The way it cut between scenes. Im so mesmerized. If you need any creative help for the full game such as UI or other, feel free to reach out anytime. I know a gem when i see it.

Developer

Wow, thank you so much!! I will definitely keep you in mind because I tend to lean more towards the creative aspects than the code stuff lol. Your kind words mean the world!

I love the art and sound design! Also love your splash screen, when I saw it I knew I was in for a treat haha

Very cool! I’m intrigued by the story, but wasn’t too sure how the theme fit in. Either way was a fun experience.

Oh forgot to mention the visuals and sfx were very good and stood out to me!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback! The point I was trying to get across was that you the player (Jude) are trying to get rid of Arlo to have a normal guilt free life knowing his crimes (his death being the opportunity for a second chance), but looking back at it I do agree I could've focused on that a little more to make it more clear. I'm glad to here you enjoyed it otherwise though! If you're interested, a demo for the game this was a prequel to is in the works and i have a trailer on my tiktok. @splatterrat Thanks again!

Submitted

I knew I was too dense to get it lol. Thanks for the explanation! This was a really cool prequel.

Developer

No no its not you i promise lol!! 

Submitted

i really enjoyed the story and the voice acting/sound design! although minimal, it got me really immersed in the story and the visuals were really cool (also insane how you made this in python) good luck on the sequel!

Developer

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback! Im an artist before anything else so i tried to lean hard into it so i wasnt totally out of my depths for such a short amount of developement time lol
