WOAH! You should totally finish this at some point, that was really cool!
I really liked the silly characterization of death and the way you made their expressions. Really gave death a lot of character and was pretty silly, which I always appreciate. Plus the writing was a lot of fun in general! I really liked the music too, it fit really well and I was lowkey jamming out to it.
If you're open for some criticism if you want to work on the game again, I would really only say that you probably shouldn't have the player speak without having some sort of button for it (even if there's only one), otherwise it doesn't really feel like the player's voice. Also, there were a little too many points of silence.
BUT, I still really liked what you have even if it's short. (Also how did you get my name???? That was maybe the freakiest part for me)
The name was a silly little thing I can do called "breaking the fourth wall" :> seriously though thank you !! im glad you enjoyed it !!
Yeah i have to admit it was very cute.
I know the game isn't completely finished, but the effort is there, it's polished enough, from the sprites to the main menu.
It's missing a bit of sound atmosphere, especially the famous little beeps during dialogue, which always add character.
I'm keeping this game in my collection, and if it ever gets a full release, I'll play it !
I like the idea and the visuals of the game :) Hand drawn style is probably my favorite out of any style and the small animations after interactions made the game much more alive in my opinion. I would say, the animation is the strongest point.
I think the sfx/music are well fitting too! Some more sfx would be cool to see at any interaction or ambience like button clicking, candle fire etc..
My other complaints would be about content and polish stuff like more story, more images, game design but I see you overscoped a little which I strongly understand, since I suffer from the same thing. Mechanic over mechanic until I have too much mess at the end to polish within the left time frame.
I also loved this scene after saying “I would rather die”
absolutely fire
I also used godot for my game but it might have been easier for you to use something like Ren’py engine for such a game, it would have saved some time (If you started from scratch in Godot of course)
Overall I enjoyed this small game and I am sure you will do even better next time! Very cool to see what other devs do c:
Thank you!! I mainly just used Godot bc its the main engine i use and also customisation.. im glad you enjoyed!!
Dating death was not on my 2025 bingo card but HELL YEA! Cute character interactions, loved the little animations and art too! Would love to see a full blown game with possible different routes and endings <3
Tysm!!!! I REALLY wanted to make the full game but i got distracted with schoolwork and projects owned by other people... Might finish it at some point :3 I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
