Interesting game. I was incredibly intrigued by the story, and wanted to keep Maddie safe. But no matter what option I picked I couldn't find anything super weird about the school. Maddie not remembering the day was a suspicious, but I had many days like that as a kid. I'm not sure if I missed anything. But I really had a fun time playing. I hope you continue the game with some more story!
There’s nothing particularly strange about this school for now. But later on, as more suspicious things are discovered, some things might have already happened. Before the ending is revealed, it’s always hard to tell what’s really going on. That’s partly what I wanted to express. Thanks for playing this game! Also, thank you for trying to protect Maddie :)
The writing is great. I enjoyed changing the dialogue to find different ending (I got one which seem pretty sweet).
It's kind of a sad (?) or alarming story, so I don't know how much I would describe it as "cozy", but it does feel like a overall cute story. It would be especially relatable if you're a parent.
Sounds and music would make this game much better. I like the arts a lot, but I also don't really get some of the shaking at some dialogues that seem a bit unnecessary.
I like it that there's a fast forward option for normal narration text, but it's not there when it's a dialogue text.
Overall I think a good start to a visual novel. I would love to see it being developed more.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I wasn’t able to fully capture the cozy theme during the jam period. The cozy part might actually come after the sweet ending, which isn’t included in this demo. I originally made this game with a feeling of sadness in mind, so I think you really captured that well!
The conversations and story were written in a rush and were inspired by my daily chats with my daughter, so they feel a bit temporary. I plan to rewrite all the dialogue and adjust the shaking effects to better fit the story.
Since I made everything by myself. My goal for myself is to experimented with the shaking effects and the dialogue nodes. This demo is so rough to me. I kind of feel sorry that it gave players a sense of stress rather than coziness.
I liked it and was getting invested in what was going on until the demo ended, but I did read that you only managed to make 2 days so far. I think music and sound effects could really enhance the game. Nice job on the art btw. :)
Thanks for playing, even though I feel this demo is still rough! I planned to write more days and add sound effects, but I ran out of time in the end. But I'm happy that I experimented with typing and shaking effects. Thanks for your feedback! Welcome back to play after I update this demo in the future! ;)
This was quite stressful, my goodness ;-; I liked the very simple artwork.
Haha, sorry for the stress this game caused you! I tried to make it cozy, but I didn’t quite manage to pull it off. Thanks for playing!
Stressful in a good way! I appreciate you made something about being a parent - I think it's a very meaningful topic. Good work conveying the stress of a parent!
Aww, thanks for understanding!
i thought this game would end in some doki-doki creepy way, but it probably wasn't intended that way lmao
Game is honest in it's cuteness. Comfy art is doubling it. Nice demo.
Thanks for playing! I’ve thought about a really creepy ending, or maybe one of the possible endings being quite creepy. But I’d still prefer to keep everything from feeling too heavy. Depending on when the player leave, there will be different gains and losses. Thanks for your nice words ;)
Other than cozy, I was a little tense/worried from reading the story. I was concerned for the child. I can see how this presentation can be built into a full narrative and description novel type adventure. I noticed the calendar issue and wish you luck fixing that. Not seeing the day change was of course off-putting, especially since I wasn't sure where the story or my choices would end.
