Really cute! Loved the art, music, world, writing, and characters. I couldn't progress after having tea, so I'm not sure if I missed something or if that's all there was in the game so far. Either way, great job!

Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
We interpreted the theme in 2 ways
The two hands almost touching reminds us of reaching out and helping. The player goes around the area helping their friends and giving them a bit of light, and even a touch towards the end to show that its ok to reach out even if things might seem a bit scary at times.
the color of the image we felt was lighthearted, and peaceful so we used this to guide how we should write the story and even design the visual aesthetics

That's so cute and warm!Art,story.I can't help smiling when I play the game(っ˘ ˘ς) .
I like the change of music when I open some new map.All the sounds and silence are just right for the emotion at that time.The one who buried itself is very cool hahahaha

《Inside Outside：内外》It is so cute! The art, the 3D, everything blends together perfectly！The effect on the 3D edges is also really clever! It feels like the perfect game to cozy up with at home on Christmas with a cup of hot cocoa!

SomeoneFarawayThanks SHANGTI! And wow that's a compliment!
Personally the shader that I wrote for the revealing effect was the thing I am most proud of, originally it had a pretty basic falloff but it just diddnt feel right, I'm glad I stuck with a dither instead! Using a light source just simply wouldn't look the same also!
I'm glad you had such a great time, Thank you <3
This was one of the cutest games I’ve played.it was really good! The quests, artwork, sound effects, and overall ambience fit perfectly, and that twist deep inside the forest was amazing. As for suggestions, I actually had to play the game twice, and in my second run I realized that pressing E was required to continue the dialogue in the deep forest. Since there’s no NPC there, my mind didn’t go near pressing E ,any button might feel smoother in that situation. Other than that, it’s simply an amazing game!

From Soil To SunThe hand-reaching imagery really works well for the theme - love how the visual metaphor of almost touching connects to the gameplay of helping friends. The lighthearted color palette creates a peaceful mood.

Out Of The DesertI will have you know my most important documents stay in Downloads. Honestly my favorite interaction was just seeing what random dialog glitchy had to say. How many quips did you give that guy?? Haha
Overall vibes were on point, art direction and music all fit great together in this cozy adventure to help others while also blending with the season. Well done all!
Loved it great concept and aesthetics, big fan of the guy wanting to have tea with me in the cold for 4 hours!! Only remark I have is maybe the footsteps become annoying after so much navigating. Especially since you keep people moving back and forth. And could have more mechanics! But the vibe is great, nice work. Feel free to check ours:)

LuminbearHey Amedeo!
Thanks for playing our game, and Thanks for the feedback!
I do agree with you on both of these things - we started quite late with the jam (we were not certain if we wanted to join initially) so we were behind 5 or so days to start with, and them almost immediately after that I was struck with a cold so I was out for a handful more days. I wanted to have more lil guys about with fun dialogue and different mechanics but it came to the point where I had to focus on getting something presentable at least!
Ill check your game out after I burn through my queue haha!
