This was definitely a fascinating and captivating game. The art style and the music work together incredibly well. The oddness and stillness and isolation are an excellent combination. I was fascinated and tried playing it 3 times. I do agree with one of the other commenters here, the note was hard to read. It was a lot of type, I think using a geometric sans serif font may have been a better option or just increasing the leading since the lines of words are realllly close together. That is only because the entire game I am feeling pressured to move quickly and to get the tasks done, so stopping to read the note feels like it's slowing me down too much from the tasks I need to do, if that makes sense. I stopped playing after my 3rd loss because I received my 2nd note, and then got a game over screen. The game over's felt arbitrary to me, if you could add a little note at the end that says "Game Over" and underneath says "You forgot to eat" or "You forgot to sleep" or something that let me know why I lost, that would have helped. For doing this in 48 hours tho, this is incredibly impressive! I am fascinated by the style, the weird gameplay, trying to accomplish slow tasks quickly, and trying to survive. It strikes a fascinating balance and it feels isolated without feeling eerie. Excellent work!

Wow, you nailed the feeling of "isolation" on an emotional level. I mean, what a life this guy's living! The constant dread of something falling out of balance was palpable, and yet all that effort was just to maintain a pretty sorry state of affairs. It made me think about my own life in ways I don't want to admit. I've never seen manually pulling water through a plant's veins as a game mechanic before, but it somehow felt very bleak, as did having to pluck thorns just to get something to eat. Loved the storybook illustration-like visuals and the moody music, all working together to set the tone. I think maybe the letters could've had less text and more frequency to parcel out the story over time, but it was an interesting idea to include a sort of diary. Also, this is a small nitpick, but I think your logotype for the game title doesn't really match the mood of the game itself (maybe it was meant ironically?). Overall, a unique take on the theme!

Peak Game, but i couldnt read letters (, visual of this game is incredible, i love design of flowers

I like the vibes this game give. The arts also looks good.Thing that impressed me the most is music.It's ... I don't know how to describe it but it's good.One thing is texts on letters are too small I almost couldn't read it( or is there a way to scale it up that I don't know.You can tell me ^-^)

this was a experience my brain created its story on its own when seeing the game this is a cool entry.

Well done, i liked the style and story of the game. Great work!
