I love how relaxing this game is- it’s such a welcome change of pace from the others I’ve played so far. It’s really refreshing not to have something super fast-paced, high-energy, and overwhelming. I also love the art style; it feels very polished. Overall, really well done!
I am a huge fan of narrative in games, and the writing here is absolutely incredible. There may not be audio, but I SWEAR I can hear Koma. I can perfectly picture exactly how his delivery would sound if this were an anime of some kind and I would watch the shit out of it. Of every game in the jam, this is the only one that has made me feel something in my soul instead of in the funniness or explosion-loving part of my brain. You should be very proud of yourself! Bravo!
Thank you so much! I worried i was trying to be too serious for a lil game jam honestly, and i worked forever on trying to make the title music and game music, i would have loved to added little blerbs for the voices but i was running out of time XD I also have an inner idea of what Koma sounds like lol
at first i was like haha spirit therapy, funny dog eats pudding and dumplings…then i was like oh ;-; with such a short amount of time the story manages to be delivered in a somber but satisfying way great game and i cant wait to see what the future holds for it!
Also i wanted to do some fanart of a bunch of the girl characters from different games :p I really liked your character design, would it be cool if i added her? The idea is ill draw the head and then put the name of the game next to it!
heck yeah thank you! I'd love to see your fanart 🩷🩷🩷
But thank you so much for your review i honestly feel really inspiree to make this a full lil game now ^-^

Take a peak! Hope you like it :) feel free to share it!
If you do make a full game i cant wait to play it!!
gah i showed off your art to a punch of people love the style!!! ^-^
thank you! im just glad you like it!!
Love the visual art style! It’s nice to peer into your life and what you’ve seen in a thrift store… just it is so sad…
A cool idea, that would be neat to see more of! Keep it up!
Lovely art and a sweet story. I am a sucker for anything thrift store related
Cool interpretation of the theme for sure! I kinda wish there was a bit more emphasis on who was speaking between the two characters (or if things were being narrated), but I think the art style was very cute and charming! :D
Creative definition of the slick theme. I loved the art and vibe of the game. Also I admire that this is inspired by something personal, which makes the game more interesting to play.
These characters are so cute! I enjoyed the dialogue/visual novel game style; it makes it stand out from a lot of the other games and was kind of a soothing break from racing and sliding and fighting. Nice work!
Thank you~ I was worried it was to chill since everyone else is pretty actiony - but I def have some ideas for a more horror themed visual novel down the road too o-o
the art is very cute! i enjoy it a lot. also, inspired by the things you find daily? you gotta get outta that job if there's spirits roaming about like that.
haha thank you <3 and yes we find all kinds of cute / sad little notes in notebooks all the time, estate sale boxes with pictures, urns.... its a doozy some times but thats why i wanted to include a thrift store ^-^
Lovely art
Thank you ^-^ I'm so slow at enviroments so i kinda skipped those XD
The art is awesome! I like the corgi's eyes when something happens. Also a very cool unique concept.
Thank you~ I'ts so nice to get feed back this is my first time posting any kind of little game at all and it makes me wanna go back and fix this one up and maybe make some more parts down the road ^-^
