How does the game fit the theme?
The greenhouse starts out cozy and heartwarming, but in a David Lynch–ish fashion, grows progressively stranger and darker as the game unfolds. Is the greenhouse even real?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was prepared for the game jam, except for music & sfx that we borrowed from a previous game.
How many people worked on the game?2

I Really enjoyed this one! The characters are so well written ngl but lets not talk about the visuals HAHAH they are n top and the gameplay was fun all the way through. 😄
Thank you! :)
Muito bom!
i luv it!!, might be the prettiest game ive seen so far!!! :D
Hooray! Thank you :)
Very pleasant and distinctive artstyle and a story, love the game, although I would like there to be fewer substitutions and more variety in the mechanics.
Thank you. Hear you on the variations, but what exactly do you mean by substitutions? Since we got so much feedback, we are now working on a slightly bigger and more polished version with 2 new puzzles with different mechanics. Hopefully, also a full game later this year.
Reminds me of like gardenscape and other games like that. I would love to see this as a full game!
Perhaps you would like to try out my game :D
So many games, so little time 🙈 I still have so many I want to try. I'll stop by yours now!
This is probably the single most beautiful 'game jam' entry I have ever played. incredible polish all around.
Wow, thank you! Ana has all the credit for the art. I really love it too.
Lovely artstyle <3 and interesting story so far! (I haven't finished it yet, but I am planning to try it again when I have the time after the jam) I heard you're gonna make a full release eventually? If that's the case I wish you good luck!
When I do have the chance to finish this game I will comment in your game page :D Thanks for making this!
Thank you! With all the positive feedback, we want to finish a polished and slightly bigger version of this game now (the version this could be with no time limit, I guess), but we're also working on a full game that we can hopefully release later this year :) If so, this will be sort of a prequel, I think.
That's excitingg, I'll look forward to that, good luck! :D
Thanks! 😊
This is excellently done! I am lost for words. The art is already stunning with that beautiful hand-drawn graphic. The quality of the artwork extends throughout the whole game, and there's even a bonus screen too! The story is amazing as well. I've been expecting it to have a darker turn midway through the game, and I was still stunned by the final puzzle. I loved how you incorporated the puzzles as a form of storytelling as well, it makes everything made so much sense and ultimately extremely enjoyable. Well done! Btw, the game reminds me of A Little to the Left a lot with that flower puzzle. Loved that game a lot!

Thank you, thank you! I'm so glad you liked how it all came together. I think it's what we are most happy with as well, that all the parts came together like we hoped to make a "bigger whole" :)
I like your suggestions too. We will fix hitboxes for a finished/polished version in not too long.
Really awesome art style and sad but very nice story! Also loved all the plants 😊.
thanks so much! we are really happy you enjoyed the game:)
Love the artstyle! The game was quite relaxing and felt really polished over all. Nicely done!
thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game:)
very beautiful visuals,
thank you:)
Full game.
hopefully some time this year we'll publish it:)
Beautifully melancholy game! The watercolor art style fits really well with the story and adds to the emotions of the atmosphere. I really enjoyed sorting the flowers/leaves. I would sit all day and play a game that was sorting different items of nature. Also, yes, of course, I would love a full game.
thank you so much for such lovely feedback!:) I'm really pleased to hear that!:)
it's still a long way, but hopefully some time this year we will release the full game:) at the moment we are thinking of publishing extended version of the jam game soon after the jam is over:)
This was beautiful in every sense of the word. Glad to see you guys are looking to release this as a full game! Wishing you all great success :))
thank you so much:) It's still long way, but hopefully some time this year we will release it:)
I love the art style sm !
thank you:)
Full game? YES.
Yes please!!
Ah thanks! We are planning to release it sometime this year:)
nice! I would buy that :)
I really enjoyed it, it made me a little bit sad though.
Yes. Kinda "good sad" I hope :) It makes us a bit sad too, and the bigger story I'm working on for the full game is a lot sadder, lol. Sorry! 🙈
Beautiful game. Glad to see you are making games again.
Thank you:) Yes, it was very long break from game dev - but now I'm very determined to finally make a full game:)
Omg I love this, my heart hurts a little 😭
Aww, that's a beutiful description. Sorry, uhm, and you're welcome, and thank you! :D
Great game, absolutely nailed the theme!
thank you so much!:) I'm happy you enjoyed the game:)
