Really nice atmosphere, environment. Characters are super cute and sound design adds a LOT. For a 3 day jam the level to which this town feels alive is incredible. The only small issue I had was running this on Linux, thats why I rank it so late.

really like the camera work here, nice little details like specific sounds for steps and the deep snow effect.
The ending was kinda sad, but in a good way
I really like its atmosphere! It was very cozy and the character is really cute.
Nice entry with a very soft and cozy atmosphere ! ✨💖🌈
We especially liked the different side quests and whished for more haha
Good job !
game has a great feeling and cozy vibes, but it could have a bit more story and better gameplay, currently it's a bit bland. I love how the cars just stop statically to not hit you. I thought the game froze or mama died for a second
Overall, I think this entry deserves full marks for its cozy winter atmosphere. Beyond the aesthetic, I was especially impressed by the level’s flow and environmental pathing. The use of leading lines particularly with the fence, snow mounds, and footprints all of these elements subtly guide the player in a way that feels both intentional and especially natural which is something I can appreciate. Nothing feels artificially placed purely for gameplay convenience and that immersion goes a long way in strengthening the overall experience. It's difficult to describe but the scene being almost entirely viewable from one frame is reminiscent Akira Kurosawa's cinematography techniques and from this angle the movement and backdrop of the cars makes it feel lively. Good work
Very charming experience! I really liked the hidden activities, made me play the second time to search if I missed anything. Music and sound design are very well-fitted to the experience, and art style is very cozy. Good job!
Art is very cute, I really enjoyed the ice jumping side quest (best part of winter is breaking ice), and the art really nailed the theme!
the Level design and art is super! I'd add a few more objectives though. Overall really enjoyable and cozy!
So cozy and cute. it was also cool seeing the different endings.
And making an unreal game that's a reasonable download size is awesome!
Dance dance dance, dance with grandpa! Super cute, really like it! Coziest game ever!

The atmosphere for this game is spot on for the theme. Cozy vibes all around and the menu background video is wonderfully immplemented. Cars, buildings and the ambient are truly fenomenal and the gameplay feel is very relaxing. Also really like how you added that cars stop for you when crossing the street. Awesome work!
This is the second game I've seen made with Unreal Engine in Jam mode, and it's fantastic; the optimization is great, especially the houses in the background and the cars driving by. It creates a wonderful atmosphere and makes you feel like the city is alive. It's really well done. I'd appreciate it if you took a look at our game too :3
A very cool 3D environment, it feels really alive and genuine. A couple more tiny quests, a better camera angle, and a spellchecker would be improvements!
I liked the detail on the different mechanics, interactions, jump and slowed down movement was all there.
There are elements to build an interesting narrative-driven puzzle game
Loved dancing with grandpa!
