it was a cool game nice work

I understand what story this was trying to tell, but I just feel like it dragged between new texts appearing. Also, I don't know if it was just me, but there was no music or ambience, which it might've been intentional, but I think there could've been more sound. Also, have no clue if my game bugged out at the end, where they asked if I could reach the window, and I tried clicking it, but it remained locked. I waited to see if something would happen and eventually, and I could do all the other actions like sleep, use the bucket, and drink water. eventually I started hitting keys on my keyboard, where eventually my game restarted.

This is an interesting approach to an interesting theme, but I feel like it takes a bit too long to get new dialogue considering there's not a whole lot to do, maybe that's the point but it gets annoying after a bit at least for me.

I liked the atmosphere in this. The bright, clean art style makes the horror feel extra unsettling. Dialogue and inner monologue sell the slow mental spiral really well. Counting mechanic and “every second of sanity” idea are simple but effective.

The vibe and theme were really interesting in this one, the story was also very well done. Great job on this!

Really cool concept and story will  try to finish after the jam is done!

Very cool atmosphere, even if its not my type of game! The audio was very cool and well done!

Submitted

Interesting concept! I like the contrast between the theme and the brighter colors used for the artwork.

Just a note on the UI audio, sometimes it was too soft that I wasn't sure if what I was clicking was giving me feedback.

Good job, and congrats on completing the jam!

I think this has potential, the dialogue and the artwork are pretty decent and the style is great. And I believe the gameplay can be improved with time.

Counting was pretty fun, I liked all of the options that were availible, Good Job!

Hello, thanks for the feedback. Can I ask how long you played for? 

Submitted

I would say I played for around the first 15-20 "sleep"s, not long after "did you miss me" (I think that was the dialogue line) I found that after that, sleeping around 4 or 5 more times resulted in nothing really happening so I assumed that's where it ended, If the game went on for longer I'd be happy to start again at a later time to finish it!

FYI the games end after about 50 minutes. So if you're interested in the story there's still a bit to go but gameplay wise you've kind of seen everything 

Submitted

I'll get to the end of the story tomorrow then! Just a little busy atm. I'll report back when I finish it :)

Submitted

I finished the story off earlier today, so, I just wanted to report back to say I thought it was really interesting! And I'd like to see more from you in another jam at some point, have a good day!
