Never thought I would see a cozy horror game.  Watering all the plants took ages, but the twist at the end was worth it!

Developer

Thank you for watering all the flowers, the boss is very pleased with your work🔥

К сожалению, самый большой страх оправдался: как только поливаешь цветы во второй раз, ничего кроме конца игры не происходит :( Несмотря на это, очень большой плюс - это завершенность, здорово, что удалось придумать такую идею, чтобы успеть ее реализовать и вроде даже без багов.

Стилистика низкополигональных хорроров хорошо выдержана. Единственное, что стоило бы немного пофиксить из визуала - это масштабы текстур на доме, а то персонажи раза в полтора больше, чем двери, но вот зато ОКНА прямо гигантские :)

К слову, хоррор в принципе не сильно ожидаешь увидеть на уютном джеме, но вроде попасть в тематику удалось настолько, насколько вообще хоррор может быть уютным.

Музыка очень подходит, хорошо сделана версия с расстроенным пианино во втором акте.

Developer

Спасибо за отзыв! Не знаю почему, но у меня сильно засела идея сделать свой первый хоррор, поэтому ничего другого я придумать не смог) У меня было ещё несколько идей как сделать хоррор интереснее, но эти планы были слишком грандиозные и я бы тупо не успел выложиться в срок. Спасибо что уделили время и поиграли в мою игру)

Очень понимаем нехватку времени, мы как раз попали в ловушку слишком грандиозных планов 😅 Наша художница солидарна с желанием сделать хоррор, сама бы тоже хотела нарисовать что-то пострашнее, чем уютные и милые иллюстрации :) Удачи в будущих проектах!

Spring? Check Shifting reality? Check Cozy? Errrrrrrr

I did enjoy the design, though, and the music shift was a nice touch

Developer

My plan was to make a cute horror game that would then turn from cute to scary. I only just realized that I misunderstood the theme 'shifting reality.' Because of an incorrect translation, I thought it was when a person perceives a dream as reality lol. Thank you for the honest feedback and for playing my game)

I like the gameplay and pixelated aesthethic

The cinematic transition was also a good one :O

The horror gave me “Chill Horror” vibes, I find these theme to be hard to implement because you can’t make sense of it because of it’s abstractness, but I like the creativity!

I’d prefer the watering to by tapping and you can run out of water, then you’re able to get some water from well, if that’s the intended design

Developer

Thank you for playing the game!
Yes, the well was supposed to be a gameplay part of the game, but then I decided that it would not be interesting, and there was too little time left anyway.

I've been really wanting to try this game ever since I saw your message sharing it on the Discord server. Until now, I haven't seen anyone else make a horror game, which, in my opinion, is a big plus. However, perhaps the number of flowers to water is a bit much and just makes the gameplay longer than necessary. That said, I absolutely loved the presentation and aesthetics; it gave me a Puppet Combo vibe. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing the game! There have already been a few comments regarding the number of flowers, but still, thank you for the feedback.

I liked the pixelated render look of the game; as a horror fan myself, it was cozy at the start and then turned horror, and it caught me off guard! I love the music shift as well. A few notes I have: maybe make it so we refill the can so it's not repetitive and reduce the number of flowers. Also, I completed the game, but there's no ending! Despite that, keep working on the game; I'd love to see it get updated! Solid game!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game!

Spoiler: at the moment, when you fall down and it takes you to the main screen, you completely finish it. I wanted to add that after falling, you wake up in the real world and that it was all a dream, but I didn't have time to finish it due to time constraints :( Anyway, thank you for your feedback!

I just thought the game was cute with a cool song, and then the devil jumped out at me

Heheh, thank you for playing the game😈

An interesting take on the shifting realities concept. If I could offer some feedback, maybe reducing the amount of flowers to water might help with the pacing of the game. Regardless, good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game and for the feedback. Yes, perhaps I added too many flowers😅

I liked it, truly terrifying! I struggled to find the water can at first and maybe there were too many flowers, it got repetitive after a bit. Besides that good game, congrats on your submission!

Game didnt really advance after watering the plants. Still a great concept for a game!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! After you water the plants, you need to approach the bench, I didn't have time to make hints for the player:(

I like this game! There is nothing bad to say about this game.
