There's a lot to love about this!  There's a really cool idea here that I could see being expanded on.  I love the art style and the way Petri kept sort of popping around the house.  My favorite detail was the little bit of confetti left behind on the objects after you interact with them.  Clearly still in a demo state, but there's a lot to be proud of here.  The vibes are immaculate.  Great work!

Developer

Thank you! I thought the confetti would be funny xD. Def a demo state for sure. Thanks for taking a look at it!

Great job on the game! I enjoyed it, and the mechanics were really good!

Great stuff datchcole!

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate you saying so :^D

I really liked fixing minigame. Cool visuals and atmosphere!

Developer

Thank you! :^D

Submitted

Loved it, felt creepy, even tho i was expecting it to be even more creepy! Nice “minigame” and story, deserves more attention!

Very, very interesting idea. Had the feeling of being a horror game at start but the final part of "fixing lose screws" was brilliant. I actually got kinda nervous of seeing a jumpscare at the end lol. This actually sparked some ideas in me. 

Developer

It was def supposed to be more of a horror game but I ran out of time lol. I do like the nervousness of expecting something so I'm gonna keep that in mind while working on it some more. Thank you for checking it out!

Submitted

I really like the atmosphere you were able to achieve with the sound and visuals of the game. There's so much potential here! I can also see an element of horror being added that would fit the style of the game. Well done!

Submitted

I liked the concept, great game. It would improve a lot if you could visual feed back, like the camera zooms in on screwdriver and shows more that the screwdriver is spinning. Overall I liked it

Developer

Oh! Zooming in is such a good idea! Gonna try to make that now it would help a lot. Ty for your feedback.

Submitted

Nice game, I like the concept. I could see this being a cozy satisfying narrative game with a bit more polish and content. I could also see the narrative going in an indie horror direction, which would fit the artstyle. There's a lot of potential here!

Submitted

This is a lot of fun! I tried playing it on my laptop which is very much not a gaming laptop, and regrettably couldn't get too far due to performance. I love the visual style and especially the music. Petri is captivating, I want to play more. When I get back to my house on the 8th, I might try to play through again :)

Developer

Oh no! I'll definitely look into what might be causing some issues. Some optimization is definitely in order. I appreciate you trying to get it running :)

Submitted

fun game! the stair bug got me the first time around lol

Developer(+1)

lolol. Thanks for trying it! So it goes that I delete a collider right before the final submission xD

Submitted

no worries, happens to the best! by the way, do you know the streamer caseoh? feels like a feature made for him lol

Submitted

Very epic work, music is right up my alley as well. Definitely want to see it developed more, has tons of cool potential for story building and maybe a horror aspect. Very impressive and creative, nice work! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks again for checking it out! I'm super exicted to have the time to turn this onto a full game :)

Submitted

I like it, i like the music and it feels like a cozy game, like Unpacking but repairing things, it would great this game but with more tools.
There's a bug in the wall by the stairs that made me fall out of the house, but I went around to the front and was able to get in through the main door.

Developer

Oh no I though I fixed it. But I see now whats wrong with it oops. Ty for telling me. And more tools is def a direction I wanna go in. Ty for looking at it :)

Submitted

I accidentally broke the game. I was walking up the stairs and somehow I clipped through the window and fell out. I couldn't get back in through any entrance, so I just wandered around the abyss. Besides that it was quite a nice game! For a proof of concept I found it interesting. I also didn't expect the table glitch to be that weird, but that's besides the point. The full game will definitely be something I'm interested in.

Developer

Thank you! I was just about to submit a new version and added some colliders to that area that hopefully help. Ty for telling me :). And I really appreciate it!
