How did you apply the theme?
The residents of the Candy timeline have tried their best to move on from Sburb. While they may pretend the game is over, Hal isn't convinced. Sburb encompasses every game construct, including the players. Despite their attempts to move on, they were born into the game and will never leave. This is game about how the reintroduction of an old friend disrupts their carefully maintained "normal" routines. They must decide whether to draw a line between Sburb and their new lives, or integrate Hal into life on Earth C.

Really dig the artstile and story on this VN, this was pretty good!
THANKS!! :DD
Aaagh ive beocme australian!!!! lkdshflkshlkfshdhssgdh Holy shit this is massive! I managed to get everyone hates you and rose bad end lmaoo, i will def come back to this, so many different endings, incredible job for such a short time!
THNAK YOU!!!! that joke was partially "oh god its day 3 of the jam and we have been using australian spelling this whole time", im so glad you appreciated our silly meta comment lol. crazy that you already played two endings <33, rose bad ending is prolly my personal fav. literally so grateful that youre playing this, have a lovely day :DD
This is a solid VN especially for a 3 day game jam my goodness!!
thank youu!!!!! yeah i pretty much trapped eleanor in a hotel lobby and made her write for 3 days straight. the amount she can get done when provided with adequate hot chocolate and laptop chargers scares me a little. thanks for playing :DD
i loved the writting!! and also dave's fit is so swaggy in this vn like he got that shit on i rly liked iiiit
YES AGREE WITH THE DAVE FIT!!!!!!! you can defo see which character was eleanor's fav haha. if candy dave must live in (mostly) misery the least we can do is give him a radical suit jacket. thank u a lot and have a wonderful day!! :DD
very interesting idea and so well done! every character feels right and it's so fun to see Hal interact with the candy world, the stakes really feel weighty in the strife conversations and everything ties together organically, just overall a great experience and story.
only got the good ending so far but definitely going to explore more! the achievements also seem very fun to try and find.
thank u omg!!!!!! im so glad the storyline made sense & was worthwhile!!! despite no playtesting/proofreading eleanor seems to have this magical ability to make fight options and their impacts like... logically coherent? also omg congrats for getting the good ending that took me forever!! (sorry the endcard was broken lol). thanks sososo much for playing and for your lovely comment, this is like the highest compliment on all points :D <33
The art and writing on this is incredible! Soo in character all around. Didn't quite mess around enough to get all the endings/achievements but awesome job.
thank you thank you!!! to be honest we never tested which endings / achievements are possible so that is likely a wise call lol, thank you for playing through all the way to whichever ending you did reach! thx a lot for trying out our game, I hope you have a lovely day :DD
AMAZING. 10/10, no notes. Everyone is written very in character (at least, insofar as was the intention by the writers lol). The art is also very pretty. No I am not biased because I get to play as Hal, why are you asking.
ahhhhh thank you!!!!! eleanor's writing and art is incredible, defo worth her lost sleep. i'm so glad someone else appreciates being our beloved pair of generally nonfunctional sunglasses. thank you so much for playing and for your kind comment <3333
