I finally managed to solve the maze puzzle! It's definitely a bit on the "moon logic" side, but it felt good.
Pretty cool demo. Haru seems to go hungry really fast, dunno if that's going to be an issue for later. Got to the cat maze and got killed by the hungry Haru.
Cool stuff, really glad to see that you're still working on it!
Why is this game 250 MB? Zip up the download, but still, my 3D game’s first DD was that size. The plane wreckage looks nice. This reminds of some other game where there’s a witch in the woods. I can’t remember the name, but I swear I’ve seen this before. The controls were easy to figure out, but there was some friction. Maybe just tell me what the interact button is, don’t make me go in my inventory. Not a huge deal though. Strauss being able to cross water is not very lore accurate.
After thoughts:
For what it is, it looks like a fine fan-game. I collected a bunch of items, explore, was neat.
I got filtered at first by the flower puzzle. I think I focused too much on the flowers in the center for the room you get teleported back to. First I tried going through the rooms in the order of flower, top to bottom, but that didn’t work. Then I thought it was a map, but I didn’t see how the rooms were connected together. Then I started giong through each of them and noting which one took me to a new screen. Why is Resident Evil guy here? I was able to get through the maze by trial and erroring my way through, kinda annoying to do for 12 rooms. Think the combination was:
Pbr wbw bpp rpb rwb pbp rbp wp. I played a bit after that, got passed the lumber jack's shed.
What I liked:
I was kinda expecting combat, and I was expecting it to suck, I like that that didn’t happen. I liked that I had to keep the vtuber fed. I found the holy water, I like that I was rewarded for noticing that. Looks like there might be a neat game here. Didn’t encounter any bugs either.
Something that didn’t work as I expected:
I wish spacebar let me skip through dialogue faster. I died in the flower-bed maze and didn’t want to sit through all the dialogue before it again. Haru was in conversation with Brice by the river after getting back to his shed, even though she wasn’t with me. I couldn’t tell how to get Haru back to normal after she Morbed. I couldn’t read what the button were at the bottom. C for cookie, but it was actually B to feed Haru. I don’t know if the other option with the cross was a B or an E. After I closed the game, I couldn’t pick up where I left.

I entered the game in DD60, so maybe there!
>flower puzzle
I've taken this one back to the drawing board a few times, but after this feedback and others, I think it's just too long! I'll trim this down, thank you.
>Didn’t encounter any bugs either.
The whole roll of duct tape I applied worked, sweet.
>Something that didn’t work as I expected
This is all highly valuable feedback, I'll look into it. Thank you!!

WARNING: This is primarily a VTuber fangame. Expect DANGEROUS levels of cringe. Proceed at your own caution. You have been warned.
My second fan game using Vtuber Haru Mizuki as the theming and character basis. Expect nonsensical in-jokes.
You play as an "awoomfie" - "awoo" + "oomfie" - a lovable mound of fur that's accompanying Haru to the baking convention. On the plane ride home, things go down - quickly.
Solve puzzles, meet characters written by amateur writers, and explore the strange realm of "Strauss."
While mostly complete, it's still a work in progress. I've tried to stamp out as many bugs and crashes and out of bounds wandering as I can, but you'll no doubt run into issues regardless, my apologies. Thank you for checking it out!

Thank you! I watched the whole stream, and am taking everything into account. It makes me really happy that you liked it!
