Fun little story!! Fits theme really well and I love all the unique characters! Art style feels perfect for this game. Really nicely done, one of the few I've happily given stars to for narrative!!

Fun game which fits the theme nicely. I particularly like the idea of having to reach for the wristwatch to get the timer, I think it replicates well the idea of checking the time when you're on a schedule, very in theme!
Really cool art style! I also really like the watch hand coming up to tell you your countdown, I thought that was cool and had personality.
Fun game you’ve got going. Was fun talking and trying to find the solution.
I’ve sent you some feedback on discord if you’d like to check it out :)
That was a fun puzzle. I liked the animation of the girl falling out of the closet. There weren't too many people or elements to be overwhelming but it still took work to figure out the optimal order to do things.
Critique-wise, there's not any juice or QoL stuff right now. This is a game jam, so understandable. But having a visual indicator that dialogue is done or still going would be great. The UI buttons and watch timer text feel out of place with the rest of the game's visuals. And I had to reload the game because I forgot what gifts I needed and there wasn't a checklist or reminder about them.
Neat concept and I liked the overall look and sound of the game. The narrative was pretty funny too. I just couldn't figure out how to beat it, because I got the necklace, scarf, and flowers but nothing happened when I interacted with her. Unless I needed to do anything with the hotdog person? But interacting with them always got me stuck in the corner until the game ended.
Really cute little game with lovely art! Definitely felt frantic figuring out what I needed to do and what order to speak to people in, very enjoyable! It would have been nice to have a countdown timer visible to know how long I have left and also being able to see what I've already collected would be helpful. Figured it out eventually though! Great work, congratulations!
I can't find the scarf? I grabbed several flowers and got the necklace. Does finding the girl in the closet unlock anything?
cool game, though i feel like i got everything i needed (flowers, scarf, necklace) but i still didnt succeed
Really fun. Although maybe a minute was a little bit too short. Took quite a few tries to figure out what to do.
Great job! I love all the dialogue! Would suggest adding some more SFX.
Cool take on the concept. Would have liked some hints etc., especially on repeated failures. But neat game!
I really liked this game, I had a similar idea and i'm so glad to see someone else make it!
