Characters were REALLY EXPRESSIVE, and I did NOT expect this game to be so stressful to play. Surprisingly polished for a game made in 4 days and no bugs so far, well done!

oh also itch won't link my submission so here it is /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4829252

This is my favorite submission so far! I love how the music emerges from the siren sounds in the end. 5/5

Developer

Thank you so much!! I'm glad it hit the way I intended it to <33

I relate so much to the main character, so I connect with this game on an emotional level. lmao

Great music, a very comfy artstyle that contrasts extremely well with the escalating craziness of the gameplay, and I do not want to multitask ever again.

Also, thanks for the pan-seared salmon tips. I will have one in honor of this game.

5/5 Would play with the demon core again

In a sea of horse raising and alien communication, turning the thermostat comforts me

5/5

The Art and stress is amazing! the most sweatting countdown in this jam!

Submitted(+2)

WOW. super stressful, but had a lot of laughs when the crazier tasks started coming up. Loved how the siren morphed into the music :O

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!! The transition is probably the favorite thing I was able to do for this hehe

The most stressful The Witness visual novel about reactor meltdowns I've ever played! Really nice art and music

Submitted(+3)

One of the most intense experiences by far!!! Everything looked perfect for me :) Artwork was cute and stylish, nice music and SFX that fit to the atmosphere, some simple yet fun mechanisms, and the overall pace and mood! Great work

I have adhd and I found the cure

With what the team looks like, ADHD itself made the game

Absolute cinema!!!

very atmospheric game!

Submitted(+2)

I love the atmosphere created by the combination of the stress of the tasks, the sound design, and the art style. Everything fits together perfectly. 

I also enjoyed the storytelling and the sense of humor here. 

Congratulations!

cool hgame i like

In my opinion you should tell the player how many endings there are. But that says a lot about this game where my only criticism is not knowing how many ways to beat it there are.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!! Will definitely make it more clear in the future, I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

I was drawn in by the color palette and had a lot of fun! (Although she died multiple times). It would've been great if the reactor screen had the same palette as the rest of the game. The music was nice too!

Submitted(+2)

By the time you have to hold your horses, keep the light on and pry the demon core open at the same time, I was having a hard time, because I was laughing too much. The art is brilliant as well. Loved it!

Submitted(+2)

Very fun! Great artstyle and the pink-purple color palette is very easy on the eyes!

Also I noticed that there is a bug at the starting menu that lets you press the start button multiple times even during the transition, but that is barely an issue!

Btw the main character probably lost a decade from their life from this stress xD

Submitted(+2)

Amazing art and super stressful, but an absolute blast to play! This was absolutely amazing and I'm definitely coming back to this to play again

5/5 visuals, sounds and references, as Michael Fassbender would say "Perfection".

Sorry Miss Average Secretary, i have failed you...
