How does your game fit the theme?
You've got yourself 5 days before a special event. The game has a planner that, during the countdown to the special event, you use to plan your daily events until that day.

damn i really didnt expect any of it when i first played, i did yea played some VN before but this one really felt alot personal than i think would did, the narrative is great and i only got the 2/5 ending, and if it is supposed to be you there, i really hope you are doing okay OP, great game dude
This does feels like a personal anecdote, oddly uncomfortable reality of a depressed person, in which case I do hope you are fine OP. In any case, good art, good sound, I was just taken aback by how raw the narrative was.
great job either way, fitting all assets and doing it yourself in 4 days:)
Thank you so much for playing the game! This is arguably not the kind of work that should be done in 4 days, and I think that it made whatever written feel more close to what I feel. I am glad that you enjoyed the resulting narrative, and that it had affected you in such a way.
Again, thank you, and I look forward to encountering you in future game jams!
A beautiful game.
I was able to get the first four endings but I cant seem to find the fifth.
Oh no, that seems to be a mistake on my part haha. The Bittersweet ending is supposed to be the 5/5, but I think during testing and stuff I missed that one (it was wrongly written as 2/5, but it DOES exist as a separate ending!)
Thank you so much for playing!
I'm not a visual novel guy, but this has something I really like that is uncommon in jams: it feels very personal. Between the drawings, the photos (I love mixed media like this), and what I assume is you playing the guitar it feels like it's entirely personal. And of course the narrative.
Again, I don't know much about visual novels but I really like how it's written. It feels both mundane, depressing and happy at the same time, which is a good thing. I hope you can make more stuff like this in the future.
As a note, I got the ending 2/5 and 3/5, so not very good lol.
(and if the narrative is also that personal, I hope you are doing ok OP)
Thank you so much for playing! I’m really glad for the feedback, and I’m really happy that you enjoyed how it is. Really looking forward to doing stuff like this in the future, hope I see you again in another jam!
Good narrative story! Nice Job!
Thank you for playing! I’m glad that you are happy with the narrative.
