charming game! well done. the UI is kinda clunky though
This game was adorable! Short but very sweet. Great work!
Did not expect a clown jumpscare! this was very engaging :) and the writing was very good. Short fun game!
What, so you're saying you shouldn't give your wife lollipops in a clown suit?! This is an outrage!
i really enjoyed this game! i liked trying all the different routes and endings.
That shrimp buffet left her speechless!
Some people don't know how good they got it.
The popups over the scrolling text at the bottom was a little weird. I'm half way done reading something, then I'm reading something else, and not sure if the first thing I was reading is finished. I don't have a recommendation on improving it, but that's a place for UX improvement.
Solid entry.
Very unique use of the theme and very good storytelling, good job!
Narrative is soo good, i really enjoyed the "UNDERTALE" aspect of the game(i.e. your choices change the ending). Everything else was really good!
Really good story telling. I feel bad for Dan, and I was motivated to help him out. I got him 3 hearts and it felt good! Poor guy needs to get it together, lol. I also really enjoyed the calm soundtrack, it really fit the theme nicely.
Totally polished, nice, short and sweet storytelling! This is a really focused effort and that comes through in the writing, art, and music. It was easy and heartwarming to play :)
Such a cute game! I was able to get 3 hearts and it felt very heartwarming! Well done!
This is really cute and well made. I loved it.
This was a very fun and unique game I had much fun!
Very creative and unique approach to the theme. Nice art too. Well done!
Cute little game! I may have been a fool on my first run through and only got one heart, but fix things up on the second one. Surprised how much personality was able to be packed into Dan, Emma may have not appreciated the all-you-can-eat shrimp, but he's a man of good taste.
emma also loves the clown suit....and lollipops......trust me?????? shrimps, clowns and lollipops are irresistible......
Lovely art and story. I don’t know why it feels so sad to me that doing nothing isn’t even the worse ending… Anyway ! Loved all the little jokes around the house and petting the dog !
Thanks for playing!
we definitely wanted to do more endings, like one where she doesn't show up at all for doing nothing, but time constraints defeated us!
Glad you liked the art and story, and all the little jokes :)
Great stuff!! The art is good; the pacing is really great. Many narrative games are a bit slow. But this one isn't which is great
Great game!! The art is the best I’ve seen in this game jam! Great job!
I appreciated that the clues to do the "perfect" run were straightforward to find and I had a lot of fun going back and replaying to see what intentionally picking various configurations of the "wrong" things did!
Nice game, only real feedback is that it was weird switching from LMB to Space to advance dialog during the date.
I was tempted to go back and try picking the clown suit, but then I felt too bad for Dan...
if you pick all the silly options, there's a little easter egg >:)
oh well if the developer tells me to do it it must be fine
...what do you mean he still has his dignity he's wearing a clown suit
I really see the idea behind this and its implemented very well i liked how i should pay attention to every detail like for example the trip to paris where she liked italian food so that pushed me to go dinner in an italian restaurant very well thought concept well done.
