Relatable

The vibes of this game are quite nice. I like how the game tells a story through the players actions rather than through a body of text at the beginning of the game. Well polished and well made game :)

Feels like I'm playing Omori, very good style and narrative for a game made in 4 days, Hope you keep going on this, Keep up the good work! (and maybe consider trying my game if you want)

I really love the feel of the game. It gives very Omori vibes with everything feeling cute and comber while also being creepy especially with the break in. The game also feels so real and I'm sure we can all at some point in our lives feel this way. I tried my very best with the secret code but I cant tell whats intentional and whats not intentionally pointing to the secret. Great game!

I tried doing everything I can in the game, I've seen some scenes and the game credit, but I haven't find the password. But the chores gameplay was absolute fire.

I wont say the password but I'll give a hint : the hint gived on the computer talks about a file in it. In this file, something is off with some characters.

Oof, this is pretty relatable. Just the listless feeling and the amount of effort it takes to do small tasks, and the feeling of losing the potential that you used to have and realizing you shouldn't blame yourself for it. This is really great stuff, the artwork's really good and you really nailed the feeling of kinda being trapped in an endless cycle. I like the ending sequence as well.

It kinda feels like there's some unsaid story beats going on in the background, is this character in witness protection maybe? They mention a few times that they "can't" go outside almost like they're not allowed to, or maybe it's just a psychological limitation, not sure. Either way it has a lot of good narrative stuff going on.

Developer

You're the first to see that there's a bit more story than what is told ! Why the character can't go outside is told after finding the password. The most important secret is the upper left room (what it means)

Really enjoyed this, definite Omari vibes.  Story hits a little close to home lol. Nice narrative and I like the pace you discover things.

nice game, doing all the chores was a good time and I liked the password puzzle, only real complaint is that some of the in world objects seem a bit tricky to interact with, I couldn't pick up the duster for a while. the ending was pretty cool too.
