Love every part of the game! The visuals, narrative, music, interactions, and the idea itself are all adorable! Great work!

Amazing creativity, narrative. voice acting, sfx, music and art. Such a cool concept for a game with a really sad premise. However every time I downloaded it and tried to launch it, it never booted up. And on the browser version, the subtitled became a bit delayed and pressing space did not keep my eyes open, resulting in a fail. It's a shame because everything about it especially the art and voice acting is awesome!

Might be worth it to add checkpoints in the game so that if you fall asleep, you only reset around 30 seconds instead of resetting all your progress.

Thanks for playing. Were you pressing or holding spacebar?

Submitted

I started repeatedly spamming it because I realised I had forgotten about that mechanic the whole time and I was about to lose

Developer(+1)

I see, yeah when the icon comes up you have to hold the button instead of mashing. Sorry for the mixup

Submitted

Lovely game with amazing art and audio! Unfortunately I had a bug where the narration was out of sync with the text on screen. But overall a great atmospheric game!

Submitted

Such a cute entry, it was so lovely, incredible job!

Submitted

What wonderful illustrations, and a sweet narrative! it wouldve helped to indicate from the start about the sleeping mechanic, i didn't notice and had to restart several minutes in. Thanks for sharing this!

Submitted

Interesting take on the theme! Love the narrator—it really immersed you in the world. It would've been nice if there were an indicator showing when you're about to sleep apart from the screen fading, though maybe that would break the immersion? Not sure! Overall, awesome job!

Submitted

Its a nice idea and I the art is nicely done! I only just didn't like the staying awake mechanic. It just felt more annoying than anything, at least in its current form since its not really engaging and seems to fail even when you are holding the space bar.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out. The idea was that you would inevitably fall asleep

Submitted

wonderful art, very beuatiful and the book looks just as a story book. amazing voice acting too, perfect for reading a story. the music, and ambience is very good as well. everything ties together very nicely

unfortunately, I feel like the game aspect almost takes away from the story. its frustrating when you have to reset, considering that for me it feels increasingly impossible to keep awake

apart from that, everything is very lovely

Great art and concept! I wished it was a little more interactive but canonically my character is sleepy

Submitted

I just wanted to hear the story but I was soooo sleepy...amazing art.  I loved the tiger looking in the well like a square snake.

Submitted

The art is perfect, and the music is really atmospheric too. But the audio-visual desync makes it a bit hard to fully immerse myself.

Submitted

Very pretty game.  It might be due to lag in the web version, but I ended up with the subtitles out of sync to the audio.

Developer

Yeah may be due to lag. It doesn’t seem to happen to everyone, or even every time. I can play through it fine, and other times that issue appears for me.

Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted

Incredible art! It's really a nice idea though I was actually quite hyped by the story so I was not relating to the kid falling asleep. It's a great idea though, might be worth pushing it for a full release!

Submitted

This game really got potential! if I had a kid I would make them play this, so I can skip story telling and play games...bad parenting but ahumm..

But! the game is well made in the given time 5/5 for art.

Submitted

Chill game. Made me sleepy but well made!

Submitted

Very beautiful, though i was suprised by falling asleep!

Submitted

Reeeally well made and gorgeous. Congrats! Beaultiful game

Submitted

Wow, the art and the story were so incredible! I loved how the child's thumb indicates whether you can turn the page or not. I love how responsive the controls were. Beautiful work!

Developer

Thanks so much, thanks for checking it out

Submitted

🤩 soo lovely! Loved it. Not knowing how long and at what times to hold space was quite stressful 😅

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed your time with it :)
