Really liked the art style and how cohesive everything feels. Story was really interesting as well. Good use of the theme, congrats on completing the game jam!

I normally don't go for visual novels - but genuinely, I loved this. There was a certain peace to it, and the integration of the theme (without being too on the nose) was really soild. Great stuff!

Submitted

Great game, not a lover of this games with too much text, but it was nice, I love the music!

This is SUCH a good game with a great story and a great message. Well done!

I didn't really get what I was supposed to be doing, but in the end it all clicked. My time with the game ended before I expected, and that's when I realized that all along it was up to me to embrace the mundaneness of every day because it could be over at any moment. And in the end it didn't matter that I got fired from my day job lol. Creative game and great soundtrack, thanks for sharing!

very engaging story

I really like the vibes of this game! I spent all of my time before being wiped out working too much just to buy muffins and give them to my neighbour. Very fun!

There is so  much substance in this game !!! Honestly amazed !!! Good job team

I really like it when games let you click while text is appearing to instantly show the whole sentence. Nice touch!

There was a lot to do, which was really impressive for a game jam. I enjoyed the story, although I wasn't always sure what I was supposed to be doing next.

Overall, great job!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this game. The contrast between the peaceful village setting and the constant feeling that something terrible might happen was very effective. The writing did a great job building tension even during ordinary conversations, and the art style fit the mood perfectly. I also liked how the "countdown" theme was interpreted through anxiety and anticipation rather than a literal timer. My only suggestion would be to add a few more interactive choices that have visible consequences, but overall this was a memorable experience.

I am shocked by how much content one person made in such a short time. The story seems to be ultra deep. I will need to revisit and get into it after the jam. Really impressive.

Submitted

The artwork is really REALLY impressive. Great job on the game, its got great gameplay too

Submitted

I loved the story and the artwork!

Touching stuff addressed in a short timespan, really liked my playthrough! Screw the coffee shop, I'm planting flowers

Submitted

What a nice experience. Just a cool storyline and I played it twice to see what would happen. And this art is really impressive for 5 days. Great job overall!

Submitted

Loved the art and the characters. The story was great. Are there multiple endings? If so I might need to play it again later.

Submitted

Great story! I was totally immersed in the oppressive (yet dimly hopeful?) atmosphere, and the gameplay played into both the jam theme and the theme of the story. Awesome job.

I have no clue what my goal here is.. I can say that the narrative, artwork and audio are good however.
