I really enjoyed it! Spent quite some time here, cracked all but one puzzle - the rings got me. Thanks for the PDF, great idea to offer small hints like that. Very nice!

So cool!! Really liked the art and the hints, my problem and where I failed was figuring how many spots Daisy has, I thought she has 2 spots on her face 1 on each side, or maybe she does? I still can see 7 lol

Thank you for providing the hint/answers boook!!! very helpful after feeling despair haha 

(btw one of my cats is named Daisy, she is a calico but no way you could ever count all her spots haha)

Thank you for such an amazing entry!!

edit: I reread the hint again and realized now that the left spot is the same as in the other picture, haha

So I was right about her having two spots on the face!

Really smart hints, I think you made it just the right amount of frustrating with the "aha!" moment!!!

Thank you so much for playing and your detailed review! So cute that your cat is named Daisy too <3 It's hard to find the sweet spot for puzzles, where they are satisfyingly challenging without being frustrating, so I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed them and that the hints were helpful (hopefully without being too obvious)! ^^

I really liked it! It took me a while (and embarassing amount of times counting the spots) but it was so fun! Plus nothing can beat have the satisfaction of open the diary! 

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I guess puzzle games are all about that satisfying payoff and I hope we achieved that haha

What a fun game, made me think a lot. The horse one was definately the hardest for me, I didnt realize i had to count her spots (even after reading the fine print lol). Having a old phon when i was young helped with sora's number lol, didnt even have to type that in, knew it instantly. 
Anyways, great game, a little tricky, but fun when you're able to solve it. Also, hints helped alot, thanks for that, very thoughtful!

Developer

Thank you so much! I really feel like the phone puzzle gets much easier if you had a phone like that yourself haha. Happy to hear that the hints were helpful! <3

It was such a fun game to play ! It wasn't too hard but still a little bit challenging (the math sheets made me feel dizzy haha) ! Great work ! <3

Developer

Thank you for playing! Even I get a bit overwhelmed by the math sheets haha, but I'm glad that didn't stop you! ^^

Took me awhile (and a peek at the walkthrough) to get it figure out, but this was really cool!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm really glad we uploaded the pdf, even though having hints in-game might have been the more elegant solution ^^'

I greatly enjoyed the interpretation of the theme and the idea is incredibly unique (I remember the y2k "girly" journals with passcodes). Surprisingly tricky but I figured it out in the end!  I thought it was cute that the cd player stops the music but it's also good to have an option that mutes sound as well (though I actually like the drag and drop sounds!). 

Developer

Thank you so much! Very relieved that you liked the interpretation of the theme, I was a bit worried that it wasn't clear enough ^^' And you're right about the sound, maybe clicking on the CD Player could have opened a sound menu or something like that.

Developer

Thank you so much! <3

that's a really cool concept! :D the sheets of paper can be a bit annoying to reorganize but the game and puzzle was really fun :3 (also omg i love that the cd player acts as the music toggle that's so clever)

Developer

Thank you for playing! We would have loved to make it easier to line up the papers but it was a bit finicky. Hopefully it isn't too annoying. And yeah we're kinda proud to have thought of the CD player as the toggle haha.

incredibly fun, beautiful artwork! made me feel awfully clever for solving it in one go, haha.

Developer

thank you so much! And congrats for solving it in one go <3

Very cute and very polished! I was able to figure it out and I enjoyed it a lot! Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! After a couple of rather unpolished game jams, this was definitely one of our goals! Happy to hear you enjoyed it ^^

This is SO cute! I had to use the hints a lot, but it still super fun. It really felt super nostalgic 

Developer

Thank you so much! We would have liked to include the hints in the game but time got away from us ^^' Glad to hear you enjoyed it anyway!

Captures childhood well.

So fun! Great Nancy Drew-like vibes. We had to rely on the guide a bit, but had fun solving the puzzles. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Ideally we would have liked to incorporate the hints into the game itself, but as always with game jams, time got away from us haha. But happy to hear it was fun anyway ^^

Developer

Thank you so much! ^^ I had to look up everything when I drew the math riddle haha, but if you want a hint (or the solution) there is a pdf on the page with a walkthrough.

Really fun game! The puzzles are creative and the hole  y2k aesthetic  with the visuals and music is so well done!
