How does the game fit the theme?
A Rough Cut a short and sweet cooking visual novel in which the head chef of a restaurant in France has been murdered, and you must take his place to serve the famous food critic her meal that night. Unfortunately, the chef's famous recipe book has been destroyed, and you need to look around and find clues, and ask your colleagues for information to solve this mystery of the missing recipe. Unfortunately, your colleagues are not the most trustworthy, and have strong opinions on how food should be made. It is your challenge to decipher truth from lies and recover the chef's true recipe - or develop your unique own recipe!

Liked: The art is outstanding! The different characters really stand out with their unique personalities. Asura is my spirit animal lmoa.
Could Improve: Obviously alot but I'm sure you guys already know most stuff you want to work on. I'm hoping you guys improve the game on sfx side as well. It could really use some sound effects. Also some outlines on the interactable objects or just the mouse cursor changing can go a long way.
Additional comments: Don't think I missed the Phoenix Wright reference XD. The writing is superb and I'll test out the post jam version if I can.
Oh my gosh! Somebody who appreciated the PW reference! I'm so glad. Thank you for all the wonderful feedback and we definitely hope you play on full release - Alette
Really cool point and click! Awesome art style!
The game was so much interactable it felt it needed more content, from characters with quirky dialogues to being able to look and search around every nook and cranny (they were things i didn't expect i could click on). But for me the captivating element was the art reminding me of pizza tower, I'll be looking into it when it's fully released.
Thank you so much! These are such lovely compliments. We'll do our best to finish it after the jam!
The dialogues are really good, we can feel the different personality of the characters! I would suggest that When taken the ladder, you should make it disappear from there as it is in our inventory. And to put the corresponding UI for the ladder. But other than that, great job! will check when the game is finished!
Thank you so much for the feedback! And yes, that's definitely on the list for improvements! We'll make sure to comm with the devlogs about updates and such
beautiful art! I will say maybe include some UI element as it wasn't too obvious how I was how to explore.
What a lovely game, beautiful art and fun dialogues :))
I hope you make it a full game!
Vibes, Charming with Cool and cute characters. Can't wait to see more!
Also.... #FreeRataouille!!!!!
great game one of the best art ive seen on the jam if not the best the story and characters are really good too
Thank you so much, it's an incredible honor to have you play our game!
The game has a unique charm to it, I like the visuals. Unfortunately the game DOES seem to be a bit buggy so I'm just leaving my ratings here for now. Do update me here when y'all finish up the fixes, I really wanna rate this higher!!
Just pushed a new build with bugfixes for the portraits and the wetstone!! I hope this works!
Your game is sooo darned CUTE. ALl the art is amazing. I wish you'd had time to hire voice actors, or at least add text sounds.
Cool Pixel Art style and Setting. Character Designs are also impressive. When i collect the ladder in look in my inventory it does not look like the ladder instead has the unity logo.
It really looks amazing the art is so nice. The music also very enjoyable to listen to. You guys did amazing job with 7.
Very promising game. Fits perfectly into the theme. Killer soundtrack and beautiful artwork.
The art and music fits so well together! Actually, I really love the music, the vibe just fits soo well, this is just my subjective opinion cause it's my taste haha. But the characters are really well done too, they really gave me a laugh and their personalities were really shining through. But this is just a first impression kinda feedback, I won't rate it just yet. I'll make sure to come back in a few days to check out the "polished cut" version :D.
Sadly, due to the rules of the jam, I'm afraid we cannot add more dialogue to it, as unfortunate as it is. But we do hope you come back to check it out when we release it proper, after the jam has concluded :)
Ooh, then that's unfortunate. But I think you can fix bugs and stuff, just not add more gameplay. Then I'll see it when you do release it fully!
Overall great aesthetics and music. The dialogues that I have with certain characters reveal their personalities and in a way, makes me relate to them upon finding out the chef is dead. I couldn't really do much besides interacting with characters and inspecting different items/points of interest. The storytelling is well-done.
Beautiful art! I like the personalities too. Unfortunate that you didn't get to finish it, but this is a good start :)
