How does the game fit the theme?
The main character is not to be trusted. Not even he trusts himself.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All code and assets were made from scratch. Besides two free to use audio tracks.

Oooooh wow, what a hidden gem! Great art, audio, atmosphere, the gameplay is simple BUT polished enough to feel good to play, and the art and vibe just puts it all together into a beautiful "small story" that incorporates the theme, chef's kiss for the art department on this one! Great Job!!!! Hope you get more reviews, I know what is like to be a downloadable game and is hard, but you deserve much more!
Love the game and animation very well done. Love the style and and vibe. <3
Thanks! I created most of the pixel art, and maimai will come soon... Also she made the animation and the player and the house scenes
I knew it ! I knew it !
Nice little entry. I've managed to get both ending, always a pleasure to see hand animated cutscenes, especially on such a short timeframe.
It's a shame that the game is having a hard time getting ratings, but that's the curse of downloadable entries. Best of luck to you all, hope you at least get to 20 before the end.
Thanks! I drew most of the pixel art, and mai_mai drew the hand-drawn stuff!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you were able to see both endings, Im really proud of how the second ending turned out so :) It is nice to know my animation efforts aren't going to waste qwq
I think we will manage 20 reviews by the end, we have 13-14 right now and we have been getting at least one rating every day :)
Haha I didn't catch any hints till i got to the end, when he ran away I just thought he had social anxiety or something. Could not figure out how to get ending 2 though.
ending 2 can get cryptic, I would recommend looking, and clicking around.
Naw, you just gotta think as if you were the protagonist 🙂↕️
Thats really funny, the ending mustve been so crazy XD
Got both endings! Pretty dark stuff, really liked the vibe and art especially. Not a whole lot there gameplay-wise but I thought it was well-executed in terms of all the "second thoughts" and the presentation of the whole thing. From a story perspective I would have liked to see a little more of the main character's motivations. In any case, nicely done!
Thank you so much, and very true. We thought making the main character more mysterious could be beneficial for the current vibe. But I definitely want to expand on his motivation and the second ending in particular in a possible second game. But its a group project so it also depends on what my brothers think as well. Ill definitely check out your entry later today!
We kinda already have his motivations in our heads, so it will def get revealed in whatever second game we crank out! I am so glad you liked the art and endings! :D
Really enjoyable game! I liked the atmosphere, the visual style, and how cohesive the whole experience felt. Really solid work for a jam game — well done!
Thank you so much! Ill be sure to check out your entry later today!
Thank you so much! That means so much! :D
Damn, that’s a joker move to pull. Funny that the guy who realized it was a bomb just said “OH LAWD” and then never did anything about it. Liked it, congratz on the work!
They actually do get something done in the secret ending hint hint 😎
They def couldve done something immediately XDD also thank you so much!!!
the game is super nice and the art work is also cool .i like that dramatic ending :))
thanks dude 🙏
I am so glad you liked it, thank you!!
Nice game. The font changing was interesting, but made it hard to read. I was kind of surprised by the ending, not really sure where that came from.
Im the guy that made the font, and that was the biggest complaint during development as well. Amazingly it used to be even less readable lol
Yeah we are going to explore more of the story later! Depending on what ending you got first it might be confusing too! Both endings work in tandum if you haven't played that one yet! :3 Thank you so much for playing our game :D
Art is great. Some clever thoughts on the portaits. Sounds are well placed as well. Theme is a bit heavy.
Mine also has a main character which should not be trust. If you'd like to try it out, please tell me how I executed that twist.
Thanks! we worked very hard for the whole time, and we really like what came out!
I am the artist, I am so glad you liked it! Yeah, it was a really heavy theme, but whats funny is that one of our little brothers came up with it! XD (the bomb thing)
And of course! I will play your game right now and leave a comment on how I liked it! :D
thank you 😎
I enjoyed it! The art is really well done. I liked the story too. I just wish the player had more choices and freedom for more varied outcomes. Maybe you could expand upon this after the game jam! Just a suggestion tho :>
You know it. def expanding on the game at some point. Theres a secret ending if you haven't found it btw
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I bet we will continue with the game, it was so fun making the art and endings for it!
The art & music were both great and fit the vibe of the game. The only complaint I have is that the gameplay is more a delivery system for the art and audio rather than the gameplay being the center. Then again the gameplay isn't always the most important part of a game.
I do get that, I think we couldve also added more gameplay, but we mostly just wanted to tell a story so we thought that fit :)
First of all I love the art. Its gives the game a unique vibe.
Gameplay wise I think it is a bit flat. I would like to see some choices (like maybe add a mechanic to deliver the packages or some dialogue options). They don't really need to change the outcome in the end but at least the player has something to play with till he gets to the end.
The end is really worth it and I like the twist there! But I think many people could drop the game before they even get there.
Nice work !
Artist here, I am so glad you liked my style! I do agree with the gameplay, we honestly should have talked about it a bit more, thank you for your input! I am glad you also enjoyed the endings! That makes me so happy!!
Thanks! I think it would be cool to make a game off of this, with better gameplay and longer time, but I was amazed when I saw the final version.
We do got some talented artists 😎
The game is really fun! I hope we can play together and rate each other's performance!
I am glad you liked it! Thank you for playing! I am off to play your game as well >:)
Thank you, and im really impressed with your submission!
its good as in game play but i couldnt understand the theme
Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked it! To the theme, we decided to kind of flip it on its head, so Noone can trust You, if that makes sense. Thank you again!!! :)
