Really interesting concept! The mouse was such a cutie. I found the italics with the font was a bit hard to read, but otherwise great job!

Some things are better left unsaid....

Well the fact that this game has a strong message is not one of them! I like the topic of dealing with an "internal turmoil" caused by being thrown around despite being the nicest person alive and coming to the conclusion that it really is better to just talk to someone about it. 

Bottling negative emotions and not talking to people (let alone psychiatrists) about it is sadly a very common thing nowadays, with myself included.

Great stuff! I wish it was a bit longer though 

Good job on getting this game out there! The story setup is interesting - our poor purple is too selfless and deserves better.

Some feedback: the long windup to the walk was quite frustrating and it made me at first think I couldn't move. Additionally, your itch page forgot to mention 'Mouse' as part of the controls. 

The game ended surprisingly short, I'd want to see more of it and hope to see the world expanded upon further!

I’m a fan of the art style of the comic at the start and the end of the game. I found it funny how you used a random real life photo with lots of blur for the background. 

It’s an interesting take on the "Trust No One" theme. It’s a shame it’s so short, I liked it.

The only thing that bothered me was the pace of the comic at the end of the game. I could barely keep up with the text (well, English isn't my native language 😋). I’d have liked the game to wait for the player to tap the screen or press a button, before moving on to the next screen

I always tend to skip over the story and go straight to the gameplay, but in this game the story really takes center stage. From the decisions to the various "tasks" I was invested the whole time. I thought the walking felt a bit sluggish, but maybe because it was a dream, hence the movement choice. The shader transition out of the dream was  cool. Nice job!!

So sweet, loved how the story turned out in the end :>

I really liked the sound and visuals also, but sometimes footsteps sound could get a bit off, like there's multiple people walking at same time... for the sprites, it's weird you get "under" the npcs sprites also. But I still got an amazing experience, it's a creative and emotional game, congrats to the team :)

A short, bittersweet story. I actually wished there was more content because I really related to the main character in the premise and was ready to get emotional. :D Congrats on getting the submission done!

Very relatable story, I liked the world you created! There's definitely potential here and it would be cool to see it developed further into a full game!
For improvement, I think the movement animations could use some fine-tuning (for example, walking left or right looks awkward because the character's torso is completely still. Having his torso move as well will help it feel more alive!) as well as some font errors that caused characters to not load correctly. 

Overall though, great job!

Liked: The art is cute and the story is nice and comforting.

Could improve: Honestly not much. It does everything it sets out to do.

Additional Comments: It's a short and sweet game where you don't let the world around you bring you down to it's level. You're allowed to feel but that doesn't mean you have stop being kind because of it. At least that is my take away. Good Job!

Hello! I really enjoyed the opening scene and liked your take on the theme. My main critic would be about the clunky movement, it feels like or looks like it accelerates at first and felt kind of weird. I wish there was a bit more to the story but obviously this is a game jam so it's hard to blame you!! Did seem like the end came a bit too soon but I do think you have a pretty good narrative idea here and I could see it being developed well!! I must say the intro humanoid art is weirdly charming haha :)

I really liked the mix of the two art styles, and the story felt really nice. The music was good as well. 
It would have been nice if the world felt a little more built out and had some ambient terrain. 
Great job on completing this!

This is such a pretty game. I really like the intro, the story, and the simple mechanics. The story is really good, and I agree with the last statement. The intro really got me hooked, mannn. Beautiful game!

Hi !

I love the narrative and the atmosphere you managed to create despite simple/learner visual arts, and how you cleverly re-used the character's assets to create multiple characters. 

I liked having to solve the puzzles and the choices we can make in the dialogues to find the right path to make progress too. The story is interesting and makes me want to know more o_o

Your games hower feels a bit unpolished, but I think it's mainly due to the fact you are learning art. I can't give you 5/5 because it would be unfair to other, more experienced artists but I think you're on the right path ! I myself don't dare yet to create my own art for games. Apart from that everything else looks pretty solid to me !

I liked the narration and the music of the game, but I am not sure is there anything more to the story after the guy saying I am you and the ending plays? Also, the movement and the animation of the player for me doesn't really sync up, there is also player sprites at below of other character's sprite which was already mentioned in the comments. But. overall a nice game!

Interesting entry!

You did a great job setting the tone in the intro cutscene, I found it very relatable, and the music particularly stood out as helping carry that along across every track. Music was both competently made and very well tailored to the narrative and emotional tone - big props to the composer!

Visually, everything was clear and understandable which is the most important thing. The sprites were well drawn, but the walking animation maybe looked a little off.

Couple of minor bugs here and there that I think you could spend a pretty short amount of time figuring out before your next jam and you'll be able to handle them very quickly. The most obvious were the missing font glyphs (I think it was an apostrophe and I noticed one later that did render, I didn't go back to check if it was the same font but if so it probably means the "broken" one was likely trying to use the typographic apostrophe " ’ " and the working one was the more common typewriter apostrophe " ' ") and some iffy z-indexing (godot has a native y-sorting feature).

I enjoyed the overall narrative and writing, some dialogue could be cleaned up but I am very guilty of crunch writing and know how messy things can get in a jam lol. As far as the narrative goes, I thought your idea was super interesting and made me want to see more about how the protagonist went about reconciling his conflicting feelings, and how he might approach similar problems in real life after this experience, and different problems in the same way in the future. I'm not saying I think there should've been more content, I think what you have is a good amount for a jam, I just think it was intriguing enough to explore further!

Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more!

This game was such a treat! Im glad the main character was able to confront himself and the narrative devices were nice! The world transforming was pretty trippy. Great job! :)

The music and the scenery is so lovely, I got lost for a few minutes but I figured out eventually. Lovely game :]]]
