Ummm when did Spiritfarer get a soup kitchen DLC? This was absolutely lovely to play. The art and music felt cozy in every way, and the stories got me misty. Beautiful entry. I've saved it in my "art goals" collection and gave you allll the stars <3 

Developer

AHH you're so sweet thank you so much πŸ˜­πŸ’•πŸ’•!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed, it really means a lot to us!!

Spiritfarer was actually one of the inspirations for the game, so I'm glad we were able to create a similar atmosphere. Thank you for playing!

I loved the visuals and music! The story is interesting as well. My biggest flaw was that I didn't know what a scallion was... Took me more trial and error than I would want to admit.

Developer

LOL it's ok i'm just glad you figured it out 😭!! i'm glad you enjoyed, thank you so much for playing!!

Developer

I appreciate you saying you didn't know what a scallion was because that tells me we need to work harder to convey that to the players lol. Thanks for playing!

Developer

thank you so much, im really glad you enjoyed it!! also its okay, and im really glad you told us!!! because thats something we can figure out a workaround for as a team so that no one is lost on what ingredient is which!! thank you so much for playing!!! πŸ₯ΊπŸ’•

Well damn. That made me really emotional to play through. The cafe style game genre is pretty popular but this one really feels unique and the art is pretty and the stories are really well done. Great job on this seriously.

Developer

thank you so much πŸ₯Ί!! i'm so glad people were moved by the story!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! We wanted the game to be cozy, yet comtemplative, so I'm glad that came through!

thank you very much !! πŸ₯ΊπŸ’• im really happy to hear that you enjoyed it!!!

You guys did a great job. I agree with the other comments praising you art and visual aspect of the game.

The theme of a kitchen between the afterlife is really interesting, I liked it.

I wish it was easier to see what the pot currently has and what the recipe requires, maybe use images or icons in addition to the names of the ingredients.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! i'll keep that in mind for any future cooking-related games we might make in the future ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely agree that the pot's contents should be clearer, but I wasn't sure how to implement that since it was my first time using Ren'Py. It's definitely something I'd like to polish up, though!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much for the feedback and 100% agree (your suggestions are very nice) !!  we will definitely keep it in mind for next time!!   πŸ™‚‍↕️

oh my god. the workaholics story is so good. all of them are good. i actually cried.

Developer

thank you!! we're so glad you were moved by the story, that means a lot to us πŸ₯Ί!

Developer(+1)

I tried to make each spirit's story and how they felt about their deaths unique, so I'm glad you were moved by them. Thank you for playing!

"Guess what happened? I fell". One of the most polished games in the jam holy crap. The story and the art are so compelling, especially for a 4 day jam. How did you guys do this?

Developer

thank you so much! everyone worked very hard so that really means a lot to us πŸ₯Ί!!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! A lot of the jam was just me rushing to learn Ren'Py and working together with the artists to put their assets into the game. I have no clue how it all worked out, but I'm glad it did!

Developer

thank you very much πŸ₯ΊπŸ’•!!! everyone poured a lot into this game and i'm glad that all the work paid off!!! thank you so much for the kind words!!! it means so much to us!! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• (also i really love your pfp, it makes me smile when i see it LOL)
