Really well done, compadres!

The art is so beautiful, all the sounds are on point and the gameplay is nice. I love Roberto so much, I got a bit sad at the ending. Can I adopt him?

Congratulations on the game!

I really liked the intro sequence! The tasks from the other animals were also a fun touch to keep it interactive.  The art and sounds pair so well together, and it feels very polished. Nice stuff!

Such a cute game! Oh no, poor Roberto and his newspaper, that part got me. The soundtrack is really cozy too. Great submission, well done!

Seeing Roberto lying under leaves with a smile on his face felt oddly charming. It really felt like home, maybe not under a roof, but with the same warmth. I can’t describe it, it’s just one of those things you forget as you live. Thanks for reminding me that I haven’t lost this feeling.

omg thank you so much for your comment. I'm really glad our little story moved you in that way <3

Overall a beautiful game with excellent graphics! The autumn effect stands out strongly with falling leaves. The music is fitting. I wish there was a way to proceed the dialogues faster.

Roberto is so cute !
Love all the different ways to help the other animals and sounds you incorporated to this game 🍂💖🦝
We think it would be nice to be able to read the dialogues faster (by displaying completely each line after one click) and to move a little bit quicker. Also, as someone else suggested it, a small delay after the conversation ends could help not accidentally reenter the dialogue.
Otherwise it is a really, really nice entry, with a very poetic and cozy autumnal story.
Congrats 💖🌈✨

I was thinking exactly the same about the dialogues, but the time was running so freaking fast and decided to stop fixing those tiny details and bugs to actually deliver the game T_T

Thanks a lot for playing our gameeee

Very charming experience, beautiful art! It gave me Over the Garden Wall vibes ;)
Gameplay wise I would add a small delay after the conversation end so players could not reenter dialogue with double clicking interact button. Great work! 

Developer

Couldn't agree more with your feedback! Thanks for letting us know :)

Over the Garden Wall was indeed some inspo we used, glad you got that vibe

Idk what i expected from the ending but it was unexpected and lowkey funny to me. The ART WAS SO CUTE!!!! It's so polished! And I absolutely LOVED the frog's voice it tickled my funny bones. Loved your game <3

Developer(+1)

Omg it is so rewarding getting to know different people enjoyed differen NCP's and details of them :)

Thanks for playing and getting through the end!

At the end Roberto realized he was hyper-fixated in something material he didn't need anymore, for he had found a better place to be <3
