The story idea is probably the strongest part here. Slowly getting your memories and senses back works really well and I like that "home" becomes more than just a place you need to walk to. The way information gets revealed bit by bit kept me interested too.

I think gameplay could use a little more interaction though. There is a lot of reading and walking around so Id add more small puzzles or choices between story parts. Nothing huge. Even things like arranging memories in the right order or finding clues in rooms would make the player feel more involved instead of mostly reading.

I would also change the default RPG Maker menu. Seeing normal JRPG stats in a game thats mostly narrative feels a bit weird when there isnt really combat. A much smaller menu with save settings maybe a journal and current objective would fit the game way better. A journal could also remind you what youve learned because with a lot of dialogue its easy to forget smaller details.

Another thing Id fix is interaction tracking. If Ive already talked to everyone or checked everything in a room the game should remember that. Maybe examined objects could give shorter dialogue after the first time or the objective could change once everything important is done. That would make it much easier to know if youre missing something.

Audio is good but I would lower the default volume. Some scenes can come in pretty loud especially after quiet sections. Starting music around 50-60% and letting people turn it up would probably be safer. Maybe also use a short fade when music starts so the change isnt so sudden.

Theme is 5/5 for me. Losing yourself and then having to figure out what home even means is a much more interesting take than just "walk back home".

Really nice narrative game. I think a custom menu more puzzles and clearer progression feedback would improve it a lot.

If you have some time please check out my game too! Id really appreciate a rating and some feedback :)

Classic RPG Maker Experience!

Gameplay and Visually its decent. I can't really say much because this just the classic RPG Maker game style, which I am not the biggest fan of, I know a lot of people enjoy it. I think maybe just adding something more engaging to the gameplay would go a long way, maybe the battle system built into RPG Maker

The audio was very good! However it was exceptionally loud, which should be an easy fix to be fair, and is not a big issue once it was dealt with!

The theme execution was great, and worked very well with the story!

Overall, while not particularly my style, I do acknowledge it's quality!

Hey, played this one, and had a fun time experiencing the story with its twists and turns. I liked how the player slowly unravels information about himself and gains his senses. Its cool that you place some clues in the library books and some lore about the world. Good job on the storytelling. I felt that there was some actual combat in the game since there was some character screen which had stats but I guess that was just a template? I read through pretty much all the dialogues and didn't really find it uninteresting even though there was a lot. Probably there could have been a few puzzle like elements in the second part of the game similar to the button one in the first part. The mage test was weird but I'm guessing it was base on some decisions I made in the past - want able to figure that one out! Overall it was a really good narrative experience and a different take on the theme which was refreshing!

I love, when the title has additional meaning after you know the story!

I liked the story and how it played on the theme. It has this low-key, life-goes-on optimism that I quite enjoyed. The way the story builds is cool too, revealing itself piece by piece. Also- your writing is getting better and better! At some point it would be cool to see something longer than a jam-length game from you.

As for the graphics and audio... well... it's rpg maker- core! Not much more to say about it!

Gotta say- there are some GoedWare Jam repeat submitters whose work I enjoy each time and you're definitely among them. Keep it up! 

Really nice game! I really enjoyed the gameplay style and the overall experience. My only small suggestion would be to lower the audio volume a little, but overall, great job!

That was an amazing experience from start to finish, with awesome and immersive audio, neat humor and storytelling and a complete package in just a week! Really enjoyed this one and am very impressed by the result. My only feedback would be that it would be great if the game already knew youd talked to the 4 people and already interacted with everything in the library etc as that was slightly immersion breaking, but thats only a tiny nitpick from an awesome game!
