I didn't think I'd play though the whole thing, but I found myself wanting to complete it as I loved the writing and art style. Truly a beautiful game. Great work!
a heartfelt game made with care and love, I genuinely enjoyed it.
the writing was wonderful! when the old man spoke of his late wife, how she left so abruptly without consent. the line about how a name can feel so new, belonging to someone so familiar.
the ways things change around us can be distressing and new, but acceptance of that truly brings about a new perspective. thank you for making this! (I teared up ;-; also, very clever to fit the limitation into the narrative instead of the gameplay!)
This game is incredible! My jaw dropped at the art, and I really loved the story the game told. Awesome submission :D
Really impressive entry: narrative, art and gameplay were all so on point! I loved the designs of all the different characters appearing on their doorsteps, and the cooking mini game was super satisfying. My favorite part was stamping the boxes - such a nice touch. Congrats on your wonderful game!
Incredibly well polished and large play-time for a game jam! Really enjoyed the pie baking process. The artwork are so cute. Pretty unique limitation usage of looking away from someone for years and they changed.
This game hits me so hard! I don't know why that made me so emotional. Thanks for this amazing experience...
such a nice take on the theme!! The art is so beautiful and i really liked cooking everything too, following the recipe did indeed feel like I'm looking at my mum's recipes. Awesome job :)
Love it! The art is amazing!! the atmosphere is so cozy and I like the story. The cooking process is fun too, I enjoyed the stove mini game the most
The page was really pretty, and the game aswell, the atmosphere was the best part, not just the art but the feeling of nostalgia and sadness too! This was a very good experience.
The art is amazingggg!!! The game captured the cozy autumn feeling so well :)))
I was feeling melancholic during the conversation with the dad and then the credits rolled in and I laughed out loud with:
"dis shit hard af"

I think many people have commented already how gorgeous your art is,cher_reii, and it is. I think beyond looking nice, you have an eye for composition and storytelling through your art.
Of course, I also commend the gameplay and programming of the game. I do have a request, miss tullie. Can you maybe move the trash trigger to the bottom-left or even top-left instead of it being on the center? I had a heart attack when all my efforts disappeared trying to put the pie into the box. The pie container and the box are dangerously close to the trash.

You both have made a wonderful game! I am excited to see what you guys will come up next time
(˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ノ゙
WOAH this game is so gorgeous! First game jam entry to bring a tear to my eye. The character design is incredible and I wanna eat all the pies. Such a touching story too. Amazing work all around!
WOW! This was art (literally)! The style and vibe of this game is the best ive seen this jam. I loved this eventhough this isnt even my usual type of game. It had such a emotional story that gripped me, making me want to play more! I finished it, keep up the amazing work :D
Really nice work here. Emotional and relatable and very human. Right on theme and great interpretation of the limitation. The stories and intrigue of who would order a pie next kept me making more. The art is AMAZING for such a short jam this is incredibly polished work, well done!!
Made me shed a couple of tears.
I have been away from home for a while and have not been able to travel for quite a while. This made me miss my home and my family. Thank you for sharing this beautiful game!
The story is really well written, and the visuals are wonderful! i absolutely love the art style and the small animations here, and the use of the limitation on the story is clever. Nice work!
Art and story fits the theme and limitation perfectly here. The characters are adorable and the ending echoes with the game title, really touching and heartwarming. Cooking recipes seems pretty realistic yet simple enough to learn and push the story. Amazing VN and thanks for making this! ❤︎

Also funny reference to the Hot Beach Babes game XD

Beautiful art and the gameplay is so intuitive! I never felt confused on trying to find any of the ingredients and it was fun putting the pies together. The story is short and sweet and captures the theme of the game jam really well! I really like the continuity between your game jam stories as well. Wonderfully polished and fun game!
