That's a cliffhanger ending for sure! I'd like to see where you're taking this story, I don't feel like I ever played a game where I've had to socially manipulate my favor with the inlaws (except for real life huehue).

Good concept. Using the theme in a non action why is very good. The game seems good without the music and SFX, but I wish that there is one, it will go cool with the amazing art.
Nice job!

Collaboration : Brothers adventureHaha I liked the ending - very good.
I hope you keep developing this more, with some animations or something to cause the player to look away from just the text it could be even more capturing.
Thanks goodness for the dog, my anxiety was getting pretty high up there. :)

Don't be late for dinner! (GWJ#24)Yes, I'd like to make at least one post-jam version with improvements like the once you mention.
One thing I've been thinking about is moving the camera slightly depending on who's talking. It might make the scenes less stiff without being to much work. It might also be nausea inducing thou, so it could prove to be a horrible idea.
Thank you for the kind words about the art. It is indeed drawn by hand, on paper, with just a small amount of import editing in Krita (contrast, image splitting, alpha channel etc.).
I'm trying to find ways to make games for computers, while my self spending less time in front of computers. Drawing by hand is an important part of that.
Dad wants to know who am I. Who are any of us really in the grand scheme of the universe?
Had fun playing! My own anxiety level started to go up when I started getting my anxiety meter a little too high there :)
I also enjoy the art, and the simple color scheme helps keep track of who is speaking in each part.

Pandora's Fox: An Animal Family SimCute game ! I liked the story and the hand drawn assets. In particular the color you've chosen for each character.
Also the anxiety meter is a neat addition !

CubeIt's nice to see a game with hand-drawn assets instead of pixel-art. Of course petting the dog reduces anxiety... :D
The "story" in the right side of the screen was a bit weird... maybe because I'm used to the typical bottom-wide text box for the narration, like the user input.

Journey to the Promised LandThan you for paying. Pardon the late reply.
The narrative is placed on the side to let the player read more text at once. This way it's easier to see how the conversation fits together, which hopefully makes things less confusing. I think I I got the idea from 'Disco Elysium', which uses a similar layout.
