if you manage to figure out how to unlock them i will be exceptionally impressed. thank you for playing and have a fantastic day :D‌ 

yay!!!!!!! omg three endings is super impressive :D‌. its such a crazy thought that other people actually play these little games we make. thank you for your absolutely lovely comment, i hope you have a fantastic day <33

the music is especially fantastic, like the end credits song especially goes so hard. also the use of real images over the cartoony art is great, lol at frog in box. impressive job creating a completely different vibe for each setting with the music background and sprites. very cute and satisfying. :D‌ 

THANKS!! :DD

THNAK YOU!!!! that joke was partially "oh god its day 3 of the jam and we have been using australian spelling this whole time", im so glad you appreciated our silly meta comment lol. crazy that you already played two endings <33, rose bad ending is prolly my personal fav. literally so grateful that youre playing this, have a lovely day :DD

thank youu!!!!! yeah i pretty much trapped eleanor in a hotel lobby and made her write for 3 days straight. the amount she can get done when provided with adequate hot chocolate and laptop chargers scares me a little. thanks for playing :DD

ahh thank you!!!! 

i love the crt-style art, my poor little guy is so cute and small :((. love the tiny homestucky details, pulchtritude and vim are also fantastic stats and the walkietalkie quirk is fun. depressing stuff, got infinitely trapped in a depression cave which is either a metaphor or a bug. super glitchy on my browser atm (especially the text reveal for some reason? which is a pity because the ui is gorge) so im excited to come back and play after voting is over :DD

not to be dramatic but i adore this game's design. like, the music. super consistent colour & vibe theme. vertical scrolling pesterlogs that reveal as u click. the use of the 4 diegetic terminal screens to supplement the text (totally taking notes on your idea of adding screens with relevant changing pictures for future jams, ive been struggling with how to keep people engaged during long text sequences and clearly it worked on me :P). super meta with the davesprite game ref. also playing as a combo of the two objectively best homestuck characters, peak.

also holy shit i want to play as hell tier ace dick in hit game jester quest 2. surprisingly inspiring, i hope you keep creating too <33

i rarely see game jam 3d games function this unbuggily... insanely impressive for 2 days!!! the art is so cute (havent managed to get any endings but esp the ending screenshot style, i love the main guys eyes he's so ;___; ), the ui&menus&pesterquest client are all super customised and fit the aesthetic, insanely cool. also the microwave instructions lol. (also-also an entire secondary mostly-unrelated side game is crazy cool????)

the world layout is surreal, the entire game feels like a strange dream. like wandering through a field in a chef hat collecting floating hairy coconuts. fantastic vibe thanks for making such a cool game.

this game has fantastic bones, super excited to see what you do with this after the voting period. i didnt expect the 3d movement on a 2d background!! thats a really cool way to let people explore, felt more dynamic than a flat scroller / point and click with the depth matching the image perspective. also the combo of handdrawn characters & purple-saturated real images (e.g. in the cave) feels super homestuck in the best way. while i enjoyed my time in the default skybox (i read the description after lol oops) i can't wait to come back to this and finish my radical dirk strider cosplay!!!!

thank u omg!!!!!! im so glad the storyline made sense & was worthwhile!!! despite no playtesting/proofreading eleanor seems to have this magical ability to make fight options and their impacts like... logically coherent? also omg congrats for getting the good ending that took me forever!! (sorry the endcard was broken lol). thanks sososo much for playing and for your lovely comment, this is like the highest compliment on all points :D‌ <33

YES AGREE WITH THE DAVE FIT!!!!!!! you can defo see which character was eleanor's fav haha. if candy dave must live in  (mostly) misery the least we can do is give him a radical suit jacket. thank u a lot and have a wonderful day!! :DD

augh thank you!!!! hal is such a fun character to focus on for the interpersonal drama, im glad you also like playing as him :DD

this is such a ridiculously cute idea. all the fun nostalgic feeling of, like, papas freezeria but with fun ingredients and no stressful time limit (best!!!!!). if you ever work on this game again (i hope so!!!) i'd love some labels on the ingredients /  drink type definition cards. i may not be the best barista but i am certainly an enthusiastic one! thanks for a very fun 20 mins :DD 

this is so fun!!!!!!!! i had a good strat going until all i had was purple mushrooms everywhere that nobody wanted 😭.  also random but the instruction diagram in the screenshots is very cute. 

argh this sounds so cool!! commenting so i remember to come back after the jam.

i had a fantastic time feeding my son GLOp some delactable not-shrimp. consort conversations were delightfully strange and the wallet modus is really cool as an item system! very fun, if you ever continue making this id love to talk to more consorts lol :D‌ 

played through the prospitian half like "wow i am filled with so much wonder the world is so beautiful" and then chose the derse half and 😭. gorgeous for something so simple. could do with a nice mystical soundtrack

woah :000 i was not expecting the whole screen to be the mspa page format!!! having the blue ==> link change whenever youre close enough to interact with something is really intuitive. especially loved the page with the "RING RING" button, very important feature. fun bike ride im such a good employee.

thank you thank you!!! to be honest we never tested which endings / achievements are possible so that is likely a wise call lol, thank you for playing through all the way to whichever ending you did reach! thx a lot for trying out our game, I hope you have a lovely day :DD 

ahhhhh thank you!!!!! eleanor's writing and art is incredible, defo worth her lost sleep. i'm so glad someone else appreciates being our beloved pair of generally nonfunctional sunglasses. thank you so much for playing and for your kind comment <3333

holy shit the mspa format simulated within the game in the intro is so cool. very polished game clearly made with care, i love how the ui details are also themed. like even the in-character notifs, settings menu strife bars, photo by the counter augh!! gets kinda hard too, i kept destroying the universe oops 😔

a fridge being described as a "cold, wet abyss" is disconcerting for some reason. hell yeah i didnt get stabbed to death even for presenting the worst sandwich ive ever seen in my life. maybe the derse food situation is just that bad. (that was fun!!)

jovialmaxxing. that was really satisfying!

hell yes. exactly what it says on the tin. i like his wiggly little wings, very cute.

"but im not a developer" WELL YOU ARE NOW! CONGRATULATIONS! the sprite walk cycle on the lil caraprician dude is fantastically bouncy. i hope that there are many more games in your future.

this was incredibly wholesome. he's so cute and small. i hope someday this salamander may bake cookies for other young salamanders. glub. god i wish i was a salamander.

i was not expecting an actual genuine DBT skill list, and a pretty solid one at that. love the therapist's branding, very positive. fuck yeah dirk finally gets a happy ending (well, at least one was)

the music in this goes so hard. the jellyfish parallax effect is also really cool. i initially felt so bad punching (stabbing?) the consorts to death 😭 but it must be done!!! meteor best. i replayed for the sandwich and i really don't know what i was expecting. now repenting for my sins by feeding the innocent survivors.

this is very cleanly made, i love the bouncy little consorts. for a game that isn't primarily dialogue the instructions & tutorial were ridiculously fun to read ("i have kids" 😭 ) like noo omg im failing this

This brings me so much joy. I just spent severl mins wandering in circles collecting infinite mushrooms. I have not used the word "derpy" since approximately 2015, but it is the only accurate descriptor for this little guy. Fascinated by the "tim" button, what was/is its purpose in this world?
(EDIT: NEVERMIND I DISCOVERED THE TIM BUTTON PURPOSE WOW IM SO FANCY IN MY SCARF. ROBOT SALAMANDER HELL YEAH)

Ahhh thank you!!! Benefits of kidnapping an artist for the weekend, Eleanor's work is fantastic! 

I keep losing shrimp out the sides of the tank 😭😭😭😭😭 the tiny dollar signs as they fly across the menu are so funny. Godspeed my little shrimp friends. I love my fish hell.

We just played this for 40 minutes straight. Fantastic stuff. Oddly mesmerising. It eventually forced me to leave my perfect world, my sanctuary, my pond. I will miss it forever. My walls of poison frogs and laser shooting koi. Heaven. Thanks for a fantastic 40 mins, like unironically great fun. 

Oooooh that would be fantastic!! I might finally find something worthy of replacing the BOTW guardian alert sound as my alarm clock noise.

 (The stress is a good thing by the way - it’s really impressively good at getting you feel emotionally involved quickly haha!)

Thank you thank you for playing!!! I'm soso glad you liked it. As I didn't make the art/story I am equally impressed by it so: YEAH!!! ELEANOR'S ART AND CHARACTERS ARE SO SO COOL :DDD 
Thank you again and have a very good day!!

Ahh thank you so so so much!!! :DD I'm so glad we have a Meilyn fan, she deserves everything. <333

There was almost certainly some repeating dialogue haha, we spent an hour frantically speedrunning every convo but I'm sure there are some we missed. I'll catch those bugs after the jam finishes, thank you for your wisdom 🫡

Meilyn deserves the entire world and for all her dreams to come true 😭

I REALLY love the idea and aesthetics!!!!!! Feels like hacker-pokemon but with intermissions designed to raise my anxiety levels. I'm gonna be seeing those red dots in my dreams.
