Short and sweet!
This genre is way off my comfort zone, but I'm glad I saw it through!
My favorite part is how the music shifts when important creepy details are revealed.
Nice game! I really liked the visuals and the simplicity of controls. The story was interesting and it felt great to figure out stuff myself.
I have only 2 complaints:
Edit: Did you make the game in Godot? I saw that there was a pck file along with the exe. If so, could you please create binaries for Linux too? I played your game using Wine on Ubuntu. I can test your game on Linux if you want.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I would've liked to put more, but there's only so much I can do in seven days lol.
And sure! Here's the download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11X2wMVTcyBrh1GbG8TddcWTv3f0Vf71U/view?usp=shari...
Hopefully I did it right, I've never exported to Linux before.
Thanks for the Linux export! I ran it for a while. Things seem to be fine.
Well, its true, you do get stuck after checking the clock😂. I like the art and the background, it look really clean. And I really really like this time of game, I've played it till the end! It was a well made game,and I really like the Idea And story behind it.
Very cool game!
I liked how all of the writing told you about things you needed to know, like the food / water being on Thursdays, the window being open to know you could fill the water, none of it felt like guessing.
I like the creepy vibe the game gives off, adds more to the pull to keep playing.
Although, once I got the newspaper, I didn't know what to do. I've walked around seemingly everywhere and tried everything? I would really like to continue, but I don't know how.
Thanks! I tried to put in a lot of clues into the writing, so I'm glad that got through.
Here's a hint: The date in the newspaper is red for a reason. Did you also meet the technician?
Edit: I made a walkthrough for the game in case anyone else gets stumped! It's in the description of the game.
Dang, I tried that too lol. I miscounted my months :(
Wow, what a great experience. Loved the pixel art, narrative /dialogue, and going through the days. Excellent work!
