Great start to your adventure! Sets the over-the-top vibe rather well. And it looks really good. Unfortunately I didn't get too far into the game. First I couldn't leave the scene with the goblin and had to restart. And then I got stuck again at the maze. Just couldn't figure it out. That's a real shame, because I'd have liked to see the game through to the end.

But I really like what I've seen so far (apart from the maze). It seems like a long game, pretty impressive for a jam game. Plus it has that wonderful oldschool adventure style. Good job!

Oh my god that maze is impossible!! Hints won't work, I'm so stuck :-/

The first time I tried to play it, one of the doors was already open, so I ended up being able to go everywhere before encountering the goblin. None of it made any sense to me. On a second attempt, it worked normally. I'm still stuck though, as even with the map of the maze, there doesn't seem to be any way to progress. I'm following the path as outlined and on what I think is the last screen, nothing happens other than ending up at an earlier screen, regardless of the exit I take.

Applausi per i nomi Italiani, se prendo un ragno lo chiamerò Cinzia haha

Very lovely art, classic nostalgic surreal-cartoon point and click! The only thing I would say is, because it leans so much into the surreal "nonsense" bit, you end completely stuck up 30 items in the inventory which you have no clue whatsoever as to what they would be used for,  and with areas that make you feel extremely lost because the graphics don't match between the entering and the exit. Exiting the maze was a pain as it was quite unclear haha. Apart from that, I love the writing and the art! Great job!

As for bugs themselves I haven't encountered too many; the tape and plasters (bandaids) respawn endlessly and there's one of the backdrops in the maze that makes you crash back to the main menu if interacting with an exit, overall nothing that compromises the gameplay.

Very fun game. much longer than I thought it would be!
Got lost a few times but thats normal in a Jam game I guess. with some polish this could be great!

Thank you very much for your feedback.

I've got some feedback about bugs/glitches here and there, I'm looking into them to polish the game as suggested. :)

This game had a few jokes that made me laugh and I really liked the goblin.

Hi there! One of our mods noticed that you may have uploaded only the .exe rather than the full build folder, so it is not possible to run the game. Feel free to message me for any help updating your game upload!

Hello, thanks for your message! I just uploaded the full folder as a winrar archive.
