I almost closed the game before completing cleaning everything (was a bit tedious) but I didn't, because I liked how beatiful and chill the game is overall. And I was really surprised by the ending and I liked it a lot! Definetly didn't expect it. I thought that there will be some mini-game to surve guests and a time limit. But that was so much better emotion-wise. Great job!

How does your game fit the theme?
The game presents 2 phases, one calm at the start of the game when cleaning the cottage and a second one of "tempest" when the guest arrives
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the assets and the code was created from scratch during Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2, except for sound effects made using Freesound.org.

Quite a surprising ending. Would never expect that end to this game. Really cool implementation of the game. Liked it a lot. The art was great, and audio design is crisp.

FloodworksHey ! Brilliant game, the end twist is well done (I still don't know how I couldn't see that coming despite spending 5 minutes to clean every bloodstrains on my way ahah).
Anyway, the art is really great and the music fit well ! Also great theme interpretation, that quite amazed me ahah.

SINGULARITYWhat a nice chill game about doing your chores :) Can't wait for my guests to arrive!

The Operator"Ahh, what a nice, relaxing game about tidying up a house before guests come in...
...wait, is that blood?
Nah, it must be ketchup or something like that.
Let's receive the guests!
That's strange, the theme of the jam was "calm before the storm", but everything is calm right now...
...oh."
But really, great little game! The theming is just on spot!
Just found the controls to be a bit slow, but thinking back, that adds a lot to the tension.
Good job! :D

SILENZIOYour github link isn't working. I get a 404 error message.
The pixel art is glorious. I really liked the art style. The music was used very well. Flipping between calm and horrifying. It's very short, but I was genuinely surprised at the twist. I thought I was just cleaning up muddy footprints!
Recommendations:
- Longer.
- It's best not to capture the cursor if the game doesn't use the mouse.
- Add more to the game play. Maybe you have to avoid guests seeing you doing the bad thing and so have to pick the moment carefully. Try to have some kind of lose state.

MARS MANIAGood interpretation of the theme.
I got stuck on doors not looking like doors and the cloth things I picked up not sure what they were.
Other than that as soon as he locked the door behind the guests I knew what was about to happen.
10/10 would dine on my guests again

Silent HarborGreat take on the theme!!
Got a bit hung up on that towel/cloth looking object for a bit but figured things out once I realized you could go through the doors.
Well done :)
