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.

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!
Thank you so much for playing the game!
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.
Kudos!! made a really good one
Thank you!!
Really cool game, I was very surprised by the ending. The art is also fantastic, great work!
Thank you so much for playing!
Very fun little game ! I love the concept !
Thank you for the feedback!
Played through your game on stream, if you wanted to watch me go through it ive got the vod below timestamped to your game
Thank you for playing the game!
The game really draws you in with its charming atmosphere, but that twist took me by surprise! The pacing was well done, and the buildup made the reveal all the more impactful. The art and sound design worked perfectly to set the mood. Nicely executed!
Thank you so much for the comment. We are happy that you enjoyed the experience!
This is just awesome! Really did not see that coming either, - charming (and then grizzly) little game. Great job!
Hey ! 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.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Amazing job on the theme, the twist is really well done. Also props for the visuals!
What a nice chill game about doing your chores :) Can't wait for my guests to arrive!
"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
Such funny feedback, thank you!
Great plot twist!
Whata a polished and fun game! Loved the plot twist!
Damn this has a lot of polish, def one of my fave ones!!
Your 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.
Well done and polished game.
I was expecting some kind of twist, but definitely not that. Haha good job.
crazy cool game! i loved the art style and the twist to it. great game!
Good 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
