I didn't know how to progress beyond the CV :/ but I will say, the atmosphere and graphics were top notch
Ok, that one hit me where I didn't expect. It really managed to capture the stress you go through when you're preparing for something important. Sometimes, there just isn't enough time, and sometimes, that's alright.
The game was well made. Like the art and audio.
Very polished and nice to play game! Thanks for the experience :)
I was like "Oh maybe I am applying for a regular office job" until I saw it.
I like how this game presents a few scenarios in a way where you complete minigames that are fun and shorts. I think the length is great and makes clear what theme is showing.
I like the visuals and the song in the background.
I don’t have much to say because I think it’s a good game as it is now! :D
Nice cozy game, except for 1 scenario that shows haha.
I totally agree.I think we should have changed the scenario more to include life events, like having visitors. 🙃
What an incrediblly well polished game, with so much content! I loved every moment. It felt really good to play.
I really love puzzle games so I was excited to play this when I found it! The 'Little to the Left' inspirations are obvious which I love btw. I really like the take on the theme as well! Well done! Some nitpicks: I wish the items in some puzzles snapped in place because that makes it even more satisfying :) Good job! I am really happy that are more puzzle games in the jam. I've been struggling to find them. I also made a puzzle game if you want to check it out :)
Wow, what a great take on the theme! The artwork really did the job of providing calming puzzles, and then capstoning each one with that deep breath and pounding heartbeat was inspired. Really really cool!
Very unusual game, didn't understand everything right away, but went all the way through. Love sorting the items, very relaxing. The idea is super!
The inspiration from games like A Little to the Left is very clear, but I couldn't help feeling like the organizing puzzles weren't quite a precise as I was expecting from a game like this. However, I really enjoyed the little minigames in between the organizing and thought it was a good way to set it apart from similar games.
A lot of fun!
I really enjoyed arranging things! Moving those things around also felt really nice.
The direction in which the story changed towards took me really off-guard, but it was a nice change considering the theme of the game. Would have loved to see some sort of gameplay around that part of the game, but it is good as it is.
Enjoyed it!
Nice art style! I really enjoyed it :) Keep it up!!
nice art, very good aesthetic satisfying gameplay
Hee-ho. Nice art
This one is a gem! It really hooked me in. Art is really nice and calm, sound design is great. Super great job done!
Minor Spoiler: not sure why you need a AR in your backpack. I guess if things go south...
So glad you enjoyed the game! We chose AR over an RPG because, let’s be honest, finding space for an RPG in a backpack is a tall order! 🙃
Sooo satisfying, I loved it.
Very cool, the music and SFX were particularly good.
That first one of arranging the text on the paper got me a little bit on edge, but the rest is wonderful! I really admire the art style. I love seeing those scribbles, seems like someone had some fun time writing them out :) It fits the them well, taking one side preparing for the 'storm' to happen.
Overall well done! Hope to see your work featured!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the art style and that the theme resonated with you. It was definitely a fun process creating those scribbles :)
I enjoyed the game! I love the calm colors you used and it really did make me feel calm xD. I had an issue with the text on the far left side, half of the first words were gone. I like the idea. Good job!
Glad the colors and atmosphere made you feel calm that's exactly what I was aiming for! :) I hope the UI problem didn't effect the gameplay too much 🥲
