Plunging the toilet was my favorite mini-chore! Loved it!

I thought all the management stress during the game jam was over. I guess it was not. I got a 10/10 review on my first week though B)

The game has a nice build up where you can scroll through the rooms to see what’s going on. At first I didn’t know how to get into the house, so I restarted the game only to realise I had to open the phone and listen to the message first. Perhaps, it was me, perhaps it should’ve been clearer, or both. It’s not a difficult game in terms of mechanics but it did got me hooked. I wanted to perform well even though this so-called Beth was telling me here smoke alarm went off. Made me unsure whether I was doing well, but in the end I did apparently!

Great game, well done you guys! Enjoyed it a lot. Also, those fish eat a lot, wow.

Well done to everyone in the team! It's nice to see first-timers having a go to create something whilst learning. I hope this game jam will propel you to make more games in the future :)

Nice Implementation, i realy liked the genre and the idea behind it.GL

Developer

thank you!!

ABSOLUTELY loved this. This really felt like I was playing five nights at freddy's but calm and peaceful with the mechanics of the game. They're very responsive and tactile. I love the slow ramping up as the days past by.

If I were to nitpick I'd say maybe have a bit of an indicator as to where the trouble is, especially if you want to ramp up the difficulty and pace. This is a subjective opinion though, it works without indicators aswell.

Loved the voice acting. Amazing game!

Developer

thank you so much! Im so glad you enjoyed it <3

Submitted(+1)

Developer

thank you very much

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed the music and environment! Is there a way to rate the customer cause i worked way to hard for 0 stars lol. Great game overall tho!

Developer(+1)

I am tweaking the scoring as we speak ahahahah thanks for playing!

Nice small game. Very good idea making it a click'n'point game.

Developer(+1)

thank you !!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the detail that you had a phone and got voice messages. Got bored after Tuesday because of the repetitiveness.

Developer

understandable ahahhaha thanks for playing

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed the visuals and the voice acting a lot! Very fun game. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

thank you <3

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed my time with this the visuals were nice and would have liked to have seen more from them and i like the phone and voicemails mechanic. Only complaint is the tasks got a bit repetitive after a while especially when you had to do fix the light bulb after just fixing the light bulb.

Developer

unfortunately, its all randomly selected, I guess the fix is to knife and fork it a bit to make sure it isn't repetitive 

Submitted(+1)

Looks interesting but the game seems to force itself to 1440p? I have a lower resolution so I couldnt play it.

Developer

I've tested in lower resolutions and can't repro that sorry

have you check that you dont have weird dpi scaling in you settings?

Submitted

Thats too bad, I have two 1080p monitors, set to 100% scaling.

Developer

Sorry it's not working for you, I'd love to know how that's happening

Submitted(+1)

Very good! Lots of voicelines! I had a lot of fun at the beginning, but after some time, it got boring. I’m not entirely sure how you could make it more enjoyable but everything else about the game is top.

Developer

totally fair, we were initially planning on things getting really crazy but didn't have time so decided to keep it simple

Overall, really solid entry.
Nice artstyle, lovely voice acting and nice little tasks. The fact you managed to do all that in a week is amazing. The game could use some polish in the mechanics, but I really enjoyed it. I wish there was a way to tell more clearly where are the tasks that need fixing though. Is there a way to get more than a 0 star review?
Also, the toilet kept getting clogged every minute for a while. Guess I had too much chili haha!

Developer

yeah sorry the score balancing is probably all off because I decided to speed up the progression of the game last minute. you probably did great! ahahahahaha

Submitted

Fun game, the voice messages added so much to it, generally the phone idea is great
There are few things that you can polish if you have time after the jam: I feel like in the bulb minigame you need to click too many times; in fish minigame when they disappear it feels a bit like you killed them; and also I noticed that you can click to open minigame even if the thing is not broken

Developer

THAT IS A BUG NOOOOOO

I will fix, can you tell me which mini game?

Developer(+1)

FIXED IT
