A pretty cute really atmospheric game with a simple and light story. I like it ! The only thing I can criticize is the fact that you shouldn't have to click through each image to progress, it break the flow a bit.

If you have time check our game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928514 (we need more honest reviews :))
Really cute and nice game! As a lot of people said, faster scrolling speed, and not being able to scroll down if you haven't finished the panel's minigame would be pretty good quality of life improvements.
Another thing that'd be cool is to have the audio evolve with the story, to match the changing ambiance and environment, for instance having the piano being replace by a music box when night comes :)
Super cute and fun~
Minor issues like whether it's time to scroll down more, and the flag minigame's difficulty - but really no major issues, and nothing unexpected from a jam.
Beautiful and well-made, all things considered!
that was just so quite and beautiful, love your art and the fact that it was hand drawn is just awesome. this was one of the best games i've played for this jam!
This is a game I'd love to show my niece. Beautiful art combined with a nice, dreamy story. Well done! To some feedback: The pictures could've revealed a little faster and sometimes didn't appear which made me unsure if I missed a task to click something or perhaps just had to wait a certain amount of time. Adding some sort of feedback or something that allows the player to understand when the next image will appear. Other than that I think it's a beautiful story you're telling through words and art. Great job!
Beautiful! The frames could fade in a bit earlier, and some kind of feedback, whether it's while you're interacting with the frames, or maybe an indicator that lets you know you can move on, may be helpful. (you had some feedback on some of the frames I believe)
But besides those small things, this was great and very unique. Well done.
I really like the artistic feel it has, even though it was a little hard to know what I should be clicking to progress the story, maybe some visual indicator to know what is clickable and what isn’t would have been nice
This is really awesome! Love the art, the sound design could get some work done, but taking into consideration this was made in a week, it's basically perfect. The camera could move a bit faster or have a bit of a mechanism so that it slows down when a picture is in the middle of the screen, I get why the camera is slow tho and its more of an artistic choice than an objective one. One of the best games this jam for sure
A good game. I love the art style. It being a interactive comic made it better. I loved the story although the speed of the camera can be faster.
the art is absolutely stunning! I loved this idea of a interactive comics :> really well done for a week !
the only things I suggest is to speed up the scrolling a bit. and maybe give an indication of where should the player click? or even an indication that I clicked on the right spot? I ended up getting stuck when she asked me to click on the flag and just started clicking on everything until something happened >.<
I'm blown away by the art style! Was all that done digitally?
Sonya is very cute... ♥
This is such an amazing beautiful game! Amazing art, music and story! This is an incredible creation!
More than awesome art!! I just feel that the interaction needs some feedback to get the viewer participating in the story, rather than just watching.
And again, AWESOME ART, Love it.
