How does you game fit the theme?
Don’t is the embodiment of the theme ‘It is not real’ as it exaggerates those concocted childhood warnings to show how nonsensical they truly are. Each level has a clear “don’t” statement that must be breached, causing a dramatic transition to the imaginary world that children envision as the consequence. The game is an overarching lesson that many of the warnings parents give children ‘are not real.’

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Don’t was created from scratch with all code and most models being sourced from the core development team. The exception was the playable character Timmy, whose model and animations were source from ‘Mixamo.com.’ Many of the other models’ textures were sourced from the Megascans library and are covered by the personal license owned by one of the team members. All sound was sourced from uncopyrighted websites like ‘freesound.org.’

I think this is the game for which I gave the highest rating as of now.  Perfect. I loved the character. I think it's from that adobe maxim something. He is great.  Add some screenshots as your game is downloadable. In that way, people will know how good your game is. Just a suggestion, you can try making the thumbnail look more interesting. Maybe use  a screenshot from game.

Thanks so much for the review. We have had troubles uploading images to our account but will hopefully be sorted soon (I think it might have worked now?) :)
