How does you game fit the theme?
The game is about the contrast between the protagonist's daydreams and the reality they are living in, the dreams are wonderful and happy, but "not real", while the reality is, well, real, much more grim and depressing.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code, art assets and music are original, we used a free font called Monsterrat (public domain) and all the sound effects are from Epidemic Sound.

great game, nice effort, Rated!
i'd love to get some feedback on my game too ;) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418965
I was reminded of my own experience with all these sensitive but precious daydream thoughts by playing this game. Really like the composition and the flow. Nice choice for the poem at the last, I appreciate the scripts a lot.
Beautiful game and story! I love the way you can interact with people and items. The music really ties it all together. The only thing I would improve is also having to click for the last panel of the story (grey screen) parts. I could read everything at my own pace, but every time the last part would fade out on its own, making me sometimes miss the last sentence/words.
Good story. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)
The first story game i´ve seen here. Good job and i really like how it fits to the theme. =)
Beautiful story and fits to the theme in a sad but clever way. And, the interaction idea is neat ^-^
The contrast between reality and the daydreams are really strong, I like this idea even if it's sad. The art is really cool too.
Congrats for this game!
Neat way to lay out a story game with a heavy, realistic message. I wish there was more to it, I feel like it ended kind of abruptly. Nice work though!
I liked the game a lot! It felt really cohesive.
In particular, mixing WASD inputs with point and click was quite genius.
Nice art style, totally fits the mood! Well crafted deep and emotional story. Great job!
Little nitpick, the last piece of dialog in a section fades out automatically sometimes preventing me from reading it all. Might want to limit moving on with a click to let players read and experience the story at their own pace.
Very deep story and lots of great art. It didn't really feel like there was a distinction between the daydreams and the reality, but otherwise played just fine.
Rated!, really nice storyline!, the way you mashed up point and click with wasd movement is really clever for me, Nice Job!
can you help rate mine too?, it would be really a huge help, Thanks!

nice story, for me the art and sounds really help this game, it feels immersive.
Day man… Ahhhhh! Couldn’t get that out of my head when coming to this game haha I really liked your take on the theme and this was a pretty well executed game. Great job and I loved what you put together here!
