If more games could achieve even a fraction of the emotion in this, the world would be a better place. I applaud you and hope that you will continue to make games like this.

Gameplay-wise, my only suggestion is to pause at the end of the scenes so that the player has time to take everything in (e.g., read the text, see the details in the scene), as I missed a couple of things my first time through.

Very well done.

its scary but more in the (i don't want that to happen to me) in this and the TV static progressing further and further along side the would-be cheerful ukulele. the driving mechanic is pretty hard to get used to and even at the last time i still don't think that i got decent control over it along with situations that are strange. the red character showing up more and more as the game goes on. and segments that feel repeated mid-day. it all despite the graphics has a uniting theme.

This game is underrated. I get that the graphics are poor and all, but the theme is incredible and the message is so strong. That also hit different for people who have friends or relatives with similar conditions. Well done, you had a great idea.

Wow ! Loved how the ambient atmosphere (sound and contrast/rotation) became messier and messier after repeating a seemingly never ending routine. The music with the few notes help out a lot in the atmosphere. Makes you wonder about your own routine and where it will get you.

Unique take on theme

Damn... I didn't expect to feel that much with a game about circle characters and stuff. Graphics really don't care when it comes to player experience I guess.

Yeah, I could tell you about the very simple gameplay, the stuttering camera during the drive sections, the quirky physics, the ground detection that seems really off...

But we both know that such critisism doesn't belong here. It's a powerful game that tells a story that hit a bit too close to home. I've ever had such strong feeling in a jam game before, and I don't know yet if I hate you of love you for that ^^'.

But yeah, good job.

Developer

You can hate me for using a trigger box for ground detection X{

Interesting concept! I found the driving to be pretty neat, however it was a bit dizzying. Overall, I really enjoyed this game! Do you mind rating mine when you get a chance?

Interesting concept haha

Totally expected to be killed by a carpet. The only improvement I can think off is to make the protagnis's sprite Pepe the Frog.

Also

Are you ok there?

Developer

After having to reinstall unity to get the web build to work, yes... I'm fine... *angry german kid noises*

Really interesting concept! The driving was a little dizzying though, cinemachine has some easy to use cameras that can smooth out that type of motion, maybe that could help.

Developer

It was due to the 'reusable prefab' workflow I made to save time, the camera is following in update whereas the car is moving in fixed update, perfect recipe for stutter :/

I liked how your perspective shifts around you when you drive around! Cool!

Hi! I like your idéa and it's ambitious to make such a big story based game on your own in such short time, telling almost all the story through action. It did become a bit repetitive and I got a bit dizzy driving, but it's a very different idea than many other games in this jam!

Your game is super amazing. Rate mine too.

Very original game ! I was hoping someone would make a game with a story like that for this game jam theme
