Loved the adventure concept, made me think of the broken sword series. The art and voice acting was great and I can't wait to see this fully released!
Hello, thanks ! Didnt know that game I will check it asap ;)
Yeah, it has the same style almost, although broken sword was an angled top-down view, it still made me think of it, was one of my favourite games and now this is too! (can't wait to see how it progresses)
Impressive effort and submission for the time frame! The voice acting was unexpected and definitely appreciated. I only wish some of the voice quips weren't cut short the odd time or two. Very cool artwork and game concept and the puzzles and game play were enjoyable. Overall a unique and polished entry - excited to see what more there could be! :D
Actually it's not a bug... its a feature !! More seriously, it's because if you move the player, it will activate another dialogue somewhere else, but some are random and even silent, like half time will trigger a silence, not a voice... the only bug is around the typewriter I think it's too short and its cutting the voice at some point !
Thanks ! Voice over actor really liked to participate it was very cool !
Really good art style, and beyond that I enjoyed the voice acting and title screen music quite a bit. The world you have created is especially cool, and I hope you expand upon it. Good job.
really well put together
not seen much voice acting on these games so far the performances really stood out
good job all round
Thanks, actually I did the code/art, and my friend did the writing. Then he asked a friend of him for the voice. Kind of an unusual team composition !
Cool art and nice little story! Crazy you got voice acting in! Great job. I look forward to where it goes in the future! -Mato
Does it fit the theme? I don't think so, aside from the color palette. It does use the optional mechanic (one room only) which is cool. I like the sort of Myst-style puzzle solving and it's nice that the controls are very simple. The artwork is great and the VO is nice! Excellent presentation and was enjoyable to play :)
Hello,
Well to be honest I had plan to first have the front of the house, with a little coffee shop on the side, To give the autumn feeling, just run out of time and with the "one room" seems I had tried to keep it all inside the house ! I also have seen everyone on the discord chat doing coffee shop, and leaves... so I was thinking maybe I can do something slightly different... Glad you enjoyed the game ;)
Cool art and great job voice acting the whole thing. Definitely a unique concept and very well polished!
Voice acting was a cool touch in this one and really helped navigate the player through the game. Not really an autumn theme but I liked it!
This is a cool unique experience, very creative, nicely polished and I did not expect voice-acting. Overall great game.
Thanks, I hate reading in games so ;p
Will add subtitles as soon as it's unlocked tho !
Has some nice and simple to comprehend puzzles. I like the voice acting, everything's very polished. Good job!
Interesting game with a great pixel art style! The voice over adds a nice touch as well. good stuff!
That dialogue was super funny! The aesthetic was nice too. The gameplay was alright for an escape room type game but I think the puzzles could have been designed a little more intuitively. It was a little hard to see what I had to interact with occasionally. Nice work!
Very fun little story. The character design is awesome.
Cool game! Although it felt more eerie that cosy for me. I liked the artstyle quiete a bit and could imagine the game having a very interesting story in this setting. Well done!
Well done, really enjoyed all parts of it. I can really see a lot of people enjoying this as a full-fledged game if it was continued and had a longer story, so hope you guys continue it after the jam.
Thanks ! Yes actually we are making plan to continue because we got a lot of cool feedbacks... and I wanted initially to have the outside of the house in the street, with a little coffee place etc,... and the alien should asks people in the street/coffee shop the way to get into the abandonned house. Sadly run out of time ;(
Had some trouble with the last step.At some point it just randomly worked and the lantern lit up.
I respect the voice work and art in general. It looks and sounds very nice.
However I don't really get the story at all. Why am I looking for a lantern ? Who are these alien people and why do they hate humans ?
I would have liked some resolution to these questions at the end.
Hello !
Thanks for playing !
Yes actually because of the voice over and the deadline it was kind of hard to get more lines in time, but basically planet earth gonna be destroyed and that alien need to save some artefakt from it.... but ... we forgot to add this into the game at the beginning !!
The Alien should scan and rebuild the artefakt on his planet so it is not destroyed forever. In our backstory he is called "The Curator". His job is to go from planet to planet to pickup rare items.
that's a fun idea for a story. A shame it didn't make it in the game. Maybe you can do something with that idea in a future project.
Great voice acting. We enjoyed the beautiful artwork too.
Thanks ! Lot of line are impro by him, and in such a short time to work on ;)
Highly rated. Great little puzzles and gameplay. The graphics were polished and the voice acting was an interesting surprise. Great work!
Thanks ! Tried my best but as you can see sometimes its unconsistent, Pixel art is very hard when you have to zoom on things !
Hope everyone enjoys our game.
