I loved the artstyle! It's also a breath of fresh air to see a narrative game in the jam. Even though I didn't get all the jobs correct on the first try, having the goal of assigning everyone still added a nice layer to the reading process. Overall a great entry, keep it up.
it was nice with good writing and cute art. i think there's a problem though, when we are picking the jobs the tick only comes up with i pick 3 specific jobs for each of them and disappears when i change anything so i can't really make my own decisions and the game says I'm wrong about two of them at the end.
Thank you a lot for playing our game ! 🍭🧞♀️
Yes that's an off by 1 error that we will fix in the next update ✨
Stay tuned !
This is a neat visual novel game. I liked the dialogue system. There was no music or any kind of sound in this game even though the main menu had the settings option for turning the volume up or down. I struggled to keep up with what is being typed on the dialogue box every time it scrolls down once the dialogue box is fully filled with text. I wasn't able to match the 3 jobs between the 3 characters but I loved the idea of interviewing each candidate and matching their skills and experience with the jobs listed!
Thanks for playing and for your comment 🎃👻
We unfortunately didn’t have time to include the music and sounds in this release, but we’ll be sure to include them in the next update !
We’ll also rework the dialog system to prevent scrolling and make it smoother.
Stay tuned !🍬
The art was absolutely lovely and the use of the expansion theme was really neat. I struggled a bit with the dialogue color as others have mentioned and I'll admit, I wasn't really sure what the right answers were from the hints. But otherwise had plenty of fun so nice job overall!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback 🧜🏻♀️🧁
Sorry again for text color.
In a future update, we will add end pictures for each possible combination, followed by an explanation for why it was or wasn't the right choice. Also, we want to clean up and rethink the jobs presentations to better explain the monster's expected missions.
This way, you will know more easily how the jobs work, the monsters' stories and it will be quite simpler to understand the monsters' hidden abilities.
Also it is normal that the guesses aren't obvious. We didn't want to make the choices too straightforward to add more challenge for the player 😝
Glad you liked our game ✨
The contrast and alignment of text made it less enjoyable, but I did read it all. Neat story, I would have likes to hire one of them and see what they do to the company :D they all seem like disasters in different ways. I don't trust them...
Thank you for playing and for your kind comment 🧛🏻♀️🍦
You will be able to observe the disasters' ends by yourself in the next version 😈 stay tuned for updates !
Actually, we already have drawn the 3 ends for the "Cotton candy catcher" job but ran out of time to put them in the game with the explanations of why there were the good or wrong choices ✨
Glad you liked the game 💖
Love the art style and characters you created! 🍬
The dialogue was a bit hard to read, though—it might be clearer if the text were in a darker color!
Thanks a lot for playing 👻🍭
That will be fixed as soon as possible ✨
Glad you enjoyed the characters and the art style !
I absolutely love the art for this game! Very charming and the colors go very well! Even the settings menu is very pretty. Minor readability issue due to low contrast for the dialogue (white text on grey bg hard to see). I managed to figure it out on the first go! I love the narrative and the design for the characters. I think adding some sound effects and background music would help the ambience of the game. Overall a lovely game to play, very cozy. Great work team!
Thank you so much for your feedback and lovely compliments ! Glad you liked it 💖🎃
We will add sounds/musics and fix bugs as soon as possible ✨🧛🏻♀️
Stay tuned for updates !
I like the art style and the concept. But I think you need to refine the UI a bit.
Thank you for the feedback and for playing🍬
The game will be updated as soon as possible 🎃
Nice looking game with cute characters. Enjoyed the dialogue. After I got it wrong the first round, I was returned to the start, which wasn't ideal. Would have been nice to chose who to re-interview.
Thank you for playing 🍭
We are sorry about that. We ran out of time to fix that but will update it as soon as possible ✨🧙
Cool concept, and quite an interesting picture.
Thank you for playing and glad you liked it 😊
needs a little polish with UI design. love the art tho
Thank you 🙂
We will update it as soon as possible ✨👾
Fun puzzle! Could be nice if some of the clues were hidden in other ways other than text. Maybe visual clues on the characters could make for more satisfying puzzle solving. Lovely art and all worked very smoothly for me!
Thanks for playing and glad you liked it 💖👹
There are already actually 3 clues on the characters designs (wont say which ones for other players haha). We want to add animations later and make the text hints optional)
Stay tuned for updates ✨❄️
Love the art! Text font and color was kinda hard to read :)
Thank you for playing😊
We are sorry about that, it is due to a last minute bug. We will update it as soon as possible ✨👻
