Great game! Great art and story! The music is also very fitting! My only suggestion would be to make more easy to spot what is interactable and what isn't. Also, I think the colliders of the water can and the first vase are overlapping and I needed to move the water can far away to use it on the vase. Besides that, great work!
My favorite thing was the dialogue texts, its exactly how I might imagine a campy sexist 50's household to be. Great sound, the music perfectly matched the vibe. The background art is stunningly painted! it almost clashes a little with the foreground though, (not necessarily bad because it could be used to show what is interactable).
The UI in the laboratory and garden is confusing. I sent you a message on discord so you can improve it because the idea is great and it really razzed my berries.
I love the art and the aesthetic!! There were a few visual/UI bugs with the journal, and the interactions with the garden were a bit confusing at first, but it was a lovely time all around.
The art here is great! As is the writing! It's a really charming game overall. I found it a bit confusing how some of the interactions were supposed to work, however. Or I guess more specifically I found it confusing IF the interactions were working. I have no idea if anything I did in the garden had any effect at all. Which was a shame, since the garden was seemingly the core of the game, a place I had to master to grow the plants I needed to make any potions elsewhere to complete my request from my friend.
Still, aside from the confusion, I was pleasantly surprised by how much game was created here. Lots of art, lots of dialogue, lots of options for different things to do throughout the day. This was a ton of work for a two week jam, excellent job to the whole team!
