Game description
A 2D horror game developed over seven days in November with a primary team of two. In this game, you play as a lonely man in suburbia, simply trying to complete his to-do list while slowly losing his mind.

Theme interpretation
Secrets were seen as deep, dark truths the character preferred to keep hidden. They added an element of mystery to the game, inviting players to uncover the story of what happened in the house.

Wildcards used (optional)

Small Palette

Limit your colors to 4

Good video game with a successful sound atmosphere and an original concept: it's good!

I enjoyed the little details like getting into the bed and being able to clean the house every day. It was very satisfying to pick up the mail and bottles.

I did manage to sequence break at one point but I still got through to the end.

This was awesome. Genuinely chilling, you guys should be extremely proud of your work. I've gotta go take a walk after that 😅

This was incredible! The buildup to discovering everything was very well done, the art was haunting even with its small palette with the careful use of red on greyscale. Excellent work!!

Holy shit this was amazing! I love everything about this game, the vibe, the unreliable narrator, the effects, the art style and the great attention to small details, like the portrait getting more crooked every day, and falling down more every passing day. It's hard to believe you made this in only seven days. You should be proud, well done! I legit have no other feedback. 

Keep up the amazing work!

Cool game, I don't usually play horror games but this one has a nice story. I also enjoyed the mechanics, as using the phone, checking things from a list, etc. Nicely done, congrats!

Really well made game. Creepy vibe. I love the varying levels of detail across the whole thing and the low use of color is fantastic. And it's always a ton of fun to have an unreliable narrator and the way you convey time skipping around is beautiful. I love stories that are kind of understated or lightly told like this. It's a real tasty morsel of a game.

Really impressive. I don't particularly like this style of game, but I played through the whole way. You made simple-looking pixel art very, very creepy. And the sounds were very well done, too. Great job!

Beautiful storytelling and great atmosphere! Loved how solid the sounds and cutscenes were. The game also sort of reminds me of "Memento"!

Very well executed. The sound effects were good. The teddy bear made me jump a little.

I really liked that. The atmosphere is amazing, it's a small story you tell and even though I knew quickly what happened, I still wanted to know how it ended. I felt like a psychopath still doing these things on autopilot. 

Great game. Only thing is what other people already said. Loved for the font or the whole list to be bigger.

great atmosphere, excellent sound / background audio. Minor nuisance that the font was unreadably small on the list, but doesnt detract from the experience.

A little linear. I would had liked a little more exploration and less hand holding but an interesting experience. I agree with David, the list is too small, even in full-screen mode. Also, not sure if a bug, but in the hallway it always says chores completed 1/1 despite of what I have in the list.

Pretty scary, great atmosphere and graphics. Only nitpick would be the list is bit hard to read.
