Wow what a triumph of an entry! You can feel the love that went into this game coming straight out of the screen. The art is fantastic, the multiple paths to victory are well thought-out, and the music is very atmospheric. 

My only real bit of constructive feedback is that the camera controls need a little bit of tuning up, but I did get used to them relatively quickly so it's only a minor thing really. 

All told this is a fantastic entry that is well-deserved of a high rating. Super impressive job guys the team should be super proud! 

Nice game.

The top-down cutesy-casual visuals remind me of Overcooked, which I love. Fun Disney-esque animal style and I like the Japanese setting.

The music was good and fit the environment well. Most of the SFX have a fun sound to them. I especially like the dialogue sounds. I felt there needed to be a few more foley sounds for things; the place had a lot of activity but didn't sound that active (maybe it was a lack of ambient group sounds?).

The controls took some getting used to, having a floating mouse like that felt rather weird to me. In other games that have the mouse used for both clicking and for rotating the camera, I find they tend to have the mouse hidden and in control of the camera by default, then you hold alt or tab or something to reveal it for interacting with objects. Also, it feels weird to hover over an object just to press E, left-click would be more natural.

That being said, I did get used to the controls after a bit and didn't think too much about them after that.

The gameplay was rather unique. I didn't really get it at first but got into a bit of a groove and found it quite enjoyable. Exploring the map was fun in general, as well.

Your use of the theme was well done.

I can tell you put a lot of love into the game. Overall, a great submission.

PS

I managed to get stuck behind the dressing divider in one of the rooms by the start you can enter where the camera pans to a more downward-angled view; the one furthest to the right. I went behind the divider and couldn't escape and had to restart.

Good video game!

Wow this is very impressive! There's a lot going on in the game and it's very well polished. I did get stuck in the first room by walking past the futon behind the shade. But overall its a fantastic game! It might be beneficial to have the camera be controlled by the mouse when the player holds down the right button, that way the camera doesn't move when the player is trying to hover to interact with it.

Great game! Very polished art and music with fun gameplay too. Nice work!

This game is a mashup of the Sims and Animal Crossing in the best way! I loved the cute, little characters, mixed with the gameplay of mystery and stealth! This game also has some of the best polish in the competition, with the UI, art, and just about everything! My one suggestion would be to give the player a bit more control over where the camera is facing, but other than that, great game!

I was surprised that you actually made the art. It's amazing!

Such a sweet story! :3 The gameplay and attention to detail are really well done. I did find it a bit intrusive that after closing dialogue windows, the mouse would adjust the camera angle without clicking, but it’s not a big issue. The visuals and sound design are absolutely adorable. I also loved that the game could be completed in multiple ways—it genuinely made me want to replay it. And thank you for the gallery! The sketches and concepts were super fun to look at.

By the way, how many people worked on this? I’m genuinely impressed with how many small details, polished UI elements, and beautifully drawn assets you managed to include!

This was soooo cute! Adorable characters, great artwork and details. Great job!

Really cool! Absolutely loved the art and the cute father-daughter relationship. The controls were a bit hard and especially the mouse + E combo but that did not stop me from finishing the whole game :D Love to see Unreal Engine being put to good use  

Phenomenal game. Extremely beautiful. The 3D designs and effects are so pretty. The puzzle solving and imm sim elements were great. The arts was super cute despite the fairly dark subject matter. The music was delightful and the concept art gallery is really nice. Like every element of this game just oozes love and care. My only issue with the game is that the control scene is a little unwieldy. 3d person mouse and keyboard is a rough one to make work though. Overall a game made with a lot of care and it came out beautifully. The costume based Hitman-like system was a cool way to go with it.
