Very beautiful game with a captivating story. Well done.

Thanks for the feedback!

One of the most beautiful games in the jam (for the art, the audio and the story). It all comes together for a super engaging atmosphere that really pulls you into the game. 

Definitely one of the highlights of the jam for me, I'd love to see this one do well when the results come through!

Thank you for your feedback, our team really cares and enjoys receiving such feedback! 

Our game will be finalized, and now our team is working on improving it.  This project was not just a jam for us - many people already loved the story. And we will definitely make the game wider and more interesting.

This was a great experience! You managed to set the atmosphere so nicely with the music and the darkness, creating perfect tension. Especially when that thing appears and the music shifts, it was terrifying the first couple times I saw it. The art is so cute as well. I did struggle a bit with the flashlight, would be nicer to have a stronger light for the flashlight. Also for some objects it was very difficult to interact with them because the interactable text box would disappear as I moved my mouse from the object to the text box, so I had to spam LMB to be able to click the box in time. I love the story telling through the environment, very nicely done. I think I fucked up because I forgot what music grandma listens to, and Aurora woke up, looked in the mirror and grandma was there instead. Not sure if that's the good or bad ending hahahaha, but I like that there are multiple.

Thanks for your review! Yes, that ending is unique. When you fail to answer the questions correctly - you fail the process of putting your grandmother to rest, and she takes over the aurora's body wanting to move on ^^

A small but engaging story-driven game. The narrative is genuinely interesting, and I loved how it was delivered through the environment—it really shows the team’s experience. The gameplay is a fairly simple point-and-click, but the atmosphere and setting made it feel great. The music added constant tension, even when everything seemed fine (until the trip to the basement). I really enjoyed it

Developer

Thank you for your review! It's important to our team! What kind of endings did you get for the game?

Submitted(+1)

I didn’t know there were multiple endings 😅
I got the one where I talked to the grandmother and left the cabin. There were also Aurora's regrets about rarely visiting her. 

Developer

Oh! Be sure to try playing more, and go through the game in other ways! Our game has as many as 4 different endings (death being one of them).

Интересная небольшая, но полноценная история. Понравилась подача нарратива не "в лоб" и наполнение игры деталями. Получила удовольствие от исследования дома и его атмосферы. Жутковато и лампово одновременно.

Developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв!

Exciting and tense point and click adventure game. I enjoyed playing through it :D and the theme of reconnecting with older relatives is moving. always send love to your grandma 👵

Developer(+1)

Overall I liked the game, beautifully drawn graphics, story, and multiple endings) It's a short game but within the jam super. The team did a great job!

Developer

Thank you! Will definitely buy the team some cookies!

It was a great pleasure to play the game and see a good ending. The game runs very smooth with each location as they're placed in satisfying order to play around. Only one puzzle was hard, the rest are fine as long as you dive into the game's context. I saw somewhere that there are more differeng endings so might try to get the rest of them. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your review! We're glad you enjoyed it! Which puzzle did you find challenging? That's right - the game has several endings. Be sure to try to go through the game in a different way - there are a lot of interesting scenes.

It was the music one. Even though I found the respectful item, I did not have any clue on what is the right answer. I guess I'm not born in a generation to guess right away XD

Short but solid story, very pleasant graphic design (for a horror). I recommend playing without flashlight, so you can see all little details, that enchance nicely made 2D backgrounds. A bit too short and not very diverse for my liking, but undoubtedly worth it and has potential to improve.

Developer

Yes, the game is quite short, but well made. Have you tried the different endings?

Submitted(+4)

A very well made, vibrant game! I really enjoyed playing it, but it would be nice to have more decisions to make or puzzles to do! Game is short, but neat, keep it up!

Developer

Our team is glad you enjoyed it! It was important to us to create a game that works well, that has a story and a plot. That's why there aren't too many puzzles. Maybe the game will have a sequel and there will be more puzzles.

Художка на высоте! Жалко бабку, а так интересная задумка. Я только не допер кто этот монстр))

Developer

Спасибо за комплимент нашим художникам! Да, даль бабулю.
А кто монстр - возможно, мы раскроем эту тему в продолжении ;)

A good interpretation of the theme. Good artistic base but lacks a bit of character. The story is nice although I would have given more space in the introduction to show more the background of context and characters. Otherwise good job guys!

Developer

Our team is glad that you enjoyed the game. We didn't give a lot of context so as not to burden the player with a lot of text. Thank you very much for your feedback!
