I love how the game looks and sounds. The ambiance noise helps build the feeling of uneasiness. And I like that there are also sound effects related to the NPC in the bus that play randomly.

The story is nice. The dialogues are enjoyable to read through. I like all the endings. The hidden ending was unexpected.

The interactable point doesn't make sense sometime, like the lighter that I have to look at the seat to pick up, whatever it is on the ground around the bus stop.

When I picked up the rose and got off the bus, I kinda got stuck, can't really interact with anything.

Overall, great game.

Hmm, the visuals are obviously nice and good dialogue too, but I hoped it had something to do with the jam's theme. Perhaps I need to explore the other endings. Good job on this anyway!

Thanks for playing <3

Actually when I'm stuck with the idea for this jam, I saw one of the suggestions in jam page: "Exposing the truth" which is kinda similar to what I'm doing with the game so I decided to move on xP.

I love this mysterious atmosphere and PS1-style visual with Silent Hill vibes! Really great work!
Dancing duck is my favorite :D

Very cool atmosphere to this game. Also impressive you managed to get in multiple endings.

Developer

Thank you <3

I was not expecting this and when I saw multiple endings, I then decided to spend the next hour or so trying to get them all. This is very interesting and should have many more ratings! My only critique is maybe a hint towards the hidden endings but even then some people like not having that so good job!

Love these types of horror games, Ive only gotten one ending so far but I plan to go back and replay, great job! If you want to watch my playthrough I posted one on youtube, timestamp 53:58 https://www.youtube.com/@constantanxiety7182/videos

I want more games like this, the retrò graphics is such a great fit for horror! Reminds me of Paratopic and Silent Hill.

Also has a nice dancing duck, easy win

Thanks so much <3 I love these kinds of game too. Definitely try to make more in the future!

I had a rope when I steped of the bus - the indicater said I could interact with stuff there but nothing ever happend - did I miss something? I also had no idea if I should have picked on of the other items...
The duck is cute and the Artstyle very nice.

Developer

Thanks for playing <3

If you get out of the bus with the rope, you are supposed to interact with the bus stop boot, not the indicater. How about giving it one more try? :)

Breaking-dancing duck, ginger biscuits & multiple endings - this was wonderful! Loved the gloomy & absurd atmosphere & dialogue hehe :) thanks for creating this!

Developer

Thank you so much <3

The idea of shovelling a pizza into a duck's mouth on a bus as it holds a rose is not something I think that can or should be described

Developer

Thanks for playing. Same thought xD

This is such a great game. Very atmospheric and fun to go through. The story and the endings I have seen (1, 3 & 5) are pretty sad.
