Really cool. At first I thought there might be a jump scare or this is going to be a horror game. Turns out it’s a game with a very positive message. One feedback I would give is that perhaps consider adding subtitle. Nice work!

A good story to tell, and it was well told.

I love narrative games like this that leave you thinking after.  The aesthetics are gorgeous, I love that art style and going into it blind, I was expecting horror and found relatable.  It was an unexpected but welcomed twist.  Love this game, it's in my fave jam games collection for sure.   Oh! And that effect where you went in and out of her mind was amazing!!!! I need to learn how to do that.

Oh! And that effect where you went in and out of her mind was amazing!!!! I need to learn how to do that.

From the technical side it's not that hard to do (the Turn-Based Strategy course for example has something similar when the view focuses on one unit while firing and then back to the player's perspective). The hard part is coming up with when and how to make use of such a thing...

I'm newer to the developing world and make elaborate picture books lol 🤣 if I can get this bubble shooter I'm making to work, we'll be amazing so... To me it seemed amazing. I've actually seen two games this jam that have used the effect, both of which are on my profile as some of my favs jam games... It might be easy, but it doesn't make it less amazing to me. 😊🌹

Superb story and take on the theme. This is a really creative project and all the voice recording was awesome. I played it on my youtube and gave my reactions if you want to check it out, I was quiet just playing through it a lot of the time not because I wasnt in to it I was just focusing and wanting to see where it went. Really like this a lot. You have a future in writing stories.

Wow, this was a very unique game! The story was impactful, and I really liked the voice acting. My favorite part was writing the apology letter---I would love to see a longer game with that type of mechanic. Great job! :)

Little bit surreal, but good because it's different. Playability could be better, but kept me intrigued till the end. Well done!

Movement feels a bit floaty, but maybe intentionally so...

When all movement and other interaction is by keyboard, so should closing the dialogue popups too...

You might want to make sure a voice over only plays once at a time, at one point (don't remember where though) I could hit the key for interaction and it played multiple times each time I pressed the key...

Holy shit! What an outstanding piece of art. I feel really fortunate that the submission feed surfaced it to me. It feels like there is a genuine message in here that could help a lot of people. The artwork is really outstanding, the voice-overs are done to a professional standard and the story is really quite meaningful. I had a few issues here and there with layering and it wasn't always clear that I needed to press space bar to progress the story along and movement could perhaps have been a bit faster, but these are really nit-picky, small considerations. You've produced something truly awesome for a 7-day game jam. It will undoubtedly be one of the highest ranking games in the jam. Amazing work.

Nice job!  I like the art style, and the concept of the inner room during therapy sessions.

Wow, I really like the art and visuals of the game. There is an element of horror and mystery to the story. would love to see more of, currently I couldn't do anything on day 3. The sound and music is also well done. I love it.

Very good storygame with a deep meaning! Loved the art and the gameplay, unfortunatelly if you click the object fast the voices are playing at the same time.

So good!  The visual design is absolutely beautiful, the story is very original and the voice acting is great.  It immediately gave me a feeling of unease, which increased over time.  Nice work, team!

Wow, I didn't know where this game was going to go!I had some real worries when the ghost rabbit showed up.

It was difficult at times to know what to do, or to stand in the exact correct spot to trigger the next prompt. I did get stuck at one point, but luckily someone else in the comments had the same problem so I knew what to do from your reply to them. :)

Very well done!

There are a lot of things to like about this game.
I personally loved the theme you went for and the details you put into this game.
Like the fact that when you are a teenager you move more slowly compared to when you're younger.
This game really has it's personality and this is one of the hardest things to accomplish!
Bravo!

I love the aesthetics and the voice acting! I got sometimes lost without knowing what to do. Furthermore, I didn’t understand very well the theme use, but it can be some concept I’m not familiarized. Likewise, I think the story is very deep, and I see the game trying to make a connection between the character and the player. Good work!

Developer

This game is indeed charming and has a unique flair to it! The connection to the “Last Stand” theme is not immediately apparent, but that’s the beauty of interpretation in gaming. Perhaps you could explain more? Keep working on your game, and you could create a very interesting game. Keep up the great work! 👏

Hey! Thanks for playing :) We try to bring a fight against inner conflics. Last Stand against the evil in our self.
