It's a game about serving Halloween monsters at the bar!

It was fast and easy to learn how the game works. The gameplay is simple but fits the chill tone of the game and allows the dialogue from the characters to shine. The visuals are spectacular with lots of detail while fitting the Gameboy aesthetic. The music is nice to listen to and fits both the game's chill tone and the jam's theme very well. There could be more gameplay mechanics and more sound effects though.
Overall, solid game 👍
Nice one with interesting story. As previously stated, a tad too slow, but otherwise great entry.
Fun dialougue and graphics, would be nice if it was a little quicker or if more than one customer came in at a time, perhaps even a time limit to serve each to add a little confusion etc perhaps some talk longer than others, eating into the time left to serve other patrons, but a good submition for the Jam
Cozy and nice game, i liked it.

Super cozy game, love it.
Nice chill game. Dig the graphics and dialogue. Funny in a spooky way!
I really enjoyed this game! I was sad when it seemed to be stuck on the vampire on the 3rd day and I couldn't continue. I really enjoyed the dialog and personality each character had. One suggestion would be to vary the soundtrack up a little as the music was cute but somewhat repetitive after awhile.
A cute and cosy game. I love that idea of running a bar for spirits and demons. I hope that little guy's

The characters are charming and I love the concept. I had a glitch that made me get stuck on the vampire on day 3 but I still enjoyed the game. The characters kept me playing to see what was gonna happen next. Good job!
