The game looks amazing! I love the whole story of it (It made me cry!) It would be amazing to see a full version with different days!

Saw this game in the GMTK video, caught my eye. I love the overall vibe, the sound design is great and the main mechanic is a fun and innovative way of making dialogue more interactive. So points there.
But I'm sorry, I must be the only person who found the narrative borderline offensive. A psychotherapist who burdens their (traumatized, if only humoristic) client with their own problems? It felt guilt-trippy and infuriating, not "wholesome".
Such a great narrative game, it was so engaging I loved every moment of it. I like how we can interact, with both text and objects allowing us to experiment. The art style is so pretty, and the story is very interesting and well told.
The web version crashed for me also towards the end, but I could play smoothly with the downloadable windows one! You did a fantastic job, congratulations!
Best narrative game I'v played in the jam. It really fits the theme on gameplay and narrative. Cute pastel arts. Outstanding 11/10 <3
Good job !
I don't know why, but I got this error:

I didn't expect a therapy session about the frog incident... let alone a therapy session for my therapist. I felt genuine pleasure in giving my therapist the attention they deserve in their very difficult life. They're human too, after all.
Great game, phenomenal artwork, and brilliant idea. Glad I got to play. Wish I could make it to the end.

I felt a bit lost at first, but you quickly guided me to the object of the game! It was fun to explore the therapy room for inspiration to help my therapist. Ther' 'appy.
I wasn't able to finish because of that error I got. Perhaps it's because I was using firefox? Either way, I hope you're able to figure out the issue.

I think the thing I loved about the creativity most was that you didn't explicitly reveal the plot. You made it very intuitive. It was fun to become the therapist for a moment. I'm rating it 5 stars because of how brilliantly unique this idea was. Great job!

My wife walked in while I was playing in awe, and was like "that's pretty," which brought me back to reality for a moment. I was like "uhh... oh, yeah, it is!"
I was so engaged that I didn't have my critic goggles on! You did a phenomenal job with the presentation, the music, and the sfx.
That's the most thorough review we've received so far, a huge thanks for taking the time to do it and for your kind words! We're very sorry about the crash, it's indeed been reported to us several times and we've identified the problem but can't update it while the submissions are still being rated. The downloadable build works fine though, if you're ever curious about seeing the end :)
I'll make sure to check your entry later!
This is a really nice entry and a wholesome game to play : every tiny element in the game feels well-thought and masterfully implemented. Congratulations ! :D
The way the art scales as the conversation goes on was perfect!
I loved it!! The concept is really cool and it was well executed. The music and animation was really nice and love the art and design of this game ! Great job , the game is beautiful ! :)
