Impressive effort, keep it up.

Overall I liked where the story was headed, but I also got stuck on day 2 after being asked for logs like a couple other people :(

My apologies! I probably should have made the Grandma's dialogue a little more clear, for some reason it wasn't something I was really thinking about during testing.

Thanks for letting me know!

Great sound design! Darn player always ruining everything :P Good job!

The sound design and music were really cool, and the audio was great! The game's strongpoint was definitely in the story that you made, and weaving that into the gameplay. There were a few bugs - on day two, I got stuck after gathering things after the two pieces of wood before talking to the grandma then when I tried to talk to the grandma I got the message that I didn't have what she asked for; after that I gathered two pieces of wood assuming that they had to be the latest two things collected and brought them to the grandmother, but I kept getting the message that I didn't have what was asked for despite trying many different objects. Overall, the game was really interesting and I wish I got to see the ending!

Developer

Interesting, I'll look into it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Really cool game. All of the sounds were very satisfying, and I loved the atmosphere of it all. It really felt like a big world that we could only see a part of. I got stuck on the second day though. I grabbed all the lemons when I climbed the tree, and I think that may have messed with it. Good game though.

I believe the lemons should regenerate after 10-20 seconds, but I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks for the feedback!
