Nice game, man.

This game is REALLY really cool! Everything OOZES style and the writing is very sharp! The art is great and the music is chef's KISS! 

The mechanics are also really clever, I love the ability to equip different moods and intentions, and the way that they are unlocked through your choices in the story is a really smart way to marry the story and gameplay in a meaningful way. Kind of obsessed the more I think about it tbh! 

I didn't realize just how long it was going to be, so I haven't fully finished the demo, but from what I've played i'm VERY hyped for a full release. Really great work!

I really liked the art direction you took! It was very different, and you tackled really heavy themes well with your level design which was crazy to see! Very unique, very compelling, and I’m glad to have gotten exposure to it :)

If you haven’t had a chance yet, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my game too!
