I love the art style! The old-school retro vibe is really cool :)) I wish there was a tutorial cause i dont really understand what is happening and what im meant to do. Maybe some dialogue pop-ups to give the player hints would be ideal. Otherwise, i thought it was really cute and very impressive!

I'm glad I read your comment about how to get the ending. Once I understood that that I was unlocking and refilling hearts it helped me grasp the gameplay loop better.

I think this game is really special. It's incredibly cute and charming despite the dark subject matter. My favorite part was changing outfits; I especially like the little ribbon on the halo in one of them. The attention to detail with little touches like that are great.

The fact that getting into a routine of doing chores and keeping busy was key to feeling better rings true. I felt happy to see them recover bit by bit over the days. It was worth it to go back and see it through to the end.

Really enjoyed this game you made here. I spoilerd myself a bit by reading your answer to ilPrinnis comment. This though led me to have a goal for playing it. Open the door. You obviously tell this the player too, but I believe it is easy to think that reaching full hearts it the goal here and therefore overlooking the real goal, to get healthy and back into the world again (atleast that was my goal).
I enjoyed solving the puzzle of how to wake up each morning and end the day that my character can wake up better next morning. Big steps were for example finding out that I shouldn't cut myself. I did this often because I wanted to end the day with the most happiness, but by doing this I hurt myself in the long term.
I really enjoyed finally seeing my plant starting to live and growing each day :D
The music feels perfectly integrated into the game and is a good fit for it.
Great journey, nice art and just all in all a great game.

Such a awesome entry, I think its awesome to see games that are genuinely thoughtful made in such a short time. I couldn't find a way to """win""" but I would honestly believe that there is no way to prevent the ending. Its a very sad game, with such lovely pixel art too. Fantastic work.

I really cant think of anything that can improve on this that isn't alot more work then the time would allow. But If time wasn't a thing in the jam, it would have been awesome to see the game go for a few days or so, maybe, increasing the amount of "locked" hearts each day to kinda help people with less experience with what its like to have a sense of hopelessness and being shut it, create that sense that things are only getting worse. I think it might make the game a bit more tedious, but that might be good for the themeing, part of what makes being shut it so mentally draining is how easy it is for life to start feeling horrifically tedious. But again, adding a day system and dragging content out isnt realistic of for a jam time limit haha.

What you made here is damn fantastic, covering pretty damn relatable feelings especially with the pandemic. Amazing pixel art, and even a outfit selector. 10/10

Fantastic work! (and if you ever need to talk dont hesitate to ask!)

Such a nice game, the theme is a bit sad but I really liked it, I tried really hard to keep the little angel healthy and happy. The pixel art is very cute though it is hard to recognise some of the items at first glance. Overall it is a nice game :)

Very cute pixel art! Love it!

I really love it!! The pixel art its very cute, the game feels really unique. I get the bad ending in my first play and get on a straight silence for a minutes... i really dint expected a game for a jam having a tone like that

Also a really like the outfits and all the little details!

Such cute graphics! And so many interactive items. This little house looks very cozy and detailed. And it's also very cool that there is a little story here. I loved this game

I really love this kind of game and I found it to be beautiful. there have been times in my life when I’ve lived as a shut-in leaving the house once a week for groceries, and this simple, quiet game really captures the essence of how challenging it can be to remember to do the simple tasks of staying alive like eating, sleeping, cleaning, taking meds, hobbies, etc. without being obsessive or resorting to harmful coping mechanisms. I’m not sure I would call this game “fun” – instead I’d call it thoughtful, sad, and lovely. great work. my favorite game of the jam so far.
