Thanks for checking out my game! This was my first time in a game jam AND my first time using Inky, so I was definitely operating outside of my comfort zone. Feel free to leave any feedback. I'd appreciate it!

Nice job setting up the story within such a short conversation, both the little details and the background photo really helped paint a picture! I also enjoyed the frog fact at the end, it was an interesting way to tie their struggles in with the theme!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback, Laura!
The story was nice. The details on the game page help to set the scene since it is entirely a text based adventure. I appreciate the restart and theme buttons. Unfortunately I couldn't get the save / load feature to work. Still overall good work!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The save/load feature wasn't an intentional feature, so I need to learn more about Inky to either remove them or actually have those work in the future.
For a first game jam entry: Thumbs up! Good world building, plot and characters here, to refer to the main page ;). Also it has replayability to get all the events.

What can be improved
Overall I liked your game and I think I played trough all possible events. Now that you have some experience in making such a game, I hope to see another INK game of yours soon :).
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for playing, and for your detailed feedback! I'm glad to hear that the story and how it was presented through the text worked for you, as that was the area I really focused on when making it. And I agree with all of the improvements you suggested. Having a visual and musical element to the game would definitely enhance the story, so I hope to add that in the next version. And the save feature...I think Ink created that automatically? If anything, that lets me know that I still have a bit to learn in Ink :)
Cute little story. Some visuals would have been nice, but it was still charming all the same.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! I agree that a visual element would help, and I hope to add that in the next version.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback. I'm going to expand the dialogue in the next version, so it's great to hear that you want to see more!
Lovely writing! The conversation between these characters flows so naturally and I love how you captured the secret lexicon and in-jokes that couples have. Great work!
Thank you for playing, and for your feedback!
