Really sweet game. Loved seeing all the interactions, and the story was nice. It is quite linear though, most of the game is going somewhere, interacting with something, going where it tells you, rinse and repeat, with very few moments were you had to actually piece together some information or use the item system in a way that required more thinking. It was still really fun to go through the story though and there were lots of little interactions to see, I love how you could use vedal and evil on items and characters to see their reactions as well. I love the art too, the characters are so cute, and the audio fits well. In general, this was really fun and I just wish it was a little less linear with more puzzle elements, but this is great for the scope of the jam.

There is an incredible amount of content in this for such a short game jam. It actually feels like a complete game. The puzzles were a lot of fun and not too difficult. Great Work!

Playthrough - What a nice and simple detective game! I had fun figuring things out, great job! (Audio could be improved though or it's just me...)

Thanks for the video playthrough! Not sure if it’s due to the recording or it’s a YouTube “feature”, but the music does seem to play with somewhat less depth. If this is the Windows version, I wonder if you can reproduce it with the web version too?

I really loved the art style in this game, and how smooth it felt. The plot was also very cute, at least what I saw of it. I liked things like how clicking the harpoon with Evil has special dialog, etc., and many of the lines made me chuckle. The dialog also felt like it matched how the different characters talked, which is hard to pull off!

I wanted to play more, if there was more, I'm not sure. When I gave the repaired part to the robot, it didn't feel like the end of the game, but it wasn't clear that there was anything left to do, the mystery had been solved. But the robot didn't "go home" like it said it would, it just stayed there, and the dialog with other characters seemed to change. I'm not sure if I hit a bug or if I just missed something. But I enjoyed it!

Thanks for playing! Yes, there’s one more item you can collect and give to it, which will lead to the final scene. Hint: You might have already collected it, and kind of relates to the theme.

Very cute game! I liked the humor in the dialogue

You got so much done in so little time! I really loved the art style and the humor.

I ran into a small audio bug when I double clicked on an overworld map location - from then on two different music tracks started playing simultaneously. It was a minor thing, but I had to mute for the rest of the game because of it.

Thanks for the bug report! This will be fixed in the post-jam version.

The small details were nice,

Like evil having specific dialogue on certain items, or dialogue changing when you had neuro.

Overall I liked the art, and just the game overall was pretty awesome :D

A clever little point-and-click puzzle with some really nice art! I do wish interactable items were like highlighted, but all in all super fun!
