Lovable art style and interesting story. Add some appropriate background music and it's perfect for this jam.

A nice implementation of the theme and an important topic to have a spotlight on. Very enjoyable play experience!

When I encountered the locked toolbox, I assumed the key from the bedroom was required, but as I opened my inventory, it was gone, so I thought it was a bug. I found the correct key nonetheless, but I'd suggest adding info whenever a key is used to open stuff.

Overall, great job! There's quite some content for a 50h-Jam!

Had a great time playing this game as i loved the litte story. I feel the art could be greater to better tell the story but a litte point and click game on a girl fighting depression sounds cool.

Thanks for participating in the jam! I really love that everything is hand drawn - that's exactly the reason why we are hosting this jam. :) Also great incorperation of the theme... after all, what could bring more comfort than going to sleep in a comfy bed!

This kind of gameplay isn't my cup of tea, but it feels like this is quite complete (multiple small puzzles, progression towards a long term goal that we end up achieving).

The main issue i have with it is that the door has nothing to indicate it can be used, i almost thought there was nothing more to do when i finished the painting.

There is already a lot for such a short game jam, but it feels like having optionnal tasks could improve the experience a lot.

Finally, the slow movement is totally accurate to real depression, so good job on that ^^

Thanks for the feedback clephanie! We definitely wanted to have an indicator to use the door after finishing the painting, but we ran out of time! Hopefully we'll release a patch for it to add the stuff we missed.
